Lowell SM810A-BR 8" Dual Cone Sound Masking Speaker With Enclosure

The Lowell SM810A-BR is an above-ceiling sound masking speaker built for commercial installed audio applications where privacy and acoustic comfort are priorities. Targeted at AV integrators and systems contractors, this unit combines a 15W dual cone driver with a 70V line-level transformer, allowing it to drop directly into distributed audio systems without an additional matching transformer at the speaker location. The factory-mounted bridge rails make ceiling grid installation straightforward, eliminating the need for a separate mounting step on site.

The included backbox enclosure controls rear dispersion and reduces bleed into adjacent plenum zones, which is critical in open office, healthcare, and government facility installs where sound masking zone integrity must be maintained. The integrated grille provides a finished appearance without a separate trim ring purchase. Because bridge rail mounting is performed at the factory, these units are made to order and are priced individually, though they must be ordered in multiples of four to match typical zone deployment requirements. Integrators planning distributed sound masking systems should account for lead time and non-returnable status when specifying this model.
