Monitor Audio CFB3-R Round Pre-Construction Bracket for CF230 / ICS-8

The Monitor Audio CFB3-R is a round pre-construction bracket designed for the CF230 and ICS-8 ceiling speakers, allowing a flush, trimless finish in new-build or renovation projects. It is fitted before the plasterboard goes up, with the surrounding plaster skimmed directly up to the bracket edge for a seamless, almost invisible installation. This solution suits installers planning ahead for a discreet ceiling speaker finish where the grille sits flush with the surrounding surface.

Why we like it

• Enables a genuinely flush, trimless appearance around the round grille
• Designed specifically to pair with the CF230 and ICS-8 speakers
• Fitted pre-construction, simplifying the final finish once plasterboard and skim are complete
• Supplied as a single bracket, one required per speaker
• Straightforward complement to new-build or first-fix installation schedules

Installation notes

The CFB3-R is installed during the first-fix stage, prior to plasterboard being fitted, with plaster then skimmed up to the bracket to create the flush edge. One bracket is required per speaker location. It is intended for use with the CF230 or ICS-8 ceiling speakers; please refer to the relevant speaker's installation guide for cut-out size and mounting depth requirements, as these are determined by the speaker itself rather than the bracket.
