Description

Ci5160RLM-THX

The Ci5160RLM-THX is an in-wall architectural speaker featuring the 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with KEF’s groundbreaking Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™), refined to maximise its full potential and proudly carries the THX Certified Ultra designation. Together with four 6.5” hybrid aluminium bass drivers, it delivers the most dynamic audio experience for home theatres.

Now with Metamaterial Absorption Technology

Since 1961, KEF has been dedicated to faithfully reproducing sound in its purest form – just as the artist intended. Decades of experience in acoustic innovation on our quest for music perfection now combine in the Ci-R Series: delivering sound with unrivalled detail and depth that consistently sparks excitement with every encounter.

Ci-R series speakers are built to the same exacting standards as R Series, which is a direct beneficiary of the technological innovations developed for The Reference, the class-leading series that continually set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction.

The Ci5160RLM-THX architectural speaker from the KEF Extreme Home Theatre range is a case in point. Incorporating a 12th generation Uni-Q driver array it features KEF’s groundbreaking Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), refined to maximise its full potential, and proudly carries the THX Certified Ultra designation - one of the highest THX® performance classes. This fusion of cutting-edge engineering, design and precision craftsmanship delivers every nuance, whisper, and sonic explosion with astonishing clarity and impact, in large home theatres and living rooms alike.

Uni-Q®

At the heart of Ci5160RLM-THX sits the latest example of KEF's signature driver array - Uni-Q. Now in its 12th generation, this remarkable feat of engineering acts as a point source, dispersing sound more evenly allowing everyone to experience the same natural detailed sound, wherever in the room they are.

MAT™

The Ci5160RLM-THX also benefits from another groundbreaking acoustic innovation: Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT). MAT is a highly complex maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of the tweeter, delivering a crisper, more natural treble performance.

True bass definition

Bass is a vital element of performance. The four bass drivers in Ci5160RLM-THX have a two-part structure with a shallow, concave, aluminium skin over a paper cone. This stiffness, combined with the cone’s unique geometry, achieves a piston-like movement for punch and speed. The drivers’ motor system creates a broad and uniform magnetic field, delivering impressive and impactful bass at any volume.

To enhance performance further, fully rebalanced crossovers have been implemented to achieve superior on and off-axis frequency response. The Ci5160RLM-THX carries the prestigious THX® Certified Ultra designation, having undergone rigorous tests in output levels, frequency response, signal-to-noise ratio and distortion, ensuring it recreates high-impact cinema sound and best-in-class audio fidelity.

The result is breathtaking – realistic, immersive sound for remarkably dynamic music, gaming, TV, and movies.

Total attention to detail

Ci5160RLM-THX is designed to be both acoustically and visually exceptional, meticulously refined and engineered to KEF’s unparalleled standards.

The 5.5mm thick, precision-machined aluminium baffle of Ci5160RLM-THX is not only a mark of quality and aesthetic excellence, but also eliminates vibration and provides a stoic platform for the drivers to perform at their best.

Hide your speakers, not your sound

'Hide your speakers, not your sound' is the concept behind KEF’s comprehensive range of architectural speakers. Ci5160RLM-THX is engineered with best-in-class acoustic performance and designed to be discreet in appearance with its included paintable magnetic metal grille, delivering an immersive soundscape via speakers that blend into the interior design. Available in Aluminium Silver, including tone matched Uni-Q and bass drivers. A black cloth magnetic grille is also available separately as an accessory.

THX Certified Ultra

Ci5160RLM-THX delivers ultra-high performance with true theatre sound quality for large theatres and living rooms and it is THX® Certified Ultra. A deep understanding of the filmmaking process and surround sound is at the very heart of every THX® certified speaker system. Engineered with design characteristics of professional studio speakers, THX® recreates the tonal balance of the filmmaker's final mix in your home theatre or living room. The results? Action sequences are impactful, and dialogue-driven moments are natural and engaging.
