Uni-Q Driver Array


6.5-Inch Midrange Driver and 1-Inch Tweeter: The Uni-Q array positions the tweeter in the acoustic center of the midrange cone, creating a single point source. This design enhances the clarity and coherence of the sound, providing uniform dispersion across the listening area.

Wide Dispersion: The Uni-Q technology ensures that sound is evenly distributed, minimising the 'sweet spot' effect and providing consistent audio quality throughout the room.


Drivers and Enclosure


Two 6.5-Inch Bass Drivers: The Ci3160RLM-THX features two high-excursion bass drivers designed to deliver deep, impactful low frequencies, crucial for cinematic effects and bass-heavy music.

High-Rigidity Enclosure: The speaker's rigid enclosure minimises unwanted vibrations and resonances, contributing to a cleaner, more accurate bass response.

Build Quality

Premium Materials: KEF uses high-quality components and materials to ensure durability and long-term reliability.

Acoustic Damping:
The construction includes materials designed to dampen vibrations and eliminate internal resonances, ensuring pure sound quality.
Audio Performance

Frequency Response: The speaker covers an extensive frequency range, typically from 43 Hz to 28 kHz, ensuring that all audio details, from the lowest bass to the highest treble, are accurately reproduced.

Power Handling: With a high power handling capability, the Ci3160RLM-THX can deliver loud, dynamic sound without distortion, making it ideal for large, powerful home theater systems.

Sensitivity: The high sensitivity rating allows the speaker to produce significant volume with less power, making it efficient in terms of energy use.


Design and Installation


In-Wall Mounting: Designed for flush installation within walls, the Ci3160RLM-THX provides a sleek, unobtrusive look. It’s perfect for setups where visual impact is minimised without compromising audio quality.

Magnetic Grille: The speaker includes a low-profile, magnetically attached grille that can be painted to match the room’s décor, further enhancing its discreet appearance.

Optimised for Custom Installations: The design is optimised for integration with KEF’s in-wall and in-ceiling systems, allowing for a cohesive and balanced sound field.
