Abstract: A speaker support system is adapted for use in a suspended ceiling with grid openings and ceiling panels. The system has a speaker support base capable of supporting at least one speaker within a ceiling opening without interfering with the operation of the speaker. A guide flange is integral to the speaker support base and is adapted to align at least a portion of a ceiling tile within the grid opening. A support flange having an offset at each end is integral to the system, connected to the guide flange, and supports at least a portion of the ceiling tile within the ceiling grid opening so that the opening is filled with the speaker support base and the remaining portion of the opening is filled with ceiling tile. The base and guide flange are formed from a single piece of material, which is perforated substantially to at least some of the edges thereof.

Abstract: A lay-in tile type system is disclosed for supporting speakers in a new or existing suspended ceiling includes a perforated base section providing maximum free air space. A perforated surface also helps the lay-in tile system blend in with the overall suspended ceiling in which the system is installed. The system further provides integral flanges that form a T-shaped member to support at least a portion of an adjacent ceiling tile, obviating the need to purchase, cut and install a replacement grid member. The base and the flanges are constructed from a single sheet of material that is folded to form the flanges. The base is sized to fit within a portion of a conventional ceiling tile grid opening, and has substantially ninety degree comers so that the ceiling grid opening is completed by a ceiling tile sized with a simple straight cut, simplifying installation.
