In detail

About the Ci160CRds

Overview

The KEF Ci160CRds is a round dual stereo in-ceiling speaker from KEF's Ci C Series. It takes both left and right channel inputs in a single speaker, using a dual voice coil 160mm (6.5in.) woofer and two 19mm (0.75in.) aluminium dome tweeters, so a full stereo signal can be played where there is only room for one speaker, such as a bathroom, hallway or under the eaves.

The tweeters sit on an asymmetrical centre island, angled to separate the two channels and widen dispersion. The Ultra-Thin Bezel and magnetic grille are paintable, and a screw-down clamping system with moisture-resistant fixings holds the speaker in place.

Drivers and Technology

  • Dual stereo design: dual voice coil 160mm (6.5in.) woofer reproduces left and right channels
  • Two 19mm (0.75in.) aluminium dome tweeters with KEF's Tangerine waveguides on an asymmetrical tweeter island
  • Nominal coverage of 120° (rated by KEF)
  • Covered crossover circuit
  • Weather-resistant: UV-protected finish and moisture-resistant components, IP64 certified by KEF

Cinema design

Part of something bigger.

The Ci160CRds is one piece of a room. We design the screen, speakers, acoustics and seating around it, then install and calibrate the lot, so it all works as one.
