REFERENCE-grade sound delivered by the flexible KEF Ci3160REF-THX
Introducing the in-wall KEF Ci3160REF-THX - the newest addition to THE REFERENCE family. It meets all the legendary standards of the REFERENCE Series as well as KEF’s Extreme Theatre and THX Utilising REFERENCE driver platforms and crossover layout, and tested to the same incredibly strict limits – the Ci3160REF-THX comes with the REFERENCE Build Certicate signed by the craftsman who built it.
The KEF Ci3160REF-THX features three signature innovations drawn from REFERENCE technology.
First, the latest generation of KEF’s signature innovation: the Uni-Q point source MF/HF driver array. With a 25mm vented aluminium dome tweeter at the exact acoustic centre of a 125mm mid-range driver, both act as a single source that oods the listening space evenly with a awless natural sound eld. Second, the bespoke 160mm bass driver optimised for in-wall is a class apart. With a massive vented magnet assembly and a large aluminium wire voice coil driving an exceptionally light, sti and strong alloy cone, the dynamics and power handling are exceptional.
Certied Ultra*.
And third, a crossover that combines the science of computer-modelling with the rigour of exhaustive auditioning and renement of each high-grade component – only selecting those with the lowest distortion and the smoothest response.
Taken together, these innovations oer new levels of acoustic performance, along with a freedom and exibility for aesthetic system design never possible till now. The result: acoustic perfection, which takes time to craft, but the dierence becomes plain to hear.
This perfect reproduction of recorded sound is what KEF’s legendary REFERENCE Series has always stood for. With over 40 years of continuous innovation and development, it is little wonder the KEF REFERENCE label has become the yardstick of high-end acoustic engineering. Whether used as a pair for two channel, or as a complete home theatre system in any combination of KEF Architectural and traditional speakers, Ci3160REF-THX helps deliver countless possibilities for REFERENCE performance.
