Quick guidance

The CI160.2CR is a smart choice if you want KEF sound in a 6.5-inch ceiling speaker that can fit where deeper models may not. It is especially useful for tighter cavities, humid rooms, and multi-room projects where clean installation and dependable performance both matter. This speaker is sold individually, so for stereo setups you will usually want two. If you want help planning the right quantity or matching amplifier, contact us.

1. Is this one speaker or a pair?
   This is a single speaker. For stereo in one room, you’ll typically order two.
   
2. Will it work with my AV receiver or multi-room amp?
   Yes. It’s a standard passive in-ceiling speaker and pairs well with most receivers and multi-room amplifiers. Just match the amp power to the room size and listening level you want.
   
3. What should I check before cutting the ceiling?
   Confirm the cutout size, mounting depth, and joist clearance. Use the included template for the cleanest cut and verify you’re not hitting wiring or ductwork.
