Spotlight: Designing Creator Series Mount Boxes

3rd September 2025

We sit down with Senior Product Designer Beth Bailey to discuss her input in the creation of the Creator Series Mount Boxes and why they’re such a useful addition to the range.

Briefly introduce yourself and your role at Monitor Audio.

Hi, I’m Beth. I’ve been working as a junior product designer within the product design team at Monitor Audio for the past year

What are the key improvements the Mount Boxes bring to the Creator Series?

The new Mount Boxes give our Creator Series speakers their own dedicated space to perform in. That means more consistent sound, especially in projects where the room build or wall cavity isn’t ideal. They also make life easier for installers. The design and installation is simple, cable management is neat, and everything just feels more straightforward.

From a design perspective, what sets these Mount Boxes apart from typical in-wall or in-ceiling enclosures?

The big difference is that these aren’t generic “one-size-fits-all” boxes. We designed them specifically to match the different size models within the Creator Series range, using the right materials and dimensions so the sound is exactly as it should be. You know that when you use one of these boxes, you’ll get reliable, repeatable performance every time.

The Mount Boxes are clearly functional, but you’ve also added some design touches. Can you tell us about those?

Yes, even though they’re built to be practical, we didn’t want them to feel too utilitarian. We added a delicate grille with a subtle shadow gap to give it a clean, sophisticated look. The cloth is carefully chosen for its acoustic transparency, and the colours are deliberately understated so they blend into any room.

We’ve also included a magnetic MA logo badge that can be removed, and on the WM model can placed in portrait or landscape orientation. It’s a small touch, but it adds flexibility and a bit of style.

How do the Mount Boxes help installers in real-world projects?

We’ve designed the Mount Boxes with installers in mind. The slotted screw holes mean installers don’t have to worry about getting the markings perfect on the first try, they have the flexibility to make small adjustments and get everything level once the box is in place.

We’ve also included a keyhole fixing, which makes ceiling installations much easier. Installers can rest the box in place before tightening it up properly, taking a lot of the strain off their arms. It’s all about making the process quicker, more forgiving, and less stressful on site.
