KEF Ci130.2CS In-Wall Speaker

KEF Ci130.2CS In-Wall Speaker with Uni-Q® Driver Array

The KEF Ci130.2CS is a high performance shallow mount speaker designed for flush mount installations where a square shaped assembly is preferred. It’s a coincident point source design featuring KEF’s proprietary Uni-Q® technology with a driver array that includes a 0.6” (16mm) high frequency aluminium dome tweeter mounted in the acoustic centre of the 5.25” (133mm) 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.

The KEF Ci130.2CS is constructed using weather resistant components and the Ultra-Thin Bezel and Grille are treated with a UV protective coating making this speaker ideal for background, foreground, and announcement applications in indoor and outdoor venues such as hotel rooms, corridors and school hallways.

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 lobbing problems common to other speaker designs are virtually eliminated allowing fewer speakers to deliver smooth coverage across a wide listening area.

Tangerine Waveguide

In addition to protecting the driver, the Tangerine Waveguide further enhances dispersion allowing for 140 degrees of coverage.

Weather Resistant

Manufactured using a proprietary plating and powder coating process, the KEF Ci130.2CS is UV protected and designed to withstand the harshest operating environments.

Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB)

To maintain a premium aesthetic appearance, the ABS bezel was carefully engineered to be as thin as possible while maintaining the necessary structural rigidity.

Magnetic Grille

For security and ease of installation the grille attaches by a powerful magnetic circuit and can be painted to match any décor.

Covered Crossover Circuit

The cover adds structural rigidity to the speaker assembly while protecting the electrical crossover components from potential damage.

IP64 Certification

The speaker passed official IEC testing to ensure that splashing water would have no harmful effects on assembly components.

Our Review

The KEF Ci130.2CS is one of those quietly impressive in-wall speakers that blends serious audio engineering with an effortlessly refined design. Built around KEF’s clever “sit-anywhere” Uni-Q® driver array, it delivers beautifully consistent, wide-dispersion sound that feels rich and natural no matter where you’re standing. The 5.25” woofer and 0.6” aluminium dome tweeter work in perfect harmony, enhanced by the Tangerine Waveguide for crisp, even highs across the room. It’s not just about sound though - this speaker is built to last, with weather-resistant materials, UV protection, and an IP64 rating that make it equally at home indoors or out. Add in the ultra-thin magnetic grille that practically disappears into your wall, and you’ve got a sleek, durable, and seriously capable performer that brings premium audio to any space.
