Description
Plan the Speaker Location Before the Drywall Goes Up
The PCB80 8-inch speaker rough-in bracket gives builders, electricians and AV installers a defined location for compatible in-ceiling speakers during the framing and pre-wire stage.
Instead of relying on measurements or markings that may disappear during construction, the bracket keeps the planned speaker position visible before the ceiling is closed and helps the finishing crew work around the intended speaker opening.

Why Use a Speaker Rough-In Bracket?
Define Speaker Locations Early
Set speaker positions while the ceiling framing, wiring and other building services are still visible.
Give the Drywall Crew a Clear Reference
The bracket identifies the planned speaker location and opening before the ceiling finish is installed.
Keep Speaker Wire Easy to Find
Route the speaker cable to the planned location so the installer knows where to find the wire when the speakers are fitted later.
Improve Multi-Room Layout Consistency
Useful when several ceiling speakers need intentional and repeatable positioning throughout a home or building.
