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.
- 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.

The mid-sized floorstanding member of the R Series is as powerful as it is flexible. Its 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT ensures a crystal-clear performance with music and movies alike, while its two 6.5” hybrid aluminium bass drivers deliver accurate, dynamic bass. At the heart of the R Series is Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), a revolutionary innovation that takes the performance of the 12th generation Uni-Q driver array to another level in terms of accuracy and clarity.
705 S3 is our ultimate 700 Series bookshelf speaker, a no-holds-barred celebration of excellence able to highlight all the subtle nuances in your music that other speakers miss. Its Carbon Dome tweeter is housed in a redesigned Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top enclosure used in 800 Series Diamond products. That joins a subtly curved baffle endowed with a ‘pod’ housing for its Continuum Cone bass/midrange driver, ensuring that you hear less of the speaker’s cabinet, and more of the music you love.

R8 Meta Dolby Atmos Module Speakers
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.
