You'll need an amplifier
These are passive speakers, so they need an amplifier to power them (8Ω, 10–125W recommended). Either of these will drive a pair and stream music from your phone.
Need a fire hood?
If the ceiling has a bedroom or other living space above it, or is part of an escape route, building regulations require each speaker to have a fire hood. Hoods also cut sound leaking into the room above.
Need speaker cable?
Allow about 10m per speaker for a typical run back to the amplifier (this listing is a pair). Webro 16/2 LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) is the right cable for runs in ceilings and walls.
The KEF Ci200ER is the flagship 8" model in KEF's Ci-E ceiling speaker range, built for larger living rooms, open-plan kitchens, and commercial spaces that demand powerful, high-fidelity sound without a visible speaker footprint. Sold as a pair, it combines serious low-end output with KEF's renowned Uni-Q driver array for a genuinely immersive listening experience from virtually anywhere in the room.
Why we like it
- 8" low-frequency driver delivers deep, authoritative bass for larger spaces
- Uni-Q driver array places the tweeter at the acoustic centre of the woofer for consistent sound dispersion
- Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB) trim sits almost flush with the ceiling for a discreet finish
- Weather-resistant build suits moisture-prone rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms
- Magnetic, paintable grille can be colour-matched to any ceiling
Installation notes
Each speaker requires a 240mm cut-out and a mounting depth of approximately 97.2mm, with overall dimensions of 289.6mm diameter x 103.3mm deep. Ceiling thickness should be between 6mm and 37mm. With an 8 Ohm impedance and recommended amplifier power of 10-125W, the Ci200ER pairs well with multi-room amplifiers such as the Sonos Amp or a WiiM Amp for streaming-based installations.

Questions we get asked
Does it come with a grille?
Yes. Every ceiling and in-wall speaker we sell comes with its grille in the box. Manufacturer photos often show the speaker with the grille removed so you can see the drivers, but the grille is always included.
Will it fit my ceiling?
You'll need a 240mm cut-out and at least 97mm of depth behind the ceiling surface. The visible trim is 290mm across. Standard plasterboard ceilings with joists are usually fine; check for pipes, cables and insulation before cutting. Not sure? Send us a photo or plan and we'll check it for you.
Do I need an amplifier?
Yes. These are passive speakers, so they need an amplifier or AV receiver to drive them. They're rated at 8Ω with 10–125W recommended amplifier power. For most rooms a Sonos Amp or WiiM Amp is ideal: each drives a pair and streams from your phone. You can also buy a package with the amp included and save 5%.
Do I need a fire hood?
If there's a habitable room above (for example a bedroom), or the ceiling forms part of a fire escape route, Building Regulations require each speaker to be fire-rated, usually with a fire hood fitted over the back. The hood that fits this speaker is shown above, next to Add to cart. Hoods also cut sound travelling to the room above. See all fire hoods.
How many speakers do I need?
As a rule of thumb: a pair for most bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms up to about 20m², two pairs for large open-plan spaces, and a single stereo speaker (T2 / stereo models) for small rooms like en-suites. For home cinema, use 5 or 7 speakers plus a subwoofer. Our free design service will plan positions and sizes from your floorplan.
Is it sold singly or as a pair?
This listing is for a pair of speakers.
