Flexson releases a direct in-ceiling mount for Sonos Era 100 and One speakers, removing the need for separate amplifiers or equipment racks.
Audio accessory manufacturer Flexson has expanded its trade-focused catalog with the launch of an In-Ceiling Mount designed specifically for Sonos smart speakers. The new bracket (FLXE100ICM1011) allows AV installers and electricians to fit active speakers directly into ceiling voids, creating a flush, integrated audio setup.
The unit is engineered to house the Sonos Era 100, Era 100 Pro, Sonos One, and One SL models. By holding the active speaker within the ceiling cavity, the hardware eliminates the requirement for external amplifiers, speaker switches, or dedicated AV racks that traditional passive ceiling speaker installations demand.
Installing multi-room audio historically involved running passive speaker cables back to a central rack containing multi-channel power amps. Flexson's dedicated housing allows sparkies and smart home installers to run standard mains power or suitable low-voltage cabling straight to the speaker location, reducing cable runs and simplifying second-fix tasks.
The mount offers an architectural-style finish that sits flush against plasterboard ceilings, matching standard downlight aesthetics and clean interior designs preferred in high-end domestic renovations and commercial fit-outs.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For electricians and AV specialists, this mount changes the cost-to-install ratio on retrofits and domestic refurbishments. Because it utilizes standard active Sonos units rather than traditional unpowered ceiling speakers, tradespeople can quote customers a modern multi-room sound system without forcing them to buy expensive rack-mounted hardware or external amps like the Sonos Amp.
When purchasing, installers need to factor in ceiling void depths and structural joist spacing before cutting holes, as active Sonos speakers are significantly deeper than standard passive architectural speakers. Tradespeople using standard hole saws or pad saws should verify product dimensions carefully before first-fix cabling. The mount can be sourced through specialist electrical wholesalers and trade AV distributors, offering a straightforward upsell opportunity on residential re-wires and media room projects.
