Crestron SPKA-NCTP-IC610 – Saros 6.5 in. Rough-In Speaker Templates, 10-Pack

Product Overview

The Crestron SPKA-NCTP-IC610 is a 10-pack of new-construction rough-in templates for Crestron Saros IC610 series 6.5-inch in-ceiling speakers. The flat (no-collar) design sits flush against the ceiling framing, marking the cutout position and routing wiring before drywall installation. Sold in packs of 10 for consistent use across multi-room commercial and residential projects.

Product Description

New-construction speaker templates allow AV contractors to accurately position speaker locations and complete wiring rough-in before drywall is hung. The SPKA-NCTP-IC610 uses a flat profile without an extended depth collar, making it suited for installations where framing depth is controlled and a low-profile template is preferred. The template marks the exact cutout boundary for the 6.5-inch IC610 speaker, ensuring consistent positioning across all rooms in a project. After drywall installation and finishing, the IC610 speaker mounts directly to the pre-positioned rough-in, accelerating final trim-out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the flat and collared rough-in template variants?

The flat template (SPKA-NCTP-IC610) sits flush against the ceiling framing with no extended depth collar. The collared variant (such as the SPKA-NCTP-IC811) includes a collar that physically positions the speaker body at a set depth within the cavity. The flat version is appropriate when framing depth is already consistent and controlled, or when the installation does not require mechanical depth positioning at the rough-in stage.

Can the SPKA-NCTP-IC610 be used with 6.5-inch speakers from other manufacturers?

No. The SPKA-NCTP-IC610 is dimensioned for the Crestron Saros IC610 series and is intended for use only with that speaker line. Using it with non-Crestron speakers may result in incorrect cutout sizing or fitment issues.

Are these templates reusable across multiple projects?

These are single-use rough-in templates that remain in place through the drywall phase. The 10-pack format is intended to support a single project’s speaker count efficiently, with consistent templates across all locations.
