Origin Acoustics has announced a new retrofittable Universal Fire Enclosure. The Intertek/ETL certified UFE1160 speaker cover is a dome-shaped intumescent enclosure, specifically designed to keep the integrity of fire-resistant ceilings for ONE HOUR with in-ceiling speakers. This product is retrofittable and is certified to work with any speaker with a diameter between 5 7/8” and 10 5/8”.

• Expands up to five times its original size and fills in voids to prevent flames from spreading during a fire.
• 60 minutes of protection.
• Installation requires no screws, no drilling or sealants require.
• Pre-construction and retrofit installation options.
• Unique material offers acoustic benefits.

According to Origin, a second benefit of the proprietary intumescent material is its sound-absorbing properties. The UFE1160 significantly reduces sound transference and can enhance the sound quality of certain speakers, making it the perfect accessory for every speaker in the home.
