KEF Ci160CR

Customised Solution, Support and Installation

Sold as a Single Speaker

 

The Ci160CR is an exceptionally stylish round in-ceiling speaker with some all new impressive features.



The speaker features a brand new 6.5″ drive unit with an asymmetrical tweeter island for wide off-axis response. And with an extremely shallow mounting depth of only 3.36″, the Ci160CR is a breeze to install in any kind of ceiling.



Another fantastic addition is our proprietary Ultra Thin Bezel technology which allows the speakers to blend with the ceiling, creating a smoother transition from ceiling-to-speaker.



Amazingly strong magnetic grilles are also utilized for ease of install and painting. 



More fantastic features:



• In-Ceiling loudspeaker for custom installation applications



• Frequency response 52Hz – 20kHz, Power handling 10-100W, 89dB sensitivity, 8Ohm



• Asymmetrical tweeter island delivers a cleaner, purer sound while reducing diffraction and enhances off-axis, high frequency response



• 6.5″ bass/mid driver: Good bass extension from a flush-mount loudspeaker. 3/4″ soft dome ferrofluid cooled tweeter: Excellent power handling and smooth response.



• Like all KEF Ci in-wall products, the bezel and grille can be painted to match the interior décor.



• Product External Dimensions: 234.6mm (9.24 in.) / 93mm (3.66 in.)



• Mounting depth just 3.36″



• Finishes Available: White, paintable finish

 

Specifications

The ‘tangerine’ waveguide has exceptionally wide dispersion characteristics, and provides excellent driver protection.

 

Delivering a cleaner, purer sound to the maximum number of listeners, the tweeter island reduces diffraction and enhances off-axis, high frequency response.

 

Ultra Thin Bezel

KEF’s search for the definitive discreet Ci speaker has culminated in the new Ultra Thin Bezel designs, offering the slimmest possible visible rim around the speaker.

 

Forward Woofer Mounting

Forward woofer mounting is another KEF technology that eliminates diffraction and ensures we create speakers that perform brilliantly regardless of placement.



Computer Optimised Trim Ring

The new, computer optimised trim ring offers stunning midrange clarity and a more open and natural sound across a wider area.



Special Grille Treatments

Seven of the Ci Round speakers now feature a powder-coated grille with a proprietary plasticised additive, delivering corrosion resistance that’s ideal for humid conditions.
