KEF new Custom Installation speaker Ci9000ACE
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 165 mm 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. 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. Suggested retail price is expected to be around £600 (EUR 880) each.
The in-wall Ci Series 9000ACE from KEF is a innovative new advance into custom installed loudspeakers. The 165mm (61⁄2″) 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.
