The FC-8MR New Construction/Mud Ring for 8" Premium Ceiling Speaker from AtlasIED allows integrators to secure conduit or speaker wiring to a fixed reference prior to drywall installation. It also serves as a cutout guide, particularly useful in production environments requiring consistent speaker placement.
Additionally, it preserves the speaker mounting location during framing and drywall phases. The Mud Ring includes structural wings for attachment to ceiling joists or other framing members. The sheetrock can be either precut or cut in place using a rotary tool guided along the outer ring perimeter. Once the drywall is installed, plaster is applied up to the ring's edge, resulting in a precise and seamless cutout aligned to the speaker's mounting profile.
