Ci3160REF-THX
Description
THX® Certified Ultra in-wall Architectural Speaker
Ci3160REF-THX# utilises REFERENCE technologies to meet the standards of the legendary REFERENCE Series, as well as KEF’s Extreme Theatre and THX® Certified Ultra. It even comes with a REFERENCE Build Certificate signed by the craftsman who made it.
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.

Ci5160REF
Description
Features KEF’s patented Uni-Q driver array
The standards of architectural speakers have been reset forever. We introduce the in-wall KEF Ci5160REF-THX - the newest addition to THE REFERENCE family, meeting KEF’s standards for Extreme Theatre as well as THX Ultra Certification.
Ci5160REF-THX
The Ci5160REF-THX is engineered with a massive aluminium baffle to eliminate vibration and is the perfect platform for the 125mm (5 inch) MF/HF Uni-Q driver array with 25mm (1 inch) vented aluminium dome tweeter and four 160mm woofers.
Uni-Q driver array
At the heart of the Ci5160REF-THX is the 11th generation of the KEF’s signature innovation: the Uni-Q point source MF/HF driver array. With a 25mm vented aluminium dome tweeter at the exact acoustic centre of a 125mm mid-range driver, both act as a single source that floods the listening space evenly with a flawless natural sound field.
Bass drivers
Like everything else about THE REFERENCE, the bespoke 160mm LF driver optimised for use in-wall, is a class apart. 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 superb.
Crossover
KEF engineers computer-modelled the ideal crossover networks before exhaustively auditioning every high-grade component to select those with the lowest distortion and the smoothest response. Perfectionism takes time, but the difference is clear. Nothing is overlooked – the HF and LF crossovers are even mounted on separate boards to minimise crosstalk.
