KEF CI160CRds Stereo 6.5 Inch Round In-Ceiling Single Speaker

The KEF CI160CRds is a 6.5-inch stereo in-ceiling speaker that delivers left and right channel sound from a single speaker location for compact, design-friendly audio installs.

Built for rooms where a traditional two-speaker stereo setup is not practical, the KEF CI160CRds gives you full stereo sound from one discreet in-ceiling speaker. Its dual voice coil 6.5-inch woofer, dual 19 mm aluminum dome tweeters, and KEF Uni-Q design help create clear, balanced audio with wide dispersion, making it a smart fit for bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, smaller bedrooms, and other spaces where one speaker needs to do more. With IP64-rated durability, an ultra-thin bezel, and a paintable magnetic grille, it also blends cleanly into modern interiors.

Quick guidance

The CI160CRds is a smart choice when you want stereo sound in a room that only makes sense for one ceiling speaker. It is especially useful in bathrooms, kitchens, and smaller spaces where clean design and simple installation matter just as much as sound quality. This speaker is sold individually, and each unit outputs stereo sound. For larger areas or multiple listening zones, you may want more than one.

1. Is this one speaker or a pair?
   This is a single speaker. It’s designed to deliver stereo from one ceiling location.
   
2. How do I wire a stereo single speaker like this?
   Run 4-conductor speaker wire from your amp or receiver. Connect the Left channel to the Left inputs and the Right channel to the Right inputs on the speaker.
   
3. When should I choose this instead of two in-ceiling speakers?
   Choose this when you can only cut one hole. If you have space for two speakers, a standard pair will give better stereo separation and imaging.
