Description
The Ci130.2 CR is a 2-way ceiling-mounted speaker, designed by KEF for discreet installation in a listening room. Its reduced mounting depth allows it to be installed in configurations where other models in this category would not fit.
It relies on KEF's Uni-Q technology, which places the 19 mm aluminium dome tweeter at the centre of the 130 mm polypropylene woofer/midrange cone: the two elements then behave as a single point source, which promotes more uniform sound dispersion within the room. The crossover frequency is set at 2.8 kHz, with a stated frequency response of 52 Hz to 20 kHz. Its sensitivity of 87 dB (2.83 V/1 m) and rated power handling of 80 W allow it to be paired with an amplifier or a multiroom amplifier of moderate power. Its marine-grade treatment protects it from moisture and UV, an advantage for installation in a damp room or near a source of natural light.
This model is aimed at those who want discreet built-in sound diffusion in a living room, kitchen or living space, without making a marked compromise on spectral coherence thanks to the Uni-Q coaxial principle. Its slim contours and flat grille also make it a suitable choice for unobtrusive architectural integration.

What to check before buying used
On a ceiling-mounted speaker such as the Ci130.2 CR, attention should be paid to the condition of the polypropylene woofer/midrange cone and the tweeter dome, which can become deformed or punctured over time or through mishandling during removal. Also check that the flat grille is not warped or cracked, and that the spring or claw mounting system remains functional for stable ceiling installation. A continuity check of the voice coil ensures the speaker responds correctly without crackling or dropouts.
