UK - KEF has announced the addition of two new speakers to the brand's Custom Installation Series. Models Ci3-80QT and Ci9000ACE, both now available, boast individual technical features and user benefits and, say the company, "in keeping with KEF's reputation in the Custom Installation market, deliver sonic qualities that set them apart from the rest of the field".

The Ci3-80QT is a quiet, motorised 3-way, 4-driver system, incorporating KEF's 75mm Uni-Q drive-unit array, along with two 75mm LF units in a sealed enclosure. Finished in white and mounted in a rectangular flush baffle, the Ci3-80QT is designed for in-ceiling applications and, say KEF, "represents the finest solution for those wanting unobtrusive, neat and ultra-quiet retractable custom installation speakers".

KEF's new Custom Installation Series flagship model Ci9000ACE brings the company's patented ACE technology to in-wall speaker systems. Utilizing 165 mm MF and 19mm HF drivers mounted in a Uni-Q array and two 165mm LF units in a sealed enclosure, the Ci9000ACE provides outstanding sound quality, with notably extended frequency response from the LF units, thanks to ACE technology, say the company.

The proud brushed aluminium front baffle comes supplied with three grille options; white grille assembly overhanging front baffle, black grille assembly inset from front baffle and paint-able white steel grille overhanging front baffle.
