[See another image about this article] The specific prices are as follows. The finish is a combination of three types of cabinet finish and five types of drive unit colors. 3 -way floor stand type, "Reference 5 Meta" 2,618,000 yen (pair), "Reference 3 Meta" 1,958,000 yen (pair) 3 -way bookshelf type ・ “Reference 1 META” 1,089,000 yen (pair) 3 -way center speaker・ “Reference 4 Meta” 1,122,000 yen (1 unit) ・ “Reference 2 META” 880,000 yen (1 unit) The standard value managed by the lab and 0.A new model of the "THE REFERENCE" series named because there are only errors within 5db. The 12th generation UNI-Q driver, which has a complicated maze-like structure and reduces unnecessary sounds from the back of the driver, has introduced the "MAT" of the sound absorbing technology. "It is possible to regenerate beautiful, clear and lyrical treble, regardless of volume." The ultra -low -distortion new design midrange voice coil has reduced the mid -range hyperonic distortion, reduces thermal compression, and improves efficiency. The contours of midrange horns and surround are all optimized on computers. KEF's patented tangerine wave guide technology manages the flow of air to reproduce the natural sound field and uniform spread. The base driver uses a huge vent with a magnet assembly, a large aluminum voice coil, and a lightweight and rigid alloy cone. A clean, rich and clear bass playback is also realized. The cabinet adopts an ideal shape and bracing shape to minimize secondary radiation from the side by finite element analysis. In order to turn a slight vibration into heat, a restrained descending material using a vibration -controlled material is also used. Finished with rich and pair matching wood, enhance the characteristic front baffle designed to eliminate abnormalities due to diffraction effects.
