The JBL MTC-42NC is a professional mounting arm accessory designed to provide flexible and secure positioning for specific JBL 4200 series compact two-way loudspeakers. This arm facilitates optimal placement in installation environments where traditional mounting brackets are insufficient, such as in conference rooms, courtrooms, control rooms, or retail spaces where the speaker needs to be extended away from a wall or structure and precisely aimed. The articulated design allows for multi-axis adjustment, typically offering extension, tilt, and sometimes swivel capabilities, enabling the installer to direct the speaker's coverage pattern exactly where it is needed for the best possible audio clarity and coverage. This is critical for ensuring even sound distribution and achieving the desired acoustic performance in challenging or acoustically treated rooms.

Constructed from heavy-gauge steel with a durable black finish, the MTC-42NC is engineered for stability and longevity. Its design includes integrated cable management to neatly route speaker wire along the arm, contributing to a clean, professional installation appearance. The arm attaches to the loudspeaker via a compatible bracket or mounting plate and secures to a wall or ceiling structure using a robust base plate. All pivot points feature positive locking mechanisms, often tool-free knobs or set screws, which allow the speaker to be positioned and then locked firmly in place, preventing any drift or movement over time.

Installation is straightforward but requires attention to ensure the mounting surface can support the combined weight of the arm and speaker. By offering a versatile and robust mounting solution, the JBL MTC-42NC Mounting Arm enhances the functionality of compatible JBL speakers, allowing system integrators to overcome physical constraints and achieve precise acoustic placement, thereby maximizing the performance and value of the audio system in commercial and institutional installations.
