Metamaterial Absorption Technology
A maze-like structure behind the tweeter absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound radiating from its rear — cutting distortion for purer, more natural highs.

Every detail, every breath between the notes. Six decades of British acoustic engineering, now in our showroom and online.
The KEF story
In 1961, BBC engineer Raymond Cooke set up shop in a Nissen hut on the grounds of Kent Engineering & Foundry — the company that gave KEF its name. His goal was simple and stubborn: reproduce sound exactly as the artist intended.
More than sixty years later, that obsession drives every KEF loudspeaker. Designed and engineered in Maidstone, England, each one is built to disappear and leave only the music.
Innovation
KEF doesn't chase effects. Its engineers remove what gets in the way — distortion, colouration, resonance — until what's left is the recording itself.
Signature technology
The tweeter sits at the acoustic centre of the midrange cone, so every frequency radiates from a single point. The result: a wide, even sweet spot and a stereo image that stays locked in place wherever you sit.

Opposed, force-cancelling drivers share one motor system, so KEF subwoofers deliver deep, controlled bass from remarkably compact cabinets.
AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect, all streamed in high resolution and controlled from the KEF Connect app.

Most speakers place the tweeter and midrange apart, so the sound shifts as you move. Uni-Q puts the tweeter at the centre of the midrange cone, so all frequencies arrive together and sound natural across the whole room, not just the sweet spot.
Absolutely. Tell us about your room and what you listen to, and our team will put together a matched system, from source to subwoofer.
