- Quality of the measurement data is medium.
- Origin of the data is KEF.
- Format of the data is .
-
Sensitivity:
- Measured: 86.8 dB (avg. 300Hz-3kHz for 2.83V measured at 1m).
- -3dB (resp. -6db) point v.s. reference is at 42.2Hz (resp. 35.3Hz).
- Reference level is normalised to 0.8dB computed over the frequency range [300.0Hz, 5000.0Hz].
- Frequency deviation is 1.4dB over the same frequency range.
- Tonality (Preference) Score
- Tonality (Preference) Score is 6.69
and would be 8.31 with a
perfect subwoofer.
- Details: NBD: ON 0.321, LW 0.251, SP 0.331, PIR 0.262; SM: SP0.97, PIR0.952; LFQ 1.034, LFX 34Hz
- Tonality (Preference) Score is 7.17
with an EQ and would be 8.63 with a
perfect subwoofer and the same EQ.
- Details: NBD: ON 0.282, LW 0.199, SP 0.262, PIR 0.195; SM: SP0.977, PIR0.962; LFQ 0.861, LFX 31Hz
- Tonality (Preference) Score is 6.69
and would be 8.31 with a
perfect subwoofer.
- Note: the off-axis average curves are truncated at 200Hz as this is close to the LF cut-off limit of our anechoic chamber. The on-axis LF response has been compensated using ground plane measurements carried out in free-field and is therefore valid only for that singular curve..
KEF Reference 3 Meta is a passive floorstanders that cost around 13500 USD for a pair.
