Crestron SPKA-PMK-SMT8T-W-T – Preconstruction Mounting Kit for Saros SMT8T In-Wall Speakers, White Textured

Product Overview

The Crestron SPKA-PMK-SMT8T-W-T is a preconstruction mounting kit (rough-in bracket) for the Crestron Saros SMT8T in-wall surface-mount speaker. Finished in white textured, this kit is installed during the construction phase before drywall is hung, ensuring accurate placement and a clean finished installation.

Product Description

Proper speaker rough-in during construction eliminates costly retrofit work and ensures the finished speaker location matches the AV design layout. The SPKA-PMK-SMT8T-W-T is installed in the wall cavity during framing or rough-in, establishing the correct depth and position for the Saros SMT8T speaker. When construction is complete and the speaker is ready to install, it mounts directly into the rough-in bracket without additional wall preparation.

This approach protects the wall opening during active construction, keeps the installation site clean, and ensures the finished speaker position is both level and dimensionally accurate. The white textured finish blends with standard drywall surfaces where the bracket face may remain partially visible in the finished installation.
