AtlasIED FA97 Recessed Enclosure With Dog Legs for Strategy Series | 4" | No Knockout

The AtlasIED FA97 series recessed enclosure is engineered for AV integrators and systems contractors who require a reliable, acoustically optimized back-can solution for ceiling speaker installations in commercial environments. Designed specifically for the Strategy Series speaker family, this enclosure creates a sealed system by mounting the speaker directly to the enclosure body, maximizing low-frequency extension and overall fidelity — a critical advantage in applications demanding both intelligible speech and high-quality music reproduction, such as corporate interiors, hospitality venues, houses of worship, and retail spaces.

Installation is straightforward in plaster, drywall, or suspended tile ceilings up to 2 3/8" thick, using three rotating clamp assemblies that lock into position with a standard screwdriver — no specialized tools required. The flip-tab dog ear design accommodates a wide range of ceiling constructions, while the recessed lip front-load method eliminates any structural load on the grille. This allows installers to use ribbed weld stud push-on grilles for a clean, hardware-free finish and quick grille removal during painting or ongoing maintenance without disturbing the speaker.

UL1480 and UL2042 listings confirm suitability for general signaling and plenum ceiling environments, satisfying code requirements common in commercial construction. When paired with the coaxial FA134 or full-range FA114 speaker, this enclosure delivers the acoustic environment needed to achieve the full performance potential of the Strategy Series driver — making it the purpose-built choice over generic aftermarket enclosures that compromise both acoustic and installation outcomes.
