Application:
The BackboxCV200 is an easy to install, sound proofing backbox for the Amina
Evolution Series S200 narrow format speaker models. For use in plasterboard cavity
walls (drywalls) and ceilings, the BackboxCV200 creates a sealed enclosure around the
back of the speaker utilising a specially designed composite sound proofing layer. The
BackboxCV200 is recommended for multispeaker installations where the cavity loading
the backbox provides will ensure consistent sound quality from all speaker locations.
Installation:
The BackboxCV200 is designed to be retrofitted into the plasterboard wall or ceiling.
Importantly it is fixed to the plasterboard only (not surrounding studwork) which
reduces potential energy transfer to the wall/ceiling joists. Our detailed installation
guide provides information on how to achieve the correct speaker face alignment for
different types of plaster finishes and plasterboard thicknesses. Optional alignment
shims are also available.
Sound Proofing Characteristic:
The graph below shows the sound pressure level attenuation of an Amina AIW Evolution
Series speaker’s rearward output when installed in a BackboxCV200. Over the 150Hz
– 5KHz range the rear firing airborne sound pressure is reduced on average by 21dB.
It is recommended that additional sound proofing steps are taken if your speakers are
installed in a wall or ceiling where bedrooms or other occupied rooms are directly
adjacent. The BackboxCV200 cannot stop mechanically induced noise transmission
inherent in certain building structures.
