Round in-ceiling speaker with 200 mm Uni-Q® driver
The KEF Ci200ER is a round two-way in-ceiling speaker from the Ci-E series, designed to offer reference KEF audio quality at exceptional value, with the same build standards as the British brand's entire architectural range. Sold as a pair, it features a 200 mm (8") woofer with a 16 mm (0.6") aluminium dome tweeter in a Uni-Q® configuration, for a frequency response from 45 Hz to 20 kHz. The Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB) and the paintable magnetic grille ensure discreet visual integration, while the Weather Resistant construction makes it suitable for environments exposed to humidity and UV rays as well, such as bathrooms and kitchens. The optional RIF200R pre-installation frame and the optional RNC200R rear enclosure complete the installation options.
Uni-Q®: uncompromising KEF quality at every listening position
The 200 mm Uni-Q® driver places the 16 mm aluminium dome tweeter exactly at the acoustic centre of the woofer, so that the two act as a single point source. KEF's "sit anywhere" technology eliminates the narrow sweet spot typical of conventional speakers, allowing every listener to hear the sound with full clarity and fidelity regardless of their position in the room — a fundamental feature for installations in large rooms where the pair of speakers has to cover varying listening zones.
8-inch woofer, response down to 45 Hz and sensitivity of 90 dB
With a sensitivity of 90 dB, a response that reaches down to 45 Hz and compatibility with amplifiers from 10 to 125 W into 8 Ω, the Ci200ER offers low-frequency performance and dynamics that are hard to match in the price bracket of the Ci-E series. The 200 mm woofer delivers a sound pressure level and bass extension typically reserved for speakers of a higher category, making this model the preferred choice for living rooms, home theatre rooms and large spaces.
Flexible installation with dedicated accessories
With an external diameter of 289.6 mm and a depth of 103.3 mm, the Ci200ER requires a cut-out of 240 mm in diameter and suits ceilings with a thickness from 6 to 37 mm. The mounting depth from the surface is 97.2 mm. The optional RIF200R pre-installation frame simplifies fitting during the construction phase, while the optional RNC200R rear enclosure improves low-frequency response and acoustic isolation from the cavity.
Reference performance at the value of the Ci-E series
The Ci200ER is the largest-format model in the KEF Ci-E series, intended for those looking for KEF's reference technologies — Uni-Q®, Ultra-Thin Bezel and Weather Resistant construction — on exceptionally accessible terms. Sold as a pair, it is the ideal solution for residential and commercial installations where an 8-inch woofer is needed to cover large rooms with full sonic authority, while maintaining the visual discretion that distinguishes the entire KEF architectural range.
