KEF's first THX® Certified Dominus speaker

The Ci5160REFM-THX Ci-Reference Architectural Wall-Mounted Speaker is KEF’s first in-wall speaker to be THX® Certified Dominus – one of the few speakers in the world to meet this extreme standard. Equipped with a 12th generation Uni-Q driver and Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™), the Ci5160REFM-THX delivers an immersive, high-quality soundstage with unrivalled sound quality – even for the most expansive home theatres and living rooms.

Realistic, high-quality sound

Equipped with four 160 mm (6.5") woofers, the Ci5160REFM-THX delivers clean, rich and highly articulate bass down to 32 Hz. Combined with a massive, ventilated motor system – specifically designed for in-wall applications – the Ci5160REFM-THX blends seamlessly into the space, leaving nothing behind but an impressive, immersive listening experience.

THX® Certified Dominus

The Ci5160REFM-THX is THX® Certified Dominus, meaning it is in the highest and most powerful performance category of THX® ratings. This level is the closest you can get to the sound experience of a public cinema in your home.

Metamaterial Absorption Technology

Attenuates 99% of unwanted sound

Handmade in the UK

Like our other high-end speakers, Ci-Reference is designed, developed and hand-built in Maidstone, UK.

Uni-Q®

Acts as a single sound source, expanding the "sweet spot" and spreading the sound more evenly throughout the space.

Finished to perfection

Available in Aluminium Black/Grey – brushed aluminium front panel in black and Uni-Q element in grey.

Hide your speakers, not your voice

A paintable magnetic metal grille and optional black fabric grille ensure the speaker blends in seamlessly with its surroundings.

Perfect attention to detail

The 11mm thick, precision-machined aluminum front plate is designed to eliminate vibrations and provide a solid foundation that allows the powerful drivers to perform at their best.
