The AtlasIED EZ96-8 is a cylindrical protective ceiling speaker enclosure designed to simplify the installation of compatible AtlasIED speaker baffles in commercial audio and paging systems. Featuring durable welded cold-rolled steel construction and the patented EZ Mount Enclosure/Rail System, the EZ96-8 provides a practical mounting solution that reduces installation time while supporting the combined weight of the speaker, baffle, and enclosure.
Designed for suspended ceiling installations, the EZ96-8 includes adjustable support rails that transfer the assembly's weight to the ceiling support members. This integrated mounting arrangement eliminates the need for a separate tile bridge and reduces the time-consuming fastening procedures associated with conventional enclosure installations.
The enclosure features a painted finish, protective undercoating, and patch-jute lining designed to reduce mechanical and acoustical resonances.
With its compact cylindrical design and compatibility with a wide selection of AtlasIED speaker baffles, the EZ96-8 is well suited for commercial paging, background music, and distributed audio installations.
Patented EZ Mount Support System
One of the primary advantages of the AtlasIED EZ96-8 is its integrated EZ Mount Enclosure/Rail System (U.S. Patent No. 4,484,658).
This patented mounting system is designed to simplify the installation of ceiling speaker enclosures in supported suspended ceiling structures.
Instead of relying on a separate tile bridge, the EZ96-8 uses adjustable support rails to transfer the combined weight of the speaker, baffle, and enclosure to the ceiling support members.
This design provides a convenient method of supporting the speaker assembly while reducing installation labor.
The EZ Mount system is particularly useful for commercial audio installations involving multiple ceiling speakers.
Adjustable Support Rails Included
The AtlasIED EZ96-8 includes the support rails required for its EZ Mount installation system.
The rails can be adjusted vertically to accommodate the installation requirements.
Once positioned, they are secured to the enclosure brackets using the supplied screws.
This arrangement provides installers with a flexible mounting solution while reducing the need for additional mounting components.
Installation Benefits
- Adjustable support rails included
- Transfers speaker assembly weight to ceiling support members
- Eliminates the need for a separate tile bridge
- Reduces time-consuming screw mounting
- Supports efficient installation of compatible speaker assemblies
- Designed for suspended ceiling applications
Installers should follow AtlasIED mounting instructions and applicable building requirements when securing the enclosure.
Durable Welded Steel Construction
The EZ96-8 features welded cold-rolled steel (CRS) construction designed for professional ceiling speaker installations.
Its painted finish provides a durable exterior suitable for use above suspended ceilings.
The enclosure is also undercoated and lined with patch-jute material.
These treatments are designed to reduce mechanical and acoustical resonances that can occur within a speaker enclosure.
This construction makes the EZ96-8 a practical choice for commercial sound installations requiring a protective housing for compatible ceiling speakers.
Resonance-Reducing Enclosure Design
The AtlasIED EZ96-8 incorporates undercoating and patch-jute lining to help control unwanted enclosure resonance.
Mechanical vibration and acoustic resonance can affect the performance of ceiling speaker assemblies.
The enclosure's treated construction is designed to minimize these effects while providing a dedicated protective housing for the installed speaker.
This feature is useful in commercial paging and background music systems where consistent audio performance is important.
Compatible with Multiple AtlasIED Speaker Baffles
The EZ96-8 is designed to accommodate a variety of compatible AtlasIED speaker baffles.
According to the manufacturer's specifications, the enclosure supports the following models:
- G22-8
- 51-8
- 60-8(W)
- 61-8W
- 62-8
- 63-8
- 67-8(W)
- 68-8W
- 170-8
- M222
- M222W
- P900
This broad compatibility allows installers to use the EZ96-8 in different commercial ceiling speaker configurations.
Speaker drivers and baffles are separate components and are not included unless specifically stated in a product package.
Before ordering, confirm that the selected speaker and baffle combination is compatible with the enclosure.
Designed for Efficient Commercial Speaker Installation
The EZ96-8 is particularly useful in projects involving multiple ceiling-mounted speakers.
Traditional installation methods may require separate tile bridges and additional mounting hardware.
The EZ Mount system combines the enclosure and adjustable support rails into a coordinated mounting arrangement.
This helps installers reduce the number of separate components required for supported installations.
For commercial projects involving paging or distributed background music, the labor-saving design can simplify installation planning.
