Designed to fit all Reference Series in-ceiling speakers with 8-inch woofers, the ME-800-C allows residential contrac- tors to meet building codes as well as diminish the undesirable transfer of sound from one room to the other.
The ME-800-C is manufactured from high-grade cold-rolled steel and features a layer of insulation. It exceeds the one- hour fire-rating requirements and is designed to meet UL2043 requirements for installation in plenum spaces. This metal device has also been tested to meet UL 263, ASTM E119-98, NFPA 251, UBC 7-1 and ULC CAN/ULC-S101 - M89 standards.
The ME-800-C fits 16- or 24-inch stud spans. It also comes with all of the hardware needed for any installation application and provisions for standard conduit connections. Pre-drilled holes simplify the installation process and ensure that all safety requirements are met.
The optimized enclosure volume provides consistent acoustic performance regard- less of construction variations. While the insulation exceeds fire requirements, it also reduces the sound transmission into adjacent spaces by at least 10dB.
The inside edge of the ME-800-C’s mounting ring is color coded to match up with the corresponding Klipsch installation kit size code.
