Product Description
The KEF CI200ER is a 2-way flush-mount speaker designed for ceiling or wall installations with a focus on professional sound quality and superior power. If you are looking for a flush-mount speaker with KEF's Uni-Q technology, a larger driver size, and reference-grade sound, this is your ideal speaker.
Powerful 2-Way Flush-Mount Design
Clean Installation
The CI200ER is specifically designed to be mounted into ceilings or walls, providing a clean and discreet installation. The Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB) integrates perfectly into any space.
Higher Power than CI160ER
With an 8" Uni-Q driver and a recommended amplifier of up to 125W (vs. 100W for the CI160ER), the CI200ER provides greater power and deeper bass.
KEF Uni-Q Technology
Advanced 8" Uni-Q Driver
The 8" (200mm) Uni-Q driver places the tweeter in the center of the mid/bass driver. This creates a coherent sound source that provides exceptional stereo imaging and excellent off-axis dispersion, even when installed in the ceiling.
Wide Dispersion
The Uni-Q configuration allows you to hear quality sound from multiple listening positions, ideal for open rooms and spaces with multiple listeners.
Professional Quality Drivers
8-Inch Uni-Q Woofer
The 8" (200mm) woofer provides controlled and precise bass and midrange reproduction. The larger size allows for a deeper bass range and superior sound pressure.
0.6-Inch Uni-Q Tweeter
The 0.6" (16mm) tweeter integrated into the Uni-Q array provides clear, detailed, and precise high frequencies.
Professional Frequency Range
Extended Response
The frequency range is 45 Hz to 20 kHz (±6 dB) in an open configuration, providing an extended response of the human audible range with deeper bass than the CI160ER.
Deep Bass
The bass response, extended down to 45 Hz, allows you to enjoy the depth and impact of the music without sacrificing the clarity of the mids and highs.
High Sensitivity
90 dB Sensitivity
The 90 dB sensitivity (2.83V/1m) is highly efficient, allowing it to work well with amplifiers of modest power.
Flexible Amplifier Requirements
The amplifier requirements are 10 to 125 watts, providing flexibility to use anything from compact integrated amplifiers to powerful dedicated power amplifiers.
8 Ohm Nominal Impedance
Wide Compatibility
The 8 ohm nominal impedance is compatible with most amplifiers and AV receivers, providing maximum amplification flexibility.
Ultra-Thin Design (UTB)
Discreet Installation
The Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB) technology allows the speaker to integrate almost invisibly into ceilings and walls. The design is practically imperceptible once installed.
Paintable Finish
The bezel is paintable, allowing you to paint it the same color as your ceiling or wall for seamless visual integration.
Weather-Resistant Construction
Professional Durability
The CI200ER is built to weather-resistant construction standards. The grilles are coated through a proprietary process, and the speaker can be used indoors and outdoors.
Magnetic Grille
The magnetic grille facilitates installation and maintenance.
