You'll need an amplifier
These are passive speakers, so they need an amplifier to power them (8Ω, 10–150W 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. Webro 16/2 LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) is the right cable for runs in ceilings and walls.
The KEF Ci200QR is a premium 8" in-ceiling speaker built for anyone wanting genuinely high-fidelity sound without a visible speaker footprint. It suits living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and multi-room installations where performance and discretion both matter, and its robust, weather-resistant build makes it equally at home in commercial spaces such as shops, offices and restaurants.
Why we like it
- KEF's patented Uni-Q driver array positions the tweeter at the acoustic centre of the woofer for remarkably even dispersion
- Tangerine Waveguide technology widens the soundstage and sharpens high-frequency detail
- Ultra-Thin Bezel design virtually disappears into the ceiling once installed
- IP64 rating means it copes with moisture and dust, so bathrooms and sheltered outdoor areas are no problem
- Magnetic, paintable grille allows a perfect colour match to any ceiling
Installation notes
The Ci200QR requires a 240mm cut-out and a mounting depth of 103.3mm, with an overall diameter of 289.6mm, so check loft or ceiling void clearance before installing. For multi-room or background music setups, it pairs well with a Sonos Amp or WiiM Amp, both of which comfortably drive its 8-ohm load within the speaker's 10-150W handling range. Optional rough-in frame (RIF200R) and rear enclosure (RNC200R) accessories are available for new-build or acoustic isolation installs.

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 103mm 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 10–150W 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?
Priced per speaker. Add the quantity you need; multi-buy discounts are applied automatically in your basket.
