Crafted for Acoustic Perfection

KEF’s renowned Uni-Q driver array technology results from the accumulated experience of developing such speakers. It ensures uniform sound distribution for even audio enjoyment across the room, in addition to its acoustic prowess. The KEF Ci160QS in Ceiling Speaker design is of a kind that it can be almost invisible.

The speaker is entirely flush with the ceiling and is colourless. So you can seamlessly integrate it into the existing interior design by painting the grill the same colour.

Uni-Q Design

This QS range of ceiling speakers uses parts from hi-fi and is meant to provide the best sound quality for audiophiles. The speaker’s basis is a Uni-Q design. Basically, the treble unit is located in the woofer’s throat, resulting in a single-point source for sound across the frequency range.

By the way, a more extensive, more stable sound field is achieved. KEF Ci160QS has significantly expanded the high-frequency range of the treble and made it more harmonic due to a Tangerine waveguide. Moreover, sound reproducibility is achieved when the woofer cone breakup is absent since the pressure swing is significant. This speaker is on par with most stand-mount speakers in terms of sonic dynamic and sound scale. It delivers enhanced clarity and excellent sound reproduction.
