KEF CI4100QL-THX LCR In-Wall Speaker (Single)
The CI4100QL-THX is an in-wall architectural speaker featuring KEF's patented 100 mm (4") Uni-Q driver. Together with three 100 mm (4") extended response bass drivers, it delivers a dynamic audio experience for home theatres.
Since 1961, KEF has been dedicated to faithfully reproducing sound in its purest form – just as the artist intended. Decades of experience in acoustic innovation on the quest for music perfection now combine in the Ci-Q Series: delivering sound with unrivalled detail and depth that consistently sparks excitement with every encounter.
The CI4100QL-THX features KEF's sophisticated 'sit anywhere' Uni-Q driver array, which places the tweeter in the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone, this allows both the tweeter and woofer to act as a single point source that disperses the sound widely and evenly throughout the room. Together with the discreet Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB) design, offering the slimmest possible visible rim around the speaker, the Ci-Q Series range gives you tremendous freedom to position the speakers where you please.
Ci4100QL-THX is an in-wall speaker certified to THX Select2 standard. A deep understanding of the filmmaking process and surround sound is at the very heart of every THX certified 2.1, 5.1 and 7.1 speaker system. Engineered with design characteristics of professional studio speakers, THX recreates the tonal balance of the filmmaker's final mix in your living room. The results? Action sequences are impactful, and dialogue-driven moments are natural and engaging.
THX certified in-wall speakers deliver the appropriate frequency response and high output and imaging quality of a traditional box speaker. This provides the best of both worlds - THX surround sound performance from components that blend harmoniously with any room decor.
