The JBL MTC-24NC is a new construction mounting bracket engineered for the secure and compliant rough-in installation of specific JBL Control Contractor series ceiling loudspeakers during the initial phases of building construction or major renovation. This bracket is designed to provide a rigid, code-compliant structural support system for speakers such as the Control 24C, 24CT, and 24 models, ensuring they are properly positioned and anchored before the ceiling drywall is installed. Its primary function is to create a permanent, reliable interface between the building's framing and the loudspeaker, facilitating a professional installation that meets safety standards and provides long-term durability in commercial and residential settings.

Constructed from heavy-gauge, galvanized steel, the bracket is built to be nailed or screwed directly to ceiling joists, offering a robust platform that can support the speaker's weight and prevent any sagging or movement over time. The design is tailored to the specific dimensions and mounting requirements of the compatible loudspeaker models, allowing for precise alignment and a seamless fit once the ceiling finish is applied. This pre-wire solution includes ample open space for easy routing and connection of speaker cables during the rough-in phase, streamlining the overall installation process for electricians and audio integrators.

This accessory is an essential tool for system integrators and contractors who require a manufacturer-approved method for installing ceiling speakers in new buildings or during significant remodels. By providing a dedicated structural mount, the MTC-24NC bracket ensures that the final installation is not only acoustically optimal but also mechanically secure, contributing to the overall quality, safety, and longevity of the architectural audio system. It reflects a professional approach to integration, where the supporting hardware is as critical as the loudspeaker itself for a successful, permanent installation.
