Extreme Home Theatre Performance with MAT™, Uni‑Q, and Reference‑Level Engineering

The KEF Ci5160RLM‑THX represents the pinnacle of in‑wall loudspeaker engineering an ultra‑high‑performance architectural solution designed for Extreme Home Theatre installations where uncompromised dynamics, precision, and cinematic realism are essential. Proudly carrying the THX Certified Ultra designation, it delivers the power, scale, and accuracy required for large home theatres and luxury media rooms.

At its core is KEF’s 12th‑generation Uni‑Q driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™) a breakthrough acoustic innovation that absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the tweeter. This dramatically reduces distortion, enhances clarity, and reveals the finest details in dialogue, music, and effects.

Supporting the Uni‑Q are four 6.5‑inch hybrid aluminium bass drivers, engineered for deep, tight, and controlled low‑frequency performance. Together, they create a soundstage that is powerful, immersive, and astonishingly accurate—bringing the filmmaker’s final mix into your room with studio‑grade fidelity.

The Ci5160RLM‑THX is built on a 5.5 mm precision‑machined aluminium baffle, eliminating unwanted vibrations and providing a rigid, stable platform for the drivers to perform at their absolute best. Every detail is engineered for performance, from the tone‑matched drivers to the seamless integration options.

With a paintable magnetic metal grille and an optional black cloth grille, the Ci5160RLM‑THX blends effortlessly into any interior while delivering sound that is anything but subtle. Available in Aluminium Silver, it is finished to perfection—both visually and acoustically.

For large rooms, luxury cinemas, and high‑end media environments, the Ci5160RLM‑THX stands as one of KEF’s most advanced architectural loudspeakers, delivering true theatre sound quality with breathtaking realism and authority.
