Uni-Q Driver Array

Advanced Driver Technology: Central to KEF’s design philosophy, the Uni-Q driver array in the Ci5160RLM-THX places a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter at the acoustic center of a 6.5-inch midrange driver. This configuration allows for a single point source of sound, ensuring uniform sound dispersion and a wide listening area.

High-Frequency Precision: The tweeter’s detailed design ensures crisp and clear high-frequency reproduction, enhancing the overall clarity and detail of the audio.

Power Handling: With a high power handling capacity, the Ci5160RLM-THX can produce substantial volume without distortion, making it suitable for large rooms and powerful home theater systems.

Sensitivity and Impedance: High sensitivity allows the speaker to produce ample sound levels with less power input, while its nominal impedance of 4 ohms ensures compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers.
