Description

The KEF Ci160QL Uni-Q Custom In-Wall Install Speaker (White – Single) is engineered to deliver KEF’s renowned high-fidelity performance in a sleek, architectural form designed for discreet integration. Ideal for both in-wall and in-ceiling applications, this versatile speaker blends seamlessly into modern living spaces while producing expansive, room-filling sound.

At the core of the Ci160QL is KEF’s signature Uni-Q® driver array, featuring a 19mm (0.75in.) aluminum dome tweeter positioned precisely at the acoustic center of the 160mm (6.5in.) low-frequency driver. This advanced configuration ensures wide, even sound dispersion, allowing every listener in the room to enjoy consistent tonal balance, detailed highs, and smooth midrange clarity. The result is a natural, immersive listening experience whether used for background music, stereo playback, or as part of a surround sound system.

With a frequency response of 38Hz–34kHz (±6dB) and 89dB sensitivity, the Ci160QL delivers impressive depth and clarity from a compact footprint. Its 8-ohm nominal impedance and recommended amplifier power range of 10–125W provide excellent compatibility with most AV receivers and multi-room audio systems, making it easy to integrate into new or existing installations.

Designed for clean, flush mounting, the slim-profile chassis fits securely into standard wall or ceiling cavities. The white grille offers a minimalist aesthetic and can be painted to match surrounding décor for a virtually invisible finish. Optional accessories, including the RIF160L rough-in frame and RNC160L rear enclosure, allow for streamlined pre-construction planning and enhanced acoustic performance.

Whether installed in a home theater, living room, hallway, or commercial environment, the KEF Ci160QL delivers premium sound quality with elegant, unobtrusive design—offering a perfect balance of performance and discretion.
