Valcom VB-R17-D Recessed Mount Backbox
The VB-R17-D is a recessed mounting backbox for flush-installing Valcom IP speakers and horns into a wall or ceiling cavity, keeping the finished device flush to the surface instead of surface-projecting on a mounting plate. It's the right pick when the install spec calls for a clean, low-profile finish — classrooms, corridors, and offices where a surface-mount box would be an eyesore or a code issue.
Compatibility
The VB-R17-D pairs with Valcom's recessed-mount speaker and horn lines within the same mounting family, and is listed alongside related accessories in the same catalog section — including the V-TBAR trim ring (10-pack) for finishing the flush opening and the V-9816M HiFi bridge and backbox for paging/audio bridging applications. Confirm the specific speaker or horn model in your bill of materials calls for a recessed rather than surface or pendant mount before ordering, since Valcom's backbox hardware is mount-type specific.
Installation Notes
At roughly 4 lb, the VB-R17-D adds minimal load to the wall or ceiling cavity it's set into, so standard framing anchors are sufficient for most in-wall installs. It ships in Architectural Bronze, White (-W), or Custom Colors (-CC) to match the faceplate trim to the surrounding wall finish — worth specifying up front since color is a factory order option, not a field change. Pair it with the V-TBAR trim ring if the opening needs a finished bezel edge.
