I bought 6 of these mounts based on an earlier review of someone replacing a Nutone intercom system with Echo Dots. I had a similar setup, but the old intercom speakers didn't work properly and were expensive to replace with an updated system ($1k+). With the help of this mount I was able to use the existing wiring to create a much more upgraded and advanced system! I had little electrical experience going into this project but was able to consult a local electrician for advice. Once you know the wiring and the transformer setup it's SUPER easy! I purchased the transformer used by the previous reviewer who did this (make sure to switch from 220v to 110v on the transformer switch if your setup is like mine). I numbered all of my wiring connections as I took them off the old control board and added to transformer to make troubleshooting easier down the road. I only needed two of the three wires from the existing intercom wiring to make the system work (I used the red and blue wires and left the white one unused). I connected the red wires to the DC+ output of transformer and blue wires to DC- output, so that when I spliced the wiring from the provided wiring harness for the mount it was a red-to-red connection (make sure to cut the female end of the wiring harness that comes with the mounts). After wiring and confirming each Echo powered on properly, I began installing the mounts (I had to cutout drywall to fit the old intercom area and then had a handyman mud and tape each one to give a professional look). I used a 4 3/8" hole saw for recessed lighting and had to expand a little bit with a drywall saw to fit the mount. Once it was completed, I had an amazingly upgraded intercom and whole-house music system for the fraction of the cost of replacing the existing intercoms! I installed a spring-based access panel where the old radio and control board was located and left the new transformer in the existing housing. Very happy with the system and very happy with the customer service!

Excellent.

The media could not be loaded. Honestly such a great product. Super simple idea but really well executed. Will report back when I get the speakers in place but work incredibly well getting the box in place and having a high end look.6 Month Update: they still work like day one. Man what a great product. I can’t recommend them enough. I put 12 Nest/GH Minis in my house and having them ceiling mounted is a game changer. The mic works better than it ever did because it’s never obstructed by something in front of it on the counter or an end table or whatever. Sound quality is not diminished at all by the speaker grate either. Really is an amazing solution. I also recommend using the PoE adapters Mount Genie has for an even easier install.Thank you!

I am throughly satisfied with this. I'm a professional installer and depend on these! Great quality and so easy to install. A must for all POE installs.

Not too bad. Would’ve been nice if everything (mount + PoE) came together as one package.
