KEF CI9000ACE Information Sheet
Text of the manual
The in-wall Ci Series 9000ACE from KEF
is a innovative new advance into custom
installed loudspeakers. The 165mm (61⁄2")
Uni-Q® driver array brings out the full
emotional depth and texture of vocals,
whether sung,
shouted,
spoken or
whispered - hardly surprising, since it's
exactly the same unit as you'll find on the
XQ series. On either side, a matching pair
of long throw bass drivers with ultra-low
distortion motors for low frequency
response that's as lucid as it is gutsy - and
thanks to KEF's Acoustic Compliance
Enhancement technology, (ACE) what you
actually hear is a level of bass extension
that's normally only obtainable with much
larger speakers.
Ci Series 9000ACE comes with two grille
options: The pictured black cloth covered
grille and a white overhanging grille.
A grille for painting or covering is also
available.
The new Ci Series 9000ACE.
More range, more depth. More alive.

Purpose built for flush mounting into walls,
the 3-way, Ci9000ACE combines 150W
power handling and 88dB sensitivity.
A
165mm (61⁄2”) polypropylene cone
midrange unit with a coincident mounted,
twin neodymium magnet, 19mm (3⁄4”)
aluminium dome, high-frequency unit and
two 165mm (61⁄2”) bass drivers in a sealed
back-box.
HF output can be increased through
alternative
