Product Overview
The KEF Ci50R Soundlight is a discrete application ush mount
speaker designed to simulate the appearance of conventional
2 inch low voltage lighting systems. The speaker driver is only
50mm in diameter yet powerful enough to ll spaces with
superbly balanced sound and clear vocals. The Ci50R is available
with white, chrome, brass or brushed steel bezels to match
most common low voltage lighting systems and installs quickly
with the use of self-tensioning brackets. Engineered to be
discrete, the Ci50R leverages KEF’s acoustic expertise to deliver
an audio experience suitable for high quality background music
and voice announcements in common multi-room systems,
lounges, retail stores, and boardrooms.
