Pre-Construction brackets are nailed or screwed to the studs or rafters before the sheetrock is installed. Their primary purpose is to indicate to the sheet-rock installers where (and what size) to cut holes for the speakers.

They are optional. If not used, you must secure the speaker wire in place between the studs or rafters, measure the exact location, then cut the speaker hole and retrieve the wire after the sheet-rock is installed.

To use the MR-1/MR-CVR as a speaker locator:

Screw or nail the MR-1 onto a stud or rafter where you want the speaker to go.

Attach the speaker wire to the MR-1 with a tie-wrap. (Picture 2)

Cut a rectangular (standard single-gang) hole in the sheetrock when it is installed. (Picture 3)

If the speaker is not going to be installed right away, install the MR-CVR coverplate to make the ceiling look nice in the meantime. (A blank rectangular coverplate would be used in an in-wall location.) (Picture 4)

When ready to install the speaker, bend the MR-1 back into the wall/ceiling. (There is a scored line on the bracket and it is designed to be bent this way.) (Picture 5)

Cut the hole for the speaker. The speaker hole should be cut as far away from the stud as possible, while still including all of the original cutout. This will leave room for the "dog ears" of the speaker to grab hold of the sheetrock. (Picture 6)

Reach through the hole and break the MR-1 bracket, pulling it out through the hole.
Attach the speaker in the normal manner! (Picture 7)

The purpose of the EZ-Cap Pre-Wire Installation Kit is to allow easy access to the wiring for customers who wish to install speaker components sometime in the future while remaining inconspicuous when not in use.

Audio/video contractors, electrical contractors, or any low-voltage contractor pre-wiring new construction homes, townhouses, condominiums, track homes, apartment buildings and commercial buildings for speaker components will find the EZ-Cap Pre-Wire Installation Kit invaluable. EZCAP Pre-Wire Installation KitIt gives the low-voltage contractor the ability to pick a location to pre-wire for a speaker component and secure the wire in place. After the wallboard is installed, the contractor returns to install the flush mount cap over the wire outlet hole in the drywall. The cap gives a low-voltage contractor future access to the wire for easy installation of a speaker component. At the same time, the cap is small and unobtrusive. The EZ-Cap cover can be painted to blend into the wall or ceiling.

The EZ-Cap Pre-Wire Installation Kit can also be used in other pre-wire applications such as security systems, garage door motor control wire, or any device that requires low-voltage wire to penetrate the drywall of a structure.

The ISF-147 will protect in-ceiling loudspeakers against abrasive insulation fibers and dust particles thatcan get into the voice coil assemblies and disable loudspeakers. This great 'Pop-Up' nylon loudspeaker cover is a simple and cost effective solution that will significantly improve your installations over the "long haul".

This rough-in covers the speakers for extra protection.

EZ Ceiling Bracket

The Ceiling Bracket, or EZ-IC, system by EZBracket represents a whole new way of looking at speaker brackets. One bracket will fit any of the most popular speaker sizes from companies such as SpeakerCraft®, Niles®, PSB®, and many others.

Installation of the EZBracket EZ-IC is quick and easy thanks to the lightweight but rigid structure of the bracket as well as the ruler markings printed directly on the bracket itself. All that is needed to install the EZ-IC system is two hands and a staple gun.

The Wall Bracket, or EZ-W, from EZBracket is an innovative design that can expand to fit nearly any size of in-wall speaker. The bracket can even be stacked to accomodate very tall in-wall speakers. As with the EZ-C, EZ-W installation is made easy with rule markings printed directly on the rigid bracket frame.
