Episode ESS-ENCL-IC-8 In-ceiling Speaker Enclosure

Product Description

The EPISODE ESS-ENCL-IC-8 is an in-ceiling speaker enclosure designed to house and protect in-ceiling speaker drivers during and after installation. The enclosure provides a defined acoustic cavity around the speaker basket, reducing sound bleed into adjacent spaces and helping contain the audio field. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by low-voltage contractors, custom integrators, or experienced AV technicians working on residential or light commercial audio systems.

The ESS-ENCL-IC-8 is suited for new construction and retrofit in-ceiling audio projects where acoustic isolation or fire-blocking compliance is a priority. The enclosure fits around an 8-inch in-ceiling speaker assembly and is typically installed in conjunction with the speaker during rough-in or finishing stages of a build. It is a standard component in structured wiring and distributed audio installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or custom AV integrator. Before installing, ensure power to any nearby electrical circuits in the ceiling cavity is shut off. The enclosure should be secured in the ceiling cavity before or during speaker mounting per the speaker manufacturer's instructions. Consult local building codes for any fire-blocking or acoustic isolation requirements that may apply.
