Every model in the KEF Ci range is backed by our 50 years’ experience in researching and designing premium products. Even when creating speakers that can be hidden, we aim for outstanding sound.

The Ci Series combines advanced audio technologies, brilliantly innovative engineering and superlative design. Each model is engineered to attain the ultimate performance in its specific setting, and integrates perfectly with other KEF speakers.

Whether you seek powerful wall-mounted speakers, ceiling-mounted speakers that blend with light fittings, or speakers that only appear when called for, you can find models to suit your needs in the KEF Ci Series.

Ci9000ACE

The in-wall Ci Series 9000ACE from KEF is a innovative new advance into custom installed loudspeakers. The 165mm (6.5in.) Uni-Q® driver array brings out the full emotional depth and texture of vocals, whether sung, shouted, spoken or whispered - hardly surprising, since it’s exactly the same unit as you’ll find on the XQ series. On either side, a matching pair of long throw bass drivers with ultra-low distortion motors for low frequency response that’s as lucid as it is gutsy - and thanks to KEF’s Acoustic Compliance Enhancement technology, (ACE) what you actually hear is a level of bass extension that’s normally only obtainable with much larger speakers.

Ci Series 9000ACE comes with two grille options: The pictured black cloth covered grille and a white overhanging grille. A grille for painting or covering is also available.
