The JBL MTU-26 U-Bracket is a precision mounting accessory specifically engineered for the secure installation of the AC26 Ultra Compact Two-Way Loudspeaker. This bracket enables the transformation of a portable loudspeaker into a discreet, permanently installed audio solution, ideal for commercial environments where aesthetic subtlety and clear sound reinforcement are equally important. Its core function is to provide a robust and reliable mechanical interface that safely supports the speaker's weight on a wall or ceiling while offering installers the crucial ability to aim the acoustic output precisely. The U-shaped cradle design securely holds the loudspeaker, and a substantial, lockable adjustment mechanism facilitates a wide range of vertical tilt angles. This adjustability is essential for directing the speaker's coverage pattern to the specific listening area, ensuring optimal sound distribution in spaces like conference rooms, retail stores, reception areas, and boutique hospitality settings.

Constructed from durable, powder-coated steel, the bracket is built for long-term reliability and strength, capable of supporting the loudspeaker securely over years of service. The design incorporates critical safety features, most notably integrated attachment points for a safety cable. This provides redundant support, a vital requirement for compliance with safety codes, particularly in overhead installations where public safety is paramount. All necessary mounting hardware is typically included, and the bracket features a low-profile design that minimizes its visual presence, allowing the compact form of the AC26 loudspeaker to remain the focal point. The installation process is streamlined, with clear attachment points ensuring a secure and straightforward fit between the bracket and the loudspeaker's built-in rigging points.

Beyond its primary mounting and aiming functions, the MTU-26 U-Bracket contributes to a clean, professional installation. It often includes considerations for basic cable management, aiding in the neat routing and concealment of speaker wire. By combining secure mounting hardware with precise, lockable adjustability, this accessory effectively extends the utility of the ultra-compact loudspeaker, enabling it to be deployed as a fixed, code-compliant audio solution that delivers reliable, high-fidelity sound with precise coverage control.
