KEF Ci5160RLM-THX Meta In-Wall Speaker

THX Certified Ultra is a rigorous performance standard that ensures the speaker can deliver cinema-grade volume and clarity in large rooms. It guarantees that the audio output matches the professional sound quality intended by filmmakers, providing a consistent, high-fidelity experience.

This technology acts as an acoustic black hole, absorbing 99% of unwanted sound waves generated from the rear of the driver. By eliminating this distortion, the speaker produces a much cleaner, more natural sound that is free from the typical colorations found in traditional designs.

The Ci5160RLM-THX requires a mounting depth of 3.9 inches. While it fits into many standard wall cavities, you should verify your wall depth and ensure there is sufficient structural support, as the unit weighs 41.1 lbs.

These speakers are designed to handle between 50 and 350 Watts. To get the best performance and dynamic range, especially given their 4-ohm impedance, you should pair them with a high-quality amplifier capable of delivering stable power within that range.

Yes, the Uni-Q array acts as a single point source, which creates a much wider and more even sound dispersion than traditional speakers. This means you will experience consistent audio quality across a broader area of the room, rather than being restricted to a single 'sweet spot' directly in front of the speaker.

In-wall speakers can sometimes cause the wall itself to vibrate, which muddies the sound. The precision-machined aluminum baffle provides a rigid, inert platform that eliminates these vibrations, ensuring that the bass remains tight and controlled rather than boomy.
