The KEF Ci3160REFM-THX brings high-performance cinema acoustics directly into your room without taking up valuable floor space. Handcrafted by KEF engineers in Maidstone, UK, this architectural loudspeaker belongs to the flagship Reference Series line, delivering pristine clarity and detail across large rooms. Designed for serious home theatre setups, each unit ensures that sound fills the listening area evenly for an authentic cinematic experience.

Reference Performance Behind the Wall:

Built to satisfy THX Certified Ultra standards, this In-Wall model combines dedicated acoustic engineering with sleek wall integration. Utilising a 12th generation Uni-Q driver array paired with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), high-frequency distortion is absorbed before it can affect sound quality. This design acts like an acoustic absorber, capturing 99% of unwanted rear sound so that dialogue and musical detail remain precise. Whether configured for main channels or matched alongside In-Wall/In-Ceiling Speakers, the soundstage remains perfectly balanced.

Deep and Precise Bass Response:

Low-frequency performance is driven by two 160mm bass drivers supported by a massive vented motor system created specifically for wall cavities. Reaching down to 35Hz, these drivers produce clean, articulate bass that brings movie soundtracks and dynamic music to life. This instock model provides sound enthusiasts with reference-grade acoustic output that visually disappears into the surrounding architecture.

  • Uni-Q Driver Array with MAT: Absorbs high-frequency driver distortion for crystal-clear dialogue and natural sound balance.
  • THX Certified Ultra Sound: Delivers true cinema-grade volume levels and dynamic impact in large living rooms.
  • Dual 160mm Bass Drivers: Produces deep, tight, and articulate low frequencies down to 35Hz.
  • Custom Vented Motor System: Optimises airflow inside wall cavities to maintain clean, low-distortion bass output.
  • Architectural In-Wall Design: Fits flush into wall surfaces to deliver reference audio without bulky floor cabinets.
