Description
The Ci160.2 CR is a 2-way in-ceiling speaker from KEF, designed for ceiling installation. It belongs to the Ci-C series, conceived as an entry point into the world of integrated speakers, with the aim of blending into the décor while delivering carefully engineered sound.
Its central technical strength is KEF's patented Uni-Q technology: the tweeter is positioned at the acoustic centre of the woofer/midrange cone, so that the two drivers act as a single point source. This design principle allows for more uniform sound dispersion throughout the room, regardless of listening position. The speaker also benefits from an extremely shallow mounting depth, allowing installation in configurations where other ceiling speakers in the same category could not be fitted.
Aesthetically, the finish favours discretion: ultra-thin bezels and an exceptionally flat grille, for near-invisible integration into the ceiling. The marine-grade treatment also protects the speaker against moisture and UV rays.
This model is aimed at those wishing to install discreet in-ceiling sound in a living room, kitchen or space exposed to moisture, without compromising on the evenness of sound dispersion. It is particularly suited to projects where space above the false ceiling is limited.
What to check before buying used
On this type of ceiling speaker, the Uni-Q driver's diaphragm deserves careful inspection: the foam surround can stiffen or crack with age, especially if the unit has been kept in a damp room. Also check the condition of the magnetic grille and its fixing system, as well as the original ceiling cut-out, which must match the mounting diameter. A test at moderate volume can reveal any rubbing noise or distortion indicating a coil centring fault.
