KEF Ci200ER In-Ceiling Speaker

Sound Performance

• Uni-Q Driver Array: KEF’s signature technology places the tweeter in the center of the mid-bass driver. This configuration (called Uni-Q) aims to create a more uniform and dispersed sound throughout the listening area.
• Wide Frequency Response: The Ci200ER delivers a frequency range of 45Hz to 20kHz, which means it can reproduce deep bass tones up to the high frequencies audible to humans.
• Power Handling: The speaker can handle recommended amplifier power between 10 watts and 125 watts.

Design and Build

• Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB): A hallmark of the Ci200ER is its minimal footprint. The KEF Ci200ER utilizes KEF’s UTB technology, resulting in a narrow rim around the speaker grille for a more seamless integration into your ceiling.
• Weather Resistant: The Ci200ER is built to withstand moisture and humidity, making it suitable for use in bathrooms, kitchens, or even outdoor patios (in covered locations).
• Paintable Grille: The magnetic grille can be painted to match your ceiling for an even more inconspicuous look.

Installation

• Cut-Out Dimensions: The Ci200ER requires a cut-out hole of 9.45 inches (240mm) in diameter for installation.
• Mounting Depth: The speaker has a mounting depth of 3.83 inches (97.2mm) from the ceiling surface.
• Minimum and Maximum Ceiling Thickness: The Ci200ER can be installed in ceilings between 0.24 inches (6mm) and 1.46 inches (37mm) thick.

Overall, the KEF Ci200ER is a good option for those seeking a high-fidelity in-ceiling speaker that offers a balance of performance and aesthetics.
