A Listed assembly requires that the enclosed loudspeaker is not exposed within the air handling plenum. Wiring, and/or conduit enclosure entry fittings, and installation must comply with local codes. Many local codes require a separate enclosure assembly with customer-supplied "tie-off" wire to secure the assembly to the top of the building structure.

NOTE: All cable splices and connections to Speaker/Transformer pigtails must be made inside of Listed enclosure.
