Designed for demanding home theater installations, this THX Certified Ultra speaker combines KEF's revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™), 12th-generation Uni-Q® driver array, and dual 6.5-inch hybrid aluminum bass drivers to deliver remarkable clarity, powerful dynamics, and exceptional sound dispersion.

Advanced Acoustic Engineering
12th-Generation Uni-Q® Driver Array
KEF's signature Uni-Q technology positions the tweeter at the acoustic center of the midrange driver, creating a more coherent sound source. The result is precise imaging, natural dialogue reproduction, and remarkably consistent sound throughout the listening area.
Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™)
KEF's groundbreaking MAT technology absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the tweeter, dramatically reducing distortion and coloration. Hear greater detail, transparency, and realism in everything from quiet dialogue to the most demanding movie soundtracks.
THX Certified Ultra Performance
Engineered to meet THX's demanding performance standards, the Ci3160RLM-THX delivers the dynamic range, output capability, and sonic accuracy expected from a serious home theater system.
Dual 6.5-Inch Hybrid Aluminum Bass Drivers
Two dedicated bass drivers provide exceptional low-frequency control, impact, and definition, complementing the Uni-Q array for a powerful, balanced presentation.
Premium Architectural Construction
A precision-machined 5.5 mm aluminum baffle provides a rigid, vibration-resistant foundation for the drivers. The included paintable magnetic metal grille allows the speaker to blend seamlessly into your room.

The Perfect Foundation for a Serious Home Theater
For dedicated theaters where sound quality matters as much as aesthetics, the KEF Ci3160RLM-THX is an exceptional solution.
Its controlled dispersion, outstanding dialogue intelligibility, and dynamic capabilities make it particularly well suited for acoustically transparent projection screens, allowing the front speakers to be positioned directly behind the image for a more authentic cinematic experience.
Combine three matching Ci3160RLM-THX speakers for the front soundstage with complementary KEF architectural surround and Atmos speakers to create a remarkably cohesive, immersive theater.
