AtlasIED FA97 Series Extra Deep Recessed Enclosures for Strategy I Ceiling Speakers

The AtlasIED FA97 Series offers acoustically treated, recessed enclosures designed for high-performance installations using 4″, 6″, and 8″ Strategy I ceiling loudspeakers. These extra-deep models provide optimal low-frequency response, making them ideal for applications demanding clarity in both music and voice.

Engineered for fast and secure ceiling installation, each model features flip-tab dog ears compatible with ceiling depths up to 2 3/8″. The enclosures use a front-loading design that mounts speakers directly, eliminating grille load stress and supporting tool-free, push-on grille attachment. The FA97 Series is available in standard models with pre-punched conduit knockouts and in “NK” (No Knockout) versions, which are sealed for compliance with fire codes, plenum use, or cleanroom environments.
