Information Sheet

The quality of a speaker is no less important just because it’s out of sight - in fact, with ceiling-mounted units, it can be more so. Designed to smoothly integrate and architecturally match with existing downlighting sharing the same size bezel, KEF’s trademark Uni-Q®technology has a decisive performance advantage in these applications, because each point source

driver array evenly disperses the sound, ensuring a smooth frequency response over a large area to create a spacious three-dimensional soundscape with genuine texture and depth.

With a Uni-Q array of 80mm (3”), the Ci80QR is as satisfyingly musical to hear as it is neat in appearance.
