The JBL MTU-16 is a dedicated U-bracket mounting accessory designed for the secure and versatile installation of the JBL AC16 and compatible all-weather loudspeakers. This heavy-duty bracket provides a robust mechanical interface, enabling the loudspeaker to be mounted on walls, corners, or vertical poles in outdoor or harsh indoor environments where exposure to the elements is a concern. Its primary function is to offer installers a flexible and reliable solution for precisely aiming the loudspeaker to achieve optimal acoustic coverage while ensuring the entire assembly remains stable and secure over the long term, meeting the demands of commercial, industrial, and institutional sound reinforcement applications.

Constructed from corrosion-resistant, powder-coated steel, the U-bracket is engineered for durability and longevity in challenging conditions. The design typically features a pivoting or adjustable interface that attaches to the loudspeaker's integrated mounting points, allowing for vertical tilt adjustment to direct the sound coverage as needed. The bracket itself is designed to be fastened securely to a flat wall surface, a 90-degree corner, or around a pipe or pole using the included hardware kit. This adaptability makes it an essential accessory for tailoring the installation to the specific architectural and acoustic requirements of venues such as stadiums, theme parks, parking structures, and building perimeters.

As a genuine JBL accessory, the MTU-16 is manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit with the AC16 loudspeaker and maintaining the integrity of the speaker's weatherproof design when properly installed. It simplifies the installation process by providing a complete, purpose-built mounting solution that eliminates the need for custom fabrication. By ensuring secure attachment and offering aiming flexibility, this U-bracket contributes significantly to the overall performance, reliability, and professional finish of the audio system in demanding all-weather environments.
