KEF Ci160.2CS In-Wall Speaker

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

The KEF Ci160.2CS is a high performance shallow mount speaker designed for flush mount installations where a square shaped assembly is preferred. 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 Ci160.2CS 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 Ci160.2CS 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 Ci160.2CS is a beautifully engineered in-wall speaker that proves great sound doesn’t have to come from bulky boxes. Designed for flush mount installations, its square profile and ultra-thin bezel make it as visually discreet as it is acoustically impressive. KEF’s clever Uni-Q® driver technology places the tweeter right at the centre of the woofer, so highs and lows radiate evenly across the room, creating a smooth, balanced sound wherever you’re sitting - no sweet spot required. The Tangerine Waveguide enhances this wide dispersion even further, while the weather-resistant build, UV protection, and IP64 rating mean it’s perfectly at home indoors or out, from hotel corridors to alfresco dining areas. Easy to install and effortlessly stylish, the Ci160.2CS is one of those rare speakers that sounds as good as it looks, no matter where you put it.
