KEF CI160CRDS Round Dual Stereo In-Ceiling Architectural Loudspeaker, (Each)

Product Description

The KEF Ci Series Dual Stereo models are high-fidelity flush-mount speakers that recreates stereo, and are ideal for locations where there is only room for one speaker. Thanks to KEF’s simple and ingenious screw down clamping system – with moisture-resistant fixings – you can place these speakers in environments such as bathrooms or under eaves.

UTB™ Ultra Thin Bezel

• Asymmetrical tweeter island for wide off-axis response

• Dual 19mm (0.75in.) Aluminium dome tweeters and ‘tangerine’ waveguides

• Dual voice coil 160mm (6.5in.) extended response bass driver

For the rather small master bathroom, KEF suggested we try their stereo speaker – the Ci160CRds.  It is a close cousin to the Ci160CR’s we used in the kitchen and great room, and shares the same dimensions.  With the grille on, you cannot tell the difference, but underneath you will find what makes this speaker unique.  Common for use whole-house audio applications, this speaker is comprised of a dual voice coil 6.5″ woofer and a pair of .75 inch aluminum dome tweeters on a special asymmetrical tweeter island for a wider off-axis response, with KEF’s “tangerine” waveguides.  For a smaller room, such as this bathroom, this unit gives you “stereo” from one speaker.

As you would expect, installation was identical to that of the Ci130’s & 160’s.  It was very quick and easy, especially since this ceiling was a bit lower than the other rooms.  We centered the speaker on the ceiling of the room, which gives ideal coverage to the bath tub, shower and sink.  The 160CRds has also been constructed with moisture-resistant fixings so that it can be installed in environments such as bathrooms or under eaves.

Tangerine Waveguide

The KEF Ci160CRds features the ‘tangerine’ waveguide for exceptionally wide dispersion characteristics, and provides excellent driver protection.

Ultra thin bezel

KEF’s search for the definitive discreet Ci speaker has culminated in the new Ultra Thin Bezel designs, offering the slimmest possible visible rim around the speaker.

Tweeter Island

Delivering a cleaner, purer sound to the maximum number of listeners, the tweeter island at the heart of the Ci160CRds reduces diffraction and enhances off-axis, high frequency response.
