DESCRIPTION

Less than 36 mm deep. Full‑range KEF sound. Designed for ultra‑shallow spaces.

The KEF Ci160TR is an engineering breakthrough in architectural audio — a true full‑range in‑ceiling speaker that requires less than 36 mm of mounting depth. Designed for modern luxury spaces where ceiling voids are extremely limited, the Ci160TR delivers KEF’s signature high‑fidelity performance in places where traditional speakers simply cannot fit.

At its core is the latest evolution of KEF’s formidable 4.5‑inch mid/bass T‑Series driver, paired with a powerful 1‑inch tweeter. This ultra‑slim driver technology allows the Ci160TR to maintain exceptional clarity, detail, and dynamic range despite its remarkably shallow profile. Whether used for distributed audio, media rooms, or premium residential installations, the Ci160TR ensures rich, immersive sound without compromise.

The Ultra‑Thin Bezel (UTB) design ensures a clean, seamless appearance once installed, blending effortlessly into any ceiling. The grille is paintable, allowing perfect integration with interior décor. Installation is fast and straightforward, making the Ci160TR ideal for high‑rise apartments, modern renovations, and any project where ceiling depth is at a premium.

A perfect combination of slim form factor, architectural elegance, and KEF acoustic engineering, the Ci160TR opens new possibilities for high‑performance audio in challenging spaces.
