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 eliminating 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 Ci160CSDS 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 square speakers require the same cut-out dimensions for ease of installation and flexible component selection.

IP64 Certification

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