Part of KEF's Ci-E series, the Ci130ER in-ceiling speakers incorporate KEF's renowned Uni-QRegistered driver array and Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB) technology to provide immersive sound with minimal visual impact. Designed for discreet ceiling installation, the Ci130ER speakers are ideal for background music or home theatre zones, including moisture-prone areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.
The Ci130ER features KEF's patented Uni-QRegistered technology, which places the tweeter at the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone. This design disperses sound more evenly, so you enjoy balanced, detailed audio no matter where you sit in the room. Its UTB? (Ultra-Thin Bezel) frame and magnetic grille allow for a near-invisible finish that can be painted to blend into any décor. With weather-resistant construction, including UV-protected plastics and moisture-resistant terminations, the Ci130ER is built for longevity in demanding environments.
