PlaceSavers® are temporary place-holders for use on new construction, which allow the invisible speaker to be installed at a later phase in the project, while maintaining its exact spot free of drywall.  This protects the invisible speakers by reducing exposure to the harsh construction environment.

The MBX Metal Back Box is ideal where framing is 16″ on-center and a UL rated box is required.  These back boxes should be installed before wallboard is hung and insulated and before speakers are installed.  Two knock-out ports are located on top and bottom of the box.  Install the corresponding PlaceSaver® with the MBX before drywall is installed to ensure a properly sized and located opening in the drywall.  Insulation for the inside of the box is included.

The MBA Metal Back Box is a UL rated box with an adjustable for variable wood, hat channel, and metal stud framing.  This back box has an adjustable width from 9-1/2” (241 mm) to 14-1/2” (368 mm) and should be installed before wallboard is hung.  Back boxes should be insulated before speakers are installed.  Two knock-out ports are located on top and bottom of the box.  Self-adhesive Dynamat insulation is included to seal the seam between the two overlapping sides of the box. Install the corresponding PlaceSaver® with the MBA before drywall is installed to ensure a properly sized and located opening in the drywall.

The MBC Back Box is generally necessary for installing invisible speakers in a masonry wall or ceilings, and should be installed before the masonry is set. Additionally the MBC may be used with hat-channel or other installations where a solid mounting surfaces is needed for Stealth invisible speakers.  The wood portion of the box provides a stable and secure attachment point for the speaker while the outer metal shell provides attachment points for the surrounding wall/ceiling structure.

The SK-1 Shim Kit allows for the speaker panel face to be shimmed out appropriately depending on the framing/wallboard and finishing method. Each kit contains both 1/16” (1.6 mm) and 1/8” (3.2 mm) thick shims in bundles of 25.  Speakers are shipped with a sufficient number of shims for typical 1/2″ and 5/8″ drywall.  The additional shim kit may be needed for thicker drywall applications.

The BX Wooden Back Box* is made from MDF and comes pre-painted and assembled.  Recommended for installations anywhere that a sound enclosure is desired but a UL listed box is not required.  The BX series has a depth of 3-3/8” (86mm) making it ideal for use in traditional in-wall or in ceiling installations.  The BX series is designed to be attached directly to the back of the invisible speaker panel with provided screws, just before the installation of the speaker.

Note 1: the BX back box is not attached to the framing of the wall or any other material separate from the back of the speaker panel.
Note 2:  Unlike the BX, all other back boxes (see below) are designed to be installed in the framing or masonry before the speaker is to be installed.
Note 3: BX Back Boxes are not compatible with LineaRadiance speakers.
