KEF CI3-80QT Speaker
Manufacturer's Description
The most elegant design solution to the perennial problem of where to place the all-important front speakers in a high-end home Theater installation, the motorised Ci3-80QT purrs down into position from the ceiling. With a 75mm (3") Uni-Q(R) array flanked by a pair of long-throw bass drivers of the same size, it combines Uni-Q`s exceptionally wide dispersion characteristics with fluent and accurate response right across the frequency range.
Whispered or shouted, on-screen dialogue and vocals become transparently clear, subtly nuanced and as perfectly located as the speakers themselves.
Features and Benefits Purpose built for flush mounting into ceilings the Ci3-80QT is the latest addition to the KEF Uni-Q Custom Installation series. The 3-way, Ci3-80QT combines 100W power handling and 87dB sensitivity and consists of a polypropylene cone LF driver with the HF unit mounted between two matched size LF units.
Will require an additional 12 volt supply.
The bezel and grill can be painted to match the interior décor.
