In detail
About the Ci160QR
Overview
The KEF Ci160QR is a round in-ceiling speaker from KEF's Ci Q Series, built around a 160mm Uni-Q driver array with a 19mm aluminium dome tweeter mounted at the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone. KEF designed it for flush-mount ceiling installs in homes and commercial spaces where wide, even coverage is needed from a discreet speaker.
KEF rates its nominal coverage at 125°. The Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB) keeps the visible rim to no more than 5mm, and the magnetic grille and bezel can both be painted to match the ceiling.
Cinema design
Part of something bigger.
The Ci160QR 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.
