“Are these speakers IC rated? I.E. can insulation be placed close to/over them or does it need to remain a certain distance away?”

In ceiling speakers do not have an IC or Non IC rating the way recessed cans so. You can safely place insulation directly on top of the speakers. Use caution if the material is blown insulation as it will fill the basket. For blown insulation use an in ceiling speaker boxer fabricate a box out of foam board. Fiberglass batts pose no issue and can rest directly on top of the speaker. If the speakers are in a ceiling prone to mice then I would also recommend in ceiling speaker boxes to protect the speakers.

If you are concerned about keeping the insulation away from the back of the speaker, we do sell a back box that can attached to the back of the speaker.
