SpeakerCraft Launches New 3-inch In-Ceiling Speaker

SpeakerCraft just announce the launch of a small speaker designed to mimic the look of a miniature can light. The NEAT 3 has a minimal footprint and no exterior bezel.

"Looking at the popularity of small flush-mounted spotlights inspired us to design a loudspeaker to match," says Jeremy Burkhardt, SpeakerCraft's CEO. "We know that homeowners prefer speakers that are less conspicuous and the NEAT 3 is just that."

Featuring a 3-inch full-range driver, this speaker can be installed in many locations, and its diminiutive size increases its application flexibility. Due to the size of the drivers a subwoofer is recommended, such as the SpeakerCraft BassX series or the new in-wall Cinema Subs.

Sharing the same installation process as the rest of the NEAT series, the NEAT 3 uses a two-piece bracket that snaps together inside the wall and is secured with drywall screws through the wall's surface. Mudding up to the bracket provides a clean edge that, after finished paint, leaves only the grill exposed.
