KEF CI160ER 6.5 Inch Slim Bezel Round In-Ceiling Speakers Pair

KEF Uni-Q in-ceiling speaker with slim bezel design and moisture-resistant build

The KEF Ci160ER is a 6.5" in-ceiling speaker designed to deliver KEF clarity and wide dispersion in a clean, low-visual-impact install. Using KEF’s Uni-Q driver array, it spreads sound evenly across the room so you get consistent audio in more seats, with fewer speakers. The ultra-thin bezel and paintable magnetic grille help it blend into modern ceilings for a near-invisible finish.

Important

• Price is for one speaker. For stereo you typically need two. For multi-room audio, order the quantity needed per zone.

Why it fits custom installs

• Uni-Q driver array: Tweeter placed at the acoustic center for smoother, more even room coverage.
• Ultra-thin bezel (UTB): Cleaner visual finish that disappears into the ceiling.
• Paintable magnetic grille: Easy to match the room’s décor.
• Moisture and humidity resistance: Suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and other higher-humidity spaces.
• Balanced 6.5" size: Great everyday choice for background music, TV audio zones, and multi-room systems.

Best use cases

• Whole-home audio zones in living rooms, kitchens, hallways, and bedrooms
• Bathrooms and other humid areas where standard speakers are not ideal
• Clean architectural installs where you want high performance with minimal visual impact

1. Will this work with my AV receiver or multi-room amp?
   Yes. It’s an 8 ohm speaker, and it plays nicely with most AV receivers and multi-room amps in the typical 10 to 100W per channel range.
   
2. What hole size and ceiling depth do I need?
   Cut a 7.71 inch (196 mm) hole. Plan for about 3.49 inches (88.7 mm) of mounting depth. Use the included cutout template so the fit is clean.
   
3. Is it ok for bathrooms or covered outdoor areas?
   It’s IP64 rated for moisture resistance, so it’s a good choice for humid rooms and covered areas. Avoid direct water spray or open rain exposure, and seal the cutout properly.
