The slim and elegant R5 Meta is compact, but it is more than capable of delivering detailed sound and deep, clean bass. It boasts the 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT and two 5.25” hybrid aluminum bass drivers. It can work as a stereo pair or as surround speakers as part of an R Series home theatre system.

  • 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: A feature designed for The Reference. It reduces harmful cabinet diffraction, allowing 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: A trio of floorstanding speakers and a bookshelf speaker reproduce high-fidelity stereo sound for your favourite music irrespective of the dimensions of the listening space. Each of them will allow you to discover depth and detail in your music you never knew existed.
