Crestron SPKA-NCTP-IC811 – Saros 8 in. Rough-In Speaker Templates, 10-Pack

Product Overview

The Crestron SPKA-NCTP-IC811 is a 10-pack of new-construction rough-in templates designed for Crestron Saros IC8 series 8-inch in-ceiling speakers. Each collared template marks the precise cutout location and maintains correct speaker depth relative to the finished ceiling surface during rough-in, before drywall is installed. Sold in packs of 10, these templates reduce installation time on multi-room commercial and residential projects.

Product Description

During new construction or major renovation, speaker rough-in templates allow AV contractors to position speaker cutouts accurately and run wiring before drywall goes up. The SPKA-NCTP-IC811 includes a depth collar, which physically positions the speaker body at the correct depth in the ceiling cavity — eliminating guesswork and rework during final trim-out. Once drywall is installed and finished, the Saros IC8 speaker drops into the pre-positioned template for fast, clean final installation. Using 10 templates per pack keeps material consistent across large deployments and simplifies project logistics for multi-room installs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the collar on the SPKA-NCTP-IC811 do?

The depth collar holds the speaker template at the correct depth within the ceiling cavity during rough-in. This ensures the speaker sits flush with the finished ceiling surface once drywall is installed, without requiring additional adjustment at final trim-out.

Are these templates reusable?

These are single-use rough-in templates intended to remain in place through the drywall phase. Each template is consumed per speaker location, which is why they are sold in packs of 10 for project-scale efficiency.
