Ci3160REF-THX
Ci3160REF-THX takes in-wall performance to new heights. Whether used as a two-channel pair or as part of a complete home theatre system in any combination of KEF Architectural and traditional speakers, Ci3160REF-THX delivers countless possibilities for REFERENCE performance.
Flawless Sound
Ci3160REF-THX utilises the latest Uni-Q point source driver array. A 25mm vented aluminium dome tweeter sits at the exact acoustic centre of a 125mm mid-range driver. Together they act as a single source, flooding the listening space evenly with flawlessly natural sound.
Brilliant Bass
Ci3160REF-THX’s bespoke 160mm bass driver is optimised for in-wall performance. With a massive vented magnet assembly and a large aluminium wire voice coil driving an exceptionally light, stiff and strong alloy cone, the dynamics and power handling are exceptional.
Auditioning perfection
Ci3160REF-THX’s crossover combines the science of computer-modelling with the rigours of exhaustive auditioning and refinement of each high-grade component. Only components with the lowest distortion and the smoothest response make the grade for this exceptional loudspeaker.
#For optimised performance, THX recommends using the Ci3160REF-THX without grille or fabric grille.
