Quam Nichols Company ES8-6 Square Flush Mount Back Can

Product Description

The QUAM NICHOLS COMPANY ES8-6 is a square flush-mount back can designed to house in-wall or in-ceiling speaker drivers in commercial and institutional audio installations. This enclosure provides a 6-inch deep cavity behind the speaker baffle, giving the driver adequate rear volume for proper acoustic performance. It is typically installed by AV integrators, low-voltage technicians, or electricians roughing in speaker locations during new construction or renovation. The back can is sold as a single unit and serves as the structural and acoustic housing that protects the driver and isolates rear-wave output within the wall cavity.

This enclosure is suited for commercial audio signal distribution systems, paging systems, background music installations, and similar AV infrastructure. The square form factor aligns with standard ceiling tile grids and drywall cutouts commonly used in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and retail environments. It is designed to accept a compatible flush-mount speaker assembly and is installed prior to finish work so the speaker baffle and driver can be snapped or screwed in place at final trim-out.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or AV integrator during the rough-in phase, before drywall finishing or ceiling tile placement. Power to any associated audio amplifier or distribution system should be switched off before making signal connections. Verify local building codes and NEC requirements for in-wall speaker enclosure placement, particularly in plenum-rated spaces. Do not modify the enclosure cutout dimensions, as alterations may affect the acoustic seal between the can and the mounting surface.
