It's really simple, the resonators are simply a half wavelength long.
IE: if you have a tweeter with an impedance peak at 1000Hz, then create a series of resonators that are spread out about an octave BELOW the impedance peak and an octave above. The metamaterial is largely there to nullify the impedance peak, similar to what B&W did with it's "Nautilus" speakers.
There's a dude on Facebook who dug up a patent from a speaker from the 1980s that lays out how the metamaterial thing works in layman's terms.
The only real difference between the 40 year old patent and what Kef is doing is that:
1) Kef has a plethora of transmission lines in their metamaterial
2) The folding of the Kef transmission lines is way more complex.
But otherwise? Same idea.
One interesting thing that I realized from tinkering with these, is that they don't seem to have any effect on planar tweeters. That's what led me to speculate that the reason they work so well is because conventional drivers have a big ol' impedance peak.
If I'm right, then compression drivers would be especially good candidates for metamaterials.
Kinda surprised that Celestion hasn't jumped on the bandwagon, considering that Kef is next door and they have the same owners.
But anyways, yeah, give these a try. You can design one in 3D in about 2-4 hours and I can't think of anything that will make a tweeter sound better for two bucks worth of plastic.
