Lowell LBS8-R1 Tile Bridge for Speaker

Keep suspended ceilings secure and professional-looking while supporting in‑ceiling speakers. The Lowell Manufacturing LBS8-R1 Tile Bridge for Speaker is designed to distribute the weight of an 8" driver speaker across a 23.75" x 15.5" formed steel plate, reducing tile deflection and maintaining aesthetic integrity in retail, education, healthcare and security environments. Constructed of 24‑gauge galvanized steel with a 10.75" diameter opening, the LBS8-R1 provides a rigid, corrosion‑resistant mounting surface that also accommodates screw‑mount or torsion grilles. Multiple wire‑tie points allow for seismic anchoring to meet local building and safety codes—critical for installations tied into security, surveillance and monitoring systems. Its ability to be used with or without a backbox gives integrators flexibility for sound performance and code compliance without adding unnecessary complexity. Choose the LBS8-R1 when you need a reliable, code‑aware ceiling support solution that streamlines AV and security speaker installs. Order now to protect your ceiling infrastructure and ensure a compliant, long‑lasting installation.
