The Niles Audio NCB7C Installation Bracket is the perfect compliment to a Niles Audio 7-inch DS Series in-ceiling/in-wall loudspeaker. This bracket is designed to be used during the new-construction (or pre-construction) phase of a build to rough-in the location of your speakers. There are several features that make this ideal for your in-wall or in-ceiling speaker project. The arms (or wings) are translucent and have center markings which allow you to make visual adjustments to the stud, up to 90° . The bracket can either be screwed or stapled into place, and for easy reference, the bracket is color coded.


The hole saving bracket enables a faster and cleaner final installation of the loudspeaker. It forces the drywall installer to cut out the loudspeaker hole for you and provides wire ties for the loudspeaker wire, reducing the risks of accidental loss or movement of the wire. In addition, it enables you to align your loudspeakers with other ceiling fixtures with great accuracy since you can really see exactly where the loudspeaker will be. To install the bracket, first pivot the long wing out until it stops, which will be in straight line with the short wing. The wings and brackets have centering lines to simplify placement of the loudspeakers. Screw one side of the assembled bracket with wings to the joist using one of the supplied screws. Level the bracket. Screw the other side of the bracket/wing assembly to the joist. Two screws on each side make for a very secure installation. Secure the wire to the bracket using bracket's wire tie tab. The drywall installers will cut the drywall to the exact size of the bracket. Attach the loudspeaker wire in a loop between the ceiling joists and carefully mark the exact location of the wire on a set of plans. Ask the general contractor to inform the drywall installers that the loudspeaker wire loops are concealed for future installations.
