Control your space with a Backbox
Whichever speaker you choose, a Backbox can help give consistent audio performance and limit rearward sound transmission. This means more sound for you and less for everyone else. Whether cavity or solid wall, or even in the ceiling, we have a Backbox to suit.
Application:
The BackboxCV345 is an easy to install, sound proofing backbox for the Amina
Evolution Series speaker models. For use in plasterboard cavity walls (drywalls) and
ceilings, the BackboxCV345 creates a sealed enclosure around the back of the
speaker utilising a specially designed composite sound proofing layer. The
BackboxCV345 is recommended for multispeaker installations where the cavity loading
the backbox provides will ensure consistent sound quality from all speaker locations.
Installation:
The BackboxCV345 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 BackboxCV345. Over the 150Hz
– 5KHz range the rear firing airborne sound pressure is reduced on average by 26dB.
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 BackboxCV345 cannot stop mechanically induced noise transmission
inherent in certain building structures.
