About this product

The R8 Meta can serve as a surround or rear speaker with the integrated wall mount feature, or be placed upon another speaker for Dolby Atmos height to bounce sound off the ceiling, bringing Dolby Atmos to the room with no need for custom installation. It has a 12th generation Uni-Q array with MAT to steer the sound for genuine 3D results.

Features

  • Tweeter

    Refined tweeter gap damper tames resonances for improved detail

  • Superior Sound

    The Uni-Q driver array has been redesigned to maximise the performance improvements that MAT delivers. The conical waveguide that couples the tweeter dome to the metamaterial absorber has been specially designed for the bespoke driver based on its depth.

  • Shadow Flare

    Feature designed for The Reference. Reduces harmful cabinet diffraction, allowing the 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT to work to its potential.

  • Performance

    Powerful drivers can easily cause the cabinet walls to make noise of their own.

  • Suggestion

    If you want to experience the glorious experience that is Dolby Atmos, then the R8 Meta surround speaker is an ideal addition to a surround system. It can be either wall-mounted or placed on top of another R Series loudspeaker, for sensationally immersive sound.

    R8 Meta Dolby Atmos Module Speakers

    [Employee of bestbuy] These Atmos modules add a noticeable sense of height and immersion to my home theater setup. Dialogue and sound effects feel like they are coming from above rather than just the front of the room, which makes movies and streaming content much more engaging. Build quality is excellent and they match perfectly with compatible KEF speakers for a clean, seamless look. Setup was simple and they integrated easily with my receiver’s Atmos calibration. Great upgrade for anyone wanting true overhead sound without cutting into the ceiling.

    Unbelievable Atmos

    Upgraded from Q50a's. R8 blew me away sound is 45% better and I have 4 of these upward firing, not on a wall. Surrounds are at 135 degrees and I get extensive Atmos 180 degress directly behind me for many movie scenes. They're worth the upgrade. The entire R line is 40-50% better than the Q series in every aspect but will will pay a price for it.
