Ci160MR / Ci200MR
Ar
chitectural Speakers
Product Overview
The KEF Ci160MR & Ci200MR are high performance speakers
designed for in-ceiling and flush mount installations. They use 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 160mm or 200mm low frequency woofer. The
tweeter features KEF’s Tangerine Waveguide engineered to
enhance high frequency dispersion and when combined with the
Uni-Q array, creates a speaker that delivers exceptionally smooth
and consistent sound across a wide listening area. Both meet IP64
certification requirements and are specifically engineered to deliver
exceptional acoustic performance in a value oriented package.
The ABS assembly, Ultra-Thin Bezel and grille, are UV protected.
The KEF Ci160MR and Ci200MR are the ideal choice for whole
house music, foreground, background, Home Theater and Dolby
Atmos applications.
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 grille
plating and powder coating process, the KEF Ci160MR and
Ci200MR are 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 160mm or CI200mm round in-
ceiling speakers utilise the same diameter openings 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 Ci160MR speaker shall consist of a 160mm low
frequency woofer and a 16mm aluminium dome high
frequency tweeter, and the Ci200MR 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
52Hz-20kHz +/- 6 dB. The speaker shall not weigh more
than 1.4kg.
The nominal impedance of the speaker shall be 8 ohms and it
must achieve a minimum pressure sensitivity of 89 dB SPL
(Ci160MR) or 90 dB SPL (Ci200MR) 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 Ci160MR or the Ci200MR.
