The templates are attached to ceiling framing before drywall installation to mark the speaker cutout location, with the collar allowing drywall compound application for a finished ceiling appearance around the opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn new construction projects, in-ceiling speakers must be positioned and blocked before drywall is installed. The SPKA-NCTP-IC611 collared template is fastened to framing studs or blocking within the allowed joist spacing range of 13 to 26 inches on-center. Unlike the flat version (IC610), the collared design protrudes above the drywall plane, allowing compound to be applied to the collar and finish flush before the speaker is installed. Compatible with Saros IC6T, ICE6T, IC6LPT, IC6ULP, IC6VLP, and ICE6LPT speakers. Sold in packs of ten for multi-room projects.

The IC611 is collared: it protrudes above the drywall plane, allowing compound to be applied around the collar for a smooth, finish-ready opening before the speaker is inserted.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eAre these templates compatible with Saros 8-inch or 4-inch speakers?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo. The SPKA-NCTP-IC611 is designed for the Saros 6.5-inch series. Use SPKA-NCTP-IC810 (flat) or IC811 (collared) for 8-inch Saros speakers, and the corresponding 4-inch template for IC4T\/ICE4T speakers.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCan these templates be used in retrofit installations?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo. New-construction templates are designed for installation on ceiling framing before drywall. For retrofit in-ceiling speaker installations, the speaker is cut in directly after the drywall is already finished.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Crestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47759600320748,"sku":"SPKA-NCTP-IC611","price":310.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/master_photo_a-spka-nctp_8b3b2686-59f5-47d6-a5b4-2ea6dbf27c7b.png?v=1781804616","url":"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/crestron-spka-nctp-ic611","provider":"Creation Networks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
