Dynamat DynaBox

Features

Overview: DynaBox is a revolutionary acoustic barrier for in-ceiling speakers. DynaBox consists of a combination of flexible sound barrier vinyl, the SoundSnake acoustic decoupler, and noise absorbing back-wave foam. DynaBox completely encases the speaker, which effectively reduces sound migration between rooms, ceilings, & floors. DynaBox projects more clear sound into the room & reduces unwanted sound traveling outside the room.

Installation Instructions: DynaBox features a flexible design which enables it to be completely collapsed for easy retrofit installation. DynaBox can also be installed in new construction.

• Step 1 (Prep Box): Ensure the ceiling hole is cut to fit your in-ceiling speaker installation requirements. See your speaker installation instructions for complete directions & template. Using a razor knife, cut the DynaBox hole to fit your in-ceiling speaker, as well. If running speaker wires inside the box, cut a small slit on the side of the box to run wires (speaker wires can be run inside or outside of the DynaBox).
• Step 2 (Insert Box): Tightly roll box with the hole on the inside. Grip box tightly and place through the existing ceiling opening. Expand box and position over ceiling opening.
• Step 3 (Insert SoundSnake): Tightly roll the SoundSnake with the wider foam side toward the inside of the roll. Grip tightly and place through the existing ceiling opening in to the DynaBox. Expand and adjust to line the inside walls of the box. The smaller foam side of the SoundSnake should be toward the outside of the box.
• Step 4 (Insert back-wave Foam): Remote the white paper backing from the back-wave foam. Fold in half with sticky side out. Place through opening and apply the self adhesive (sticky) side to the top of the box.
• Step 5 (Seal Box): Apply a bead of contractors glue or silicon caulking around the outside perimeter of the DynaBox hole.
• Step 6 (Install Speaker): Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your in-ceiling speaker installation.
