Lowell IBOX-2 Steel Acoustic Enclosure For 12" Recessed Or Flown Speaker

The Lowell IBOX-2 is designed for AV integrators and system engineers installing 12-inch speakers in distributed sound reinforcement applications where both structural integrity and acoustic performance are non-negotiable. Its welded unitized 18-gauge steel construction provides the rigidity required for flown rigging or recessed ceiling and wall installations, while internal damping minimizes the acoustical and mechanical resonance that plagues untreated metal enclosures.

What sets the IBOX-2 apart from comparable steel enclosures is its ability to replicate the loading characteristics of a 3/4-inch plywood box. This allows the mounted 12-inch driver to operate at its optimum loading level, extending low-frequency response in applications like lecture halls, houses of worship, convention spaces, and large-format installed sound systems. The 2 cubic foot internal volume is supported by sound board and 1.5-inch batting for controlled acoustic treatment from the inside out.

Installation is straightforward for experienced integrators. Included 8-32 screw-retaining U-clips and 1/4-20 forged eyebolts accommodate a range of rigging and mounting configurations. The screw-mount grille interface keeps the finish clean and serviceable in permanent installations. For projects requiring a 12-inch enclosure that performs at the acoustic level of a purpose-built wood box without sacrificing the durability of steel, the IBOX-2 is the practical choice.
