The KEF Ci160CL is a rectangular in-ceiling loudspeaker from the C Series range, designed for discreet installation where a low-profile grille and flush mounting are priorities. With a 160mm bass/midrange driver paired with a 19mm tweeter and a 3.4kHz crossover frequency, it operates as a two-way system within a compact rectangular enclosure. A cut-out of 274 x 194mm and a mounting depth of just 84.5mm make it compatible with standard ceiling void depths.
Installation
The Ci160CL is designed for fixed in-ceiling installation, with the thin bezel grille sitting flush to the ceiling surface. The 274 x 194mm rectangular cut-out accommodates typical plasterboard installations, and the 84.5mm mounting depth keeps the rear of the enclosure within the standard ceiling void. The speaker is sold individually, allowing custom configurations across multiple zones or channels.
Drive Units & Crossover
The 160mm bass/midrange drive unit handles low and mid frequencies, with a 19mm tweeter taking over above the 3.4kHz crossover point. Nominal impedance is 8 Ohms, with a sensitivity of 89dB and a maximum power handling of 100W.
