KEF Reference 5 Meta

• Design:
  A three-way bass reflex design for precise and balanced sound performance across the full frequency spectrum.

• Uni-Q Driver Array:

  • HF: 25mm (1 in.) aluminum dome tweeter with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) for reduced distortion and clearer highs.
  • MF: 125mm (5 in.) aluminum cone for smooth, detailed midrange.

• Bass Units:

  • Four 165mm (6.5 in.) aluminum cone drivers provide deep, punchy bass.

• Frequency Range:

  • Free field (-6dB): 35Hz - 45kHz with short port, 32Hz - 45kHz with long port.
  • In-room bass response (-6dB): Extends down to 25Hz for enhanced low-frequency depth.

• Frequency Response:

  • 40Hz – 35kHz (±3dB), delivering a wide range of clear sound from lows to highs.

• Crossover Frequency:

  • 450 Hz, 2.1 kHz, ensuring seamless transitions between drivers for coherent sound.

• Amplifier Requirements:

  • 50 - 400W, offering flexibility in pairing with a variety of amplifiers.

• Sensitivity:

  • 88dB (2.83V/1m), ensuring efficient sound output with low power consumption.

• Harmonic Distortion:

  • Less than 0.5% from 40Hz to 100kHz, less than 0.2% from 200Hz to 2kHz, and less than 0.1% from 2kHz to 20kHz, for minimal distortion across all frequencies.

• Maximum Output:

  • Peak sound pressure level of 116dB at 1 meter, delivering powerful and dynamic sound.

• Impedance:

  • 4 Ω (minimum 3.2 Ω), making it suitable for high-performance audio setups.

• Dimensions:

  • Without plinth: 1350 x 205 x 462 mm (53.1 x 8.1 x 18.2 in.).
  • With plinth: 1402 x 323 x 467 mm (55.2 x 12.7 x 18.4 in.).

• Weight:

  • 60.2 kg (132.7 lbs.), providing a sturdy build for enhanced stability and performance.
