Ci160CRds
Architectural Speaker
Product Overview
The KEF Ci160CRds is a premium high-performance dual stereo
speaker designed for in-ceiling and flush mount installations
where a single speaker assembly is preferred. The dual stereo
design allows the speaker to accept both left and right channel
inputs ensuring it delivers the complete stereo soundtrack.
The speaker features a dual voice coil 160mm low frequency
woofer and an asymmetrical tweeter island housing two 19mm
aluminium dome tweeters with KEF's proprietary Tangerine
Waveguides that further enhance dispersion for smooth and
consistent coverage across a wide listening area. The KEF
Ci160CRds is constructed using water resistant components
and the Ultra-Thin Bezel and grille are treated with a UV
resistant protective finish making the speaker ideal for high
fidelity applications in areas such as bathrooms.
Key Features
Dual Stereo Design – A dual voice coil woofer and two discrete
tweeters are capable of reproducing both left and right input
signals in one assembly eliminates the need to install additional
speakers.
Asymmetrical Tweeter Island –The centre mounted dual
tweeter island optimizes the angle of each tweeter to create
separation and improve dispersion across a wider listening area.
Tangerine Waveguide – In addition to protecting the tweeters,
the Tangerine Waveguide further enhances dispersion allowing
for 120 degrees of coverage.
Weather Resistant – Manufactured using a proprietary plating
and powder coating process, the KEF Ci160CRds is UV
protected and designed to withstand the harshest operating
environments.
Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB) – To maintain a premium aesthetic
appearance, the carefully engineered ABS bezel is designed to
be as thin as possible while maintaining the necessary structural
rigidity.
Magnetic Grille – For security and ease of installation, the grille
attaches by a powerful magnetic circuit and can be painted to
match any décor.
Covered Crossover Circuit – The cover adds structural rigidity
to the speaker assembly while protecting the electrical
crossover components from potential damage.
Universal cut-out – All KEF 160mm round in-ceiling speakers
require the same diameter cut-out for ease of installation and
flexible component selection.
IP64 Certification – The speaker passed official IEC testing to
ensure that splashing water would have no harmful effects on
assembly components.
