Frequently Asked Questions - Ci160ST KEF

Can the KEF Ci160ST be used outdoors?
No, this subwoofer is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures can damage the driver and electronics.
What amplifier power is recommended for the Ci160ST?
An amplifier with 50–150 W RMS per channel at 4 ohms is recommended. Avoid using a subwoofer plate amplifier unless specifically designed for passive subwoofers.
How do I connect the Ci160ST to an amplifier?
Use speaker wire with banana plugs or bare wire. Connect the positive terminal of the amplifier to the red terminal on the subwoofer, and negative to black. Ensure both channels are connected in parallel if using a stereo amplifier.
What is the cut-out size for installation?
The required cut-out diameter is 230 mm (9.1 inches). Minimum cavity depth is 100 mm (3.9 inches). Refer to the template provided in the manual.
Can the Ci160ST be painted to match my wall?
Yes, the grille is paintable. Use a thin coat of spray paint suitable for plastic. Remove the grille before painting and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.
How do I clean the subwoofer?
Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, alcohol, or any abrasive cleaners. For the grille, vacuum gently with a brush attachment.
What is the frequency range of the Ci160ST?
It reproduces frequencies from 38 Hz to 150 Hz. For best performance, set your audio receiver's crossover to around 80–100 Hz.
Is the Ci160ST compatible with Dolby Atmos?
Yes, when used as a subwoofer in a Dolby Atmos system. It can be paired with other Ci series speakers for a full surround setup.
Why is there no sound coming from the subwoofer?
Check that the amplifier is on and the volume is not muted. Ensure the speaker wire connections are secure and that the receiver's subwoofer output is enabled. Verify that the impedance matches the amplifier's specs.
Where can I find replacement parts for the Ci160ST?
Contact KEF customer support or an authorized dealer. Parts such as the driver, grille, and mounting frame are typically available. You can also search online for Ci160ST spare parts.
