Me-800-c, Metal enclosure for 8” in-ceiling speaker

Designed to fit all Reference Series 
in-ceiling speakers with 8-inch woofers, 
the ME-800-C allows residential contrac-
tors to meet building codes as well as 
diminish the undesirable transfer of sound 
from one room to the other. 
The ME-800-C is manufactured from 
high-grade cold-rolled steel and features 
a layer of insulation. It exceeds the one-
hour fire-rating requirements and is 
designed to meet UL2043 requirements 
for installation in plenum spaces. This 
metal device has also been tested to meet 
UL 263, ASTM E119-98, NFPA 251, UBC 
7-1 and ULC CAN/ULC-S101 - M89 
standards.
The ME-800-C fits 16- or 24-inch stud 
spans. It also comes with all of the 
hardware needed for any installation 
application and provisions for standard 
conduit connections. Pre-drilled holes 
simplify the installation process and ensure 
that all safety requirements are met.
The optimized enclosure volume provides 
consistent acoustic performance regard-
less of construction variations. While the 
insulation exceeds fire requirements, it 
also reduces the sound transmission into 
adjacent spaces by at least 10dB.
The inside edge of the ME-800-C’s 
mounting ring is color coded to match up 
with the corresponding Klipsch installation 
kit size code.
