Abstract
An apparatus for mounting an audio control in a wall is disclosed. The apparatus includes a wall-mountable housing having cleats on the front inner rim thereof and a first set of horizontal ribs spaced equally along the interior walls thereof. An audio control housing is provided for supporting the audio control and engagement of the audio control to the wall-mounted housing. The audio control housing includes flex fingers with ridges formed thereon. The flex finger ridges are operative to retractably engage the cleats to secure the audio control housing within the wall-mounted housing. The ridges are set at different spacings apart so that the audio control housing may be engagably received within the wall-mounted housing set at different depths.
