RR/RPK Series Ceiling Speaker

Mounting Hardware Accessories

Assembly and Installation Instructions

To aid in the installation of the EVID ceiling speakers in sheetrock or plaster ceiling installations,
two types of rough in accessories are available. For most installations, no additional hardware is
needed. However, a two-step installation procedure that is sometimes used for installation into
sheetrock ceilings can be made easier by the use of the optional RR and RPK series of rough-in
accessories before the ceiling material is installed. The rough-in accessories provide a cutout
guide when many holes are to be made in a production-line style installation and to ensure the
speakers are positioned correctly as the holes are cut in the sheetrock.

RR Series Mounting Plates

RR series plates are made of flat sheet metal with holes
to attach to the joists or trusses of a building structure.
The holes are drilled for nails or screws at 16 inches
(406 mm), 20 inches (508 mm) and 24 inches (610 mm)
on-center. The installer can drill other holes as needed
up to a maximum of 24-3/4 inches (630 mm) apart. The
sheetrock installs over the plate, and the plate provides
a template for a blind cutout of the hole in the sheet
rock. The ceiling material is generally cut with a router­type cutting tool, using the plate ring as a cutout guide.

RPK Series Kits

The RPK series rough-in kit contains a RR series plate
with a standard 2 gang electrical box mounted on the
top with an attached short length of flexible conduit
which connects to the ceiling speaker conduit clamp on
the speakers rear terminal cover. This accessory
allows for rigid conduit to be run to the box on the
rough-in plate before the speaker or any sheetrock is
installed. After the sheetrock is installed the speaker
can be wired up and mounted all from below the ceiling.
