KEF Ci160QS 6.5" Square In-Ceiling Speaker
KEF Ci160QS 6.5" Square In-Ceiling Speaker
Allow about 10m per speaker for a typical run back to the amplifier. Webro 16/2 LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) is the right cable for runs in ceilings and walls.
The KEF Ci160QS is a 6.5" square in-ceiling speaker built for anyone wanting high-fidelity, discreet sound in the living room, kitchen, office or home cinema. It suits both dedicated multi-room music systems and immersive home theatre set-ups where a clean ceiling finish matters.
Why we like it
- KEF's renowned Uni-Q driver array places the tweeter at the acoustic centre of the woofer, giving even coverage across the whole room rather than a narrow sound cone
- Ultra-thin square bezel with a paintable magnetic grille disappears into any ceiling colour scheme
- Built-in high-frequency protection circuitry helps protect the tweeter from accidental overload
- Secure, patented mounting system makes for a quick, vibration-free fit during installation
- Flexible 10-100W power handling suits a wide range of amplifiers
Installation notes
Allow a mounting depth of 91mm and a square cut-out of 194 x 194mm when planning your ceiling void. The overall dimensions of the speaker are 223 x 223mm. As a passive 8 ohm speaker, the Ci160QS pairs well with a Sonos Amp or WiiM Amp for streaming-based multi-room setups, or with a traditional AV receiver for dedicated zones.
