KEF Ci160.2CL In-Wall Speaker

KEF Ci160.2CL In-Wall Speaker with Uni-Q® Driver Array

The KEF Ci160.2CL is a high performance shallow mount speaker designed for flush mount in-wall installations. It’s a coincident point source design featuring KEF’s proprietary Uni-Q® technology with a driver array that includes a 0.6” (16mm) high frequency aluminium dome tweeter mounted in the acoustic centre of the 6.5” (165mm) low frequency woofer. The tweeter features KEF’s Tangerine Waveguide engineered to enhance high frequency dispersion and when combined with the Uni-Q array, creates a speaker that delivers exceptionally smooth and consistent sound across a wide listening area.

The KEF Ci160.2CL is constructed using weather resistant components and the Ultra-Thin Bezel and Grille are treated with a UV protective coating making this speaker ideal for background, foreground, and announcement applications in indoor and outdoor venues such as hotel rooms, corridors and school hallways.

KEF “Sit-Anywhere” Uni-Q® Technology

This proprietary driver array places the tweeter in the acoustic centre of the woofer delivering wide dispersion with consistent sound characteristics throughout the space. Because the high and low frequencies originate from the same point, acoustic lobbing problems common to other speaker designs are virtually eliminated allowing fewer speakers to deliver smooth coverage across a wide listening area.

Tangerine Waveguide

In addition to protecting the driver, 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 Ci160.2CL is UV protected and designed to withstand the harshest operating environments.

Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB)

To maintain a premium aesthetic appearance, the ABS bezel was carefully engineered 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.

IP64 Certification

The speaker passed official IEC testing to ensure that splashing water would have no harmful effects on assembly components.

Our Review

The KEF Ci160.2CL is a seriously capable in-wall speaker that blends smart engineering with effortless, room-filling sound. Designed for shallow flush-mount installs, it features KEF’s signature Uni-Q® driver array - a clever setup that places the tweeter at the acoustic centre of the woofer, so every note and detail reaches you with smooth, consistent clarity no matter where you’re sitting. The 6.5” woofer and 0.6” aluminium dome tweeter, enhanced by KEF’s Tangerine Waveguide, deliver impressively wide dispersion and a beautifully balanced soundstage that feels natural and refined. Built tough with weather-resistant materials, a UV-protected ultra-thin bezel, and IP64 certification, it’s equally at home indoors or out - whether it’s bringing subtle background music to a hotel corridor or rich, detailed audio to a stylish living space.
