Warning
Installation should be performed by an installer who is skilled in the proper use of hand and power tools, knowledge of local building and fire codes, and who is familiar with the environment behind the wall or ceiling where the speaker is being installed. No attempt should be made to install these loudspeakers unless you are sure you will not be cutting through electric cables, water or gas pipes, or supporting joists. Ensure the loading on the wall or ceiling will support the weight of these assemblies.

Architectural Speaker
Product Overview
The KEF Ci200ER is a high performance speaker designed for in-ceiling and
flush mount installations. It’s a coincident point source design featuring
KEF’s proprietary “sit-anywhere” Uni-Q® technology with a driver array that
includes a 16mm high frequency aluminium tweeter mounted in the acoustic
centre of the 200mm low frequency woofer. The Ci200ER meets IP64 certification
requirements and is specifically engineered to deliver exceptional acoustic
performance in a value oriented package. The ABS assembly, Ultra-Thin Bezel
and grille, are UV protected to withstand continued operation in direct
sunlight. The KEF Ci200ER is the ideal choice for foreground, background, and
announcement applications in hotels, convention centres, and other commercial
venues.
Key Features
KEF “Sit-anywhere” Uni-Q® Technology – This proprietary driver array places
the tweeter in the acoustic centre of the woofer delivering wide dispersion
with consistent sound characteristics throughout the space. Because the high
and low frequencies originate from the same point, acoustic lobing problems
common to other speaker designs are virtually eliminated allowing fewer
speakers to deliver smooth coverage across a wide listening area.
Weather Resistant – Manufactured using a proprietary plating and powder
coating process, the KEF Ci200ER is UV protected and designed to withstand the
harshest operating environments.
Magnetic Grille – For security and ease of installation the grille attaches by
a powerful magnetic circuit and can be painted to match any décor.
Universal cut-out – All KEF 200mm round in-ceiling speakers utilise the same
diameter opening for ease of installation and flexible component selection.
IP64 Certification – The speaker passed official IEC testing to ensure that
splashing water would have no harmful effects on assembly components.
Architect and Engineer Specifications
The speaker shall be designed for in-ceiling and flush mount installations and
utilise a coincident point source design with the high frequency tweeter
mounted in the centre of the low frequency woofer.
The speaker shall consist of a 200mm low frequency woofer and a 16mm aluminium
dome high frequency tweeter mounted in a UV protected ABS baffle with a
paintable bezel of no more than 5mm in width. The grille shall also be
paintable, include a paint shield, and attach by a powerful magnetic circuit
for ease of installation and security. The speaker design shall be open back
and deliver a minimum frequency response of 45Hz-20kHz +/- 6 dB. The speaker
shall not weigh more than 1.6kg.
The nominal impedance of the speaker shall be 8 ohms and it must achieve a
minimum pressure sensitivity of 90 dB SPL at 1 meter on-axis with an input of
2.83 volts. The crossover frequency between the woofer and tweeter shall be
2.8kHz. The speaker shall meet numerous safety and performance standards
listed by regulatory bodies around the world.
The speaker shall be the KEF Ci200ER.
