Lowell PR8-1624 Ceiling Rough-In Bridge For Recessed Speakers

The Lowell PR8-1624 is a rough-in bridge designed for AV integrators and contractors who need to pre-position recessed loudspeaker openings during the framing phase of a construction or renovation project. It mounts directly to structural ceiling or wall members before drywall is installed, with a half-inch protruding lip that gives the drywaller a precise guide for cutting the speaker opening. The result is a clean, correctly sized hole ready for speaker installation without rework or patching.

This bridge is compatible with recessed speakers used with or without a backbox, making it adaptable to a range of installed audio configurations. The mounting hole pattern supports both 16-inch and 24-inch on-center stud or joist spacing, covering the most common framing standards encountered in commercial and residential AV installs. For integrators coordinating with general contractors on multi-room audio, hospitality, house of worship, or corporate facility projects, the PR8-1624 streamlines rough-in scheduling and eliminates the guesswork that leads to costly ceiling repairs. Priced per unit and ordered in multiples of 10.
