ᐅ Large airtight built-in enclosures

Hello everyone,

I would like to install ceiling speakers on the ground floor. We are building using timber frame construction, and for the installation housings, we need to ensure airtightness. The ceiling opening for my currently planned speakers is 150mm (6 inches) in diameter, with a minimum installation depth of 75mm (3 inches). Are there suitable installation housings that allow me to fit the speakers into the ceiling, or is this only possible with suspended ceilings?

For the speakers, there are the EnoX products, which would require me to look for shallower speakers.

Additionally, I would like to install an in-wall touch display. The same conditions as described above apply here as well. What options are available? For the planned 19-inch size, the EnoX systems don’t fit. :-)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Christian

Apart from the fact that speakers always require a certain volume, I wonder which ceiling is meant? The ground floor or the upper floor, etc.

Good morning,

as mentioned in the first sentence, this concerns the ground floor.

I am aware that this system is not ideal for speakers. However, our requirements are not very high. If someone says that this is not possible at all, that would be fine too. In that case, I would continue looking.

But I am specifically looking for built-in enclosures for the speakers. These need to be installed airtight. So far, I have not found anything suitable.

Sunny regards,
Christian

What about the in-wall speakers designed for flush mounting from the light switch series? Take a look at the product page of, for example, Busch-Jäger under Multimedia, specifically Radio/Speakers... Maybe this could be something for your project?

Hi,
we have recessed housings from the company Kaiser installed in the concrete ceiling. I can’t provide a link, but try searching for "Kaiser HaloX®-P concrete recessed housing."
Maybe you’ll find some information there.

But just a quick question: Why do you even need airtight housings? Above the ground floor ceiling, there is the upper floor, so there shouldn’t be any problems with the building’s thermal envelope, right? Is there another reason for this?

Best regards,

Andreas

Thank you for the responses.

The speakers are not the issue; the problem is that I am only allowed to install them in the ceiling inside an airtight enclosure. I am currently trying to find a possible solution for this.

@andimann: We are building with a timber frame construction and do not have a concrete ceiling.
