help KEF Ci3160 FAQ

What makes the KEF Ci3160 different from standard in-ceiling speakers?

The Ci3160 is a high-end architectural speaker that features an impressive array of three 6.5-inch bass drivers rather than just one. Combined with a 1.5-inch vented aluminum dome tweeter, it provides powerful, floor-standing speaker levels of bass from a ceiling installation.

Does the KEF Ci3160 feature the Uni-Q driver configuration?

Yes, the speaker utilizes KEF's signature Uni-Q driver array, which places the tweeter in the exact acoustic center of the midrange cone. This design allows the sound to disperse evenly, creating a massive sweet spot for the listener.

Can the magnetic grilles on the KEF Ci3160 be painted to match my ceiling?

Yes, the Ci3160 comes with a paint mask and a magnetic grille specifically designed to be painted. This allows homeowners or custom installers to seamlessly blend the speakers into the drywall or ceiling architecture.

What kind of amplification do I need for the KEF Ci3160?

These speakers have a sensitivity of 89dB and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, making them fairly easy to drive with standard audio-visual receivers. However, due to their high-fidelity nature, they benefit greatly from dedicated amplification from brands like Anthem or Marantz to truly shine.
