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.
