R8a Dolby Atmos-enabled Speaker

KEF R8a Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers sit above your existing front and rear floorstanding or bookshelf home theatre speakers. Knowing how the brain perceives sound, KEF engineers have perfected a way of beaming the sound upwards so it reflects off the ceiling to replicate the vertical dimension in Dolby Atmos recordings. Integrating perfectly with our R Series, Q Series and Reference Series aesthetically as well as sonically, the closed-box design of the R8a features KEF's 12th generation Uni-Q driver array. With a sophisticated 25 mm (1-in.) tweeter at the centre of a 130 mm (5-in.) bass/mid-driver and KEF’s ‘tangerine’ waveguide to maximise dispersion, it has excellent dynamics with accurate, fast and clean midrange response. And as the speaker footprint is the same, no more space is required.

Performance redefined. An icon born from The Reference.
Originally designed for KEF's acclaimed product, The Reference, a range of state-of-the-art technologies has smoothly made its way into the succeeding version of the R Series. Whether utilised in a stereo setup for music aficionados or integrated into a home theatre system, the R Series guarantees that exceptional acoustic quality is achievable by a broader spectrum of people. With the groundbreaking integration of Metamaterial Absorption Technology, the R Series introduces unmatched complexity and deep insight—a experience that is unquestionably deserving of appreciation.

Innovation

R Series: Born from The Reference
Starting in 1961, KEF has consistently strived for the attainment of impeccable sound, leading to numerous revolutionary advancements in the field of acoustics. An outstanding illustration of this dedication can be seen in The Reference. By distilling decades of knowledge into an acoustic showcase that surpasses every anticipation, this design consistently sets the benchmark for speakers and sound reproduction. At present, the latest strides in technology have seamlessly become part of the R Series as well.

Uni-Q®, Sit anywhere, hear every detail
Across the entire lineup of the R Series, you'll encounter a 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array enriched with MAT™ technology. The Uni-Q® configuration serves as a central focal point, efficiently dispersing sound in a more consistent way across the environment. This result effectively eliminates the concept of a limited 'sweet spot,' allowing anyone situated anywhere in the room to enjoy the same authentic and intricately nuanced auditory experience.

KEF Reference Series
A Flare for Detail
Evolved from The Reference series, Shadow Flare embodies a creative remedy aimed at minimising the negative impacts of high-frequency cabinet diffraction. This ingenious method entails a precisely shaped transformation that extends the waveguide characteristics of Uni-Q®. This permits the high-frequency sounds to naturally spread out, while the designated 'shadow region' intercepts their contact with the cabinet edges. The outcome of this inventive approach is a significant boost in the clarity of delicate nuances, resulting in markedly improved precision in reproducing audio intricacies.

Strength and versatility in numbers
The R Series presents a selection of floorstanding speakers, bookshelf speakers, centre channel speakers, and complementary home theatre models. Every option delivers KEF's highest level of sound quality within its respective category, regardless of room size or system arrangement.

Stereo for Music
Within the R Series, you'll find three floorstanding speakers and a bookshelf speaker designed to faithfully reproduce high-fidelity stereo sound for your beloved music. Uncover depths and intricacies that were previously hidden – from the subtle sound of a guitar pick against strings to the emotional ambiance of a live performance.

Beautiful by design
Guided solely by the principles of acoustics, within KEF, we hold the belief that there's an inherent elegance even in the inner engineering details. The R Series is meticulously crafted to possess external beauty, while these precisely calibrated mechanisms are safeguarded by a sleek exterior intentionally designed to harmonise seamlessly and gracefully with any interior design, be it classic, contemporary, or modern.
