KEF Ci130QR In-Ceiling Speaker

KEF Ci130QR In-Ceiling Speaker with Uni-Q Driver Array

The KEF Ci130QR is a premium 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 0.75” (19mm) 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 coverage across a wide listening area. The KEF Ci130QR is constructed using weather resistant components and the Ultra-Thin Bezel and grille are treated with a UV protective finish making this speaker ideal for hi-fidelity applications in premium commercial venues such as luxury hotels, conference centres, and restaurants as well as for stereo and home theatre use in the home.

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 wider listening area.

Tangerine Waveguide

In addition to protecting the driver, the Tangerine Waveguide further enhances dispersion allowing for 130 degrees of coverage

Weather Resistant

Manufactured using a proprietary plating and powder coating process, the KEF Ci130QR 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.

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 Ci130QR is one of those in-ceiling speakers that makes you forget you’re listening to “just” an install speaker - it’s smooth, refined, and surprisingly powerful for its size. Thanks to KEF’s clever Uni-Q® technology, with the tweeter placed right at the acoustic centre of the woofer, the sound spreads evenly across the room so everyone gets the same clear, natural experience no matter where they’re sitting. Add in the Tangerine Waveguide, which boosts high frequency dispersion to an impressive 130 degrees, and you’ve got coverage that feels effortless and consistent. Built tough with weather-resistant materials, UV protection, and an ultra-thin bezel that blends discreetly into ceilings, it’s as practical as it is premium - whether you’re fitting out a luxury hotel lobby, a restaurant, or just your own living room for a home theatre setup that doesn’t compromise on fidelity or style.
