High‑Fidelity KEF Sound in Spaces Less Than 36 mm Deep

The KEF Ci160TS is an engineering triumph in ultra‑slim architectural audio, designed for installations where cavity depth is extremely limited but premium sound quality is essential. Featuring the latest evolution of KEF’s formidable 4.5‑inch mid/bass T‑Series driver paired with a 1‑inch high‑performance tweeter, the Ci160TS delivers the clarity, detail, and musicality expected from KEF now in places where traditional speakers simply cannot fit.

With a mounting depth of less than 36 mm, the Ci160TS is purpose‑built for luxury high‑rise apartments, modern renovations, and architectural spaces where ceiling or wall depth is at a premium. Despite its ultra‑slim profile, it produces a full, rich, and immersive soundstage that belies its size, making it ideal for both distributed audio and compact home theatre applications.

The Ci160TS integrates seamlessly into any interior thanks to KEF’s Ultra‑Thin Bezel (UTB) design and paintable grille, ensuring a clean, elegant finish. Whether used as a standalone speaker or paired with KEF’s Ci200TRb subwoofer for enhanced low‑frequency performance, the Ci160TS brings uncompromised KEF sound to the most challenging installation environments.
