For music or movies, your installation needs to deliver the flawlessly accurate three-dimensional sound you’d expect from the best conventional speakers – startlingly clear and breathtakingly realistic. And that’s exactly what our Ci range does.
KEF’s passion for acoustic excellence shines through in every model. By combining radically innovative engineering with sophisticated design technologies, the Ci range achieves what used to be thought impossible: compact custom installation speakers that sound as compelling as an audiophile quality hi-fi system, no matter where you sit.
With impeccable cosmetics, there’s a KEF Ci model for every application, from tiny ceiling speakers the size of downlights to motorised super-premium home theatre speakers that glide into place at the touch of a button. All are ruggedised for harsh environments such as bathrooms or boats.
All KEF speakers are sonically-matched, so any combination you specify for different listening areas will have the same tonal colour for a perfectly consistent soundstage.
Fast, easy installation has always been valued by Ci Series installers. With only a few simple steps and KEF’s unique design features, Ci speakers can be fitted quickly, with no special skills. Once the hole is cut and the cable run, the area is soon flo
Combining durability, reliability and UL certification with KEF’s undisputed audio pedigree and consistent, high quality performance, the Ci Commercial Series is an outstanding in-ceiling speaker line-up for project work of all types.
Key features
• Integral fire-rated metal rear enclosure • UL2043-approved for use in air handling spaces • UL1480-5-approved for use in fire protection signalling systems • Front-mounted switch for selecting 8 ohm or 70/100 volt operation • Includes the hardware for mounting above a suspended ceiling or in a hard ceiling
Reproducing lower frequencies with confident accuracy is critical for achieving a satisfyingly full-bodied sound in public spaces, and with the dedicated long-throw 160mm (6.5in.) bass driver from KEF’s renowned iQ range, the Ci160ST delivers gloriously extended, articulate and distortion-free bass. The tonal match is perfect with the rest of the new Ci Commercial Series, which are designed specifically for foreground music and music/paging applications in retail, commercial and hospitality environments. With back can, 70V/100V multi-tap transformers for distributed line systems and UL2043 safety approval for use in plenum spaces and UL1480-5 for fire protection signalling systems, it meets every requirement for interior use. The bezels and grilles can of course be finished to blend unobtrusively with the décor –and with KEF’s ingeniously simple fixing system, the units are exceptionally easy for the contractor to install. The Ci160ST is supplied with a C-ring mounting bracket and tile hanger for use in suspended ceilings. Like all KEF loudspeakers, this formidably competent subwoofer is built to KEF’s traditional high standards for reliable long term use.
