Finished in white textured, this kit is installed during the construction phase before drywall is hung, ensuring accurate placement and a clean finished installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProper 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreconstruction rough-in bracket for Crestron Saros SMT8T in-wall speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalled before drywall for accurate speaker placement and clean finished appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite textured finish compatible with standard wall surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects wall opening during active construction phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimplifies final speaker installation — mounts directly to bracket at finish stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsures correct speaker depth and positional alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces retrofit labor and wall repair costs on new construction projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew construction commercial AV projects with in-wall speaker installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-room residential systems where speakers are specified before drywall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHospitality and hotel room AV systems built to a consistent speaker layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorporate office builds with standardized in-wall audio throughout tenant spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducation facilities with in-wall speakers installed during building construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrestron Saros SMT8T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKit Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePreconstruction mounting \/ rough-in bracket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite Textured\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation Phase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-drywall rough-in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSPKA-PMK-SMT8T-W-T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: When should the SPKA-PMK-SMT8T-W-T be installed relative to construction milestones?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The rough-in bracket is installed after wall framing is complete and before drywall is hung.
