Are mounting brackets (new construction) required to install In-Ceiling and In-Wall speakers?
It depends on your installation needs. Our in-wall and in-ceiling speakers are equipped with their own mounting system and will install without additional brackets. They will mount directly to sheetrock/drywall with the “L” shaped mounting legs that clamp to the backside of the wallboard. The benefit of brackets is to indicate pre-determined speaker locations at the time the drywall work is done. New construction brackets provide a template that allows sheet-rock or dry-wall to be cut for the speakers upon installation. Brackets will provide some additional structural support as they are rugged and mount directly to studs or joists.
