  • Pre-cut aluminum panel eliminates manual tile cutting and reduces installation errors

Installation Panel

The Algo 81X8T2X2 is a 24 by 24 inch aluminum T-bar panel that replaces a standard drop ceiling tile. It provides a pre-cut mounting surface for Algo 8188 SIP, 8198 PoE+ SIP and 1198 Satellite ceiling speakers. The white painted finish can be repainted to match surrounding tiles. TAA compliance qualifies it for federal procurement projects.

Drop Ceiling Constraints

The panel fits only 2 by 2 foot grid systems and adds 6.3 pounds of weight to the suspension wires. Its 0.04 inch thickness offers no acoustic absorption and no fire rating beyond the base aluminum material. Installers must verify that the existing grid can support the extra load and that local code permits metal tile replacements.

Speaker Compatibility

This panel is engineered exclusively for the three Algo speaker models listed above; no other speaker or device will align with the factory cutout. Buyers who need to mount a different brand or a larger driver must source a different mounting solution.

Questions about this item

Which Algo ceiling speakers does the 81X8T2X2 panel fit?

The 24 by 24 inch aluminum panel is pre-cut for the 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker, the 8198 PoE+ SIP Ceiling Speaker and the 1198 Satellite Ceiling Speaker including InformaCast versions.

What does the 0.04 inch panel thickness mean when it is mounted in a drop ceiling?

At 1.0 millimetre thick the painted aluminum sheet adds negligible depth above the tile plane while giving a rigid, flat surface that will not sag as acoustic tiles age.

How does the T-bar mounting standard limit the panel's use?

The 609.6 millimetre square panel fits only standard 2 by 2 foot drop-ceiling grids; it cannot be used on hard ceilings, plaster or non-standard grid spacing.
