KEF Ci130.2CS Square In-Ceiling Speaker

🧾 Overview

The KEF Ci130.2CS is a high-performance, shallow-mount square architectural speaker designed for flush in-ceiling (or discreet in-wall) installation. Using KEF’s Uni-Q point-source driver array, it delivers wide, even dispersion with clean, consistent tonality—ideal for music, multi-room audio, and cinema surround/height channels where space is limited.

✅ Key Features

✅ Uni-Q point-source driver array for wide, coherent “sit-anywhere” dispersion
✅ Shallow mounting depth for installations where many speakers simply won’t fit
✅ Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB) design for a near-invisible finish after installation
✅ Paintable magnetic grille for fast fitment and a clean, secure hold
✅ Weather-resistant construction with IP64 certification for humid or semi-exposed areas
✅ Tangerine Waveguide for improved high-frequency dispersion and smoother off-axis response
✅ Optional rear enclosure support for more controlled acoustic performance in challenging cavities

⚠️ Warning

⚠️ Warning: Installing these flush in your ceiling may trigger an irreversible urge to “hide every speaker in the house,” followed by late-night searches for matching subwoofers and laser levels. Proceed responsibly.
