Designed specifically for 8\" cone speakers, this recessed baffle is built from a special self-aging aluminum alloy with a tensile strength of 44,000 P.S.I., delivering durability that standard plastic or lightweight metal baffles cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is supported by heat-treated alloy screws that countersink into the frame, eliminating exposed fastener heads and requiring the included special wrench for removal — a critical detail for correctional facilities, transportation hubs, houses of worship, and educational institutions where unauthorized access to speaker hardware is a real risk. A neoprene gasket seals the assembly, while a perforated stainless steel grille and stainless steel mounting studs ensure long-term corrosion resistance in demanding environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VP161A-R8 supports both flush and surface-mounting configurations, giving installers flexibility across ceiling and wall applications without requiring separate hardware. The textured white epoxy finish blends cleanly into standard architectural ceilings, making it a practical choice for installed sound systems where aesthetics and security must coexist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas Sound, L.P. - Mitek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51438749614264,"sku":"20387","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/7382\/4696\/files\/20387_AtlasIED-VP161A-R8-Recessed-Vandal-Proof-Baffle.jpg?v=1767989267","url":"https:\/\/soundpro.com\/products\/atlasied-vp161a-r8","provider":"SoundPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
