About the JBL MTU-4 U-Bracket for AC2212/xx Two-Way Loudspeaker System
The JBL MTU-4 U-Bracket is a heavy-duty mounting accessory specifically engineered for the secure installation of the AC2212 Two-Way Loudspeaker System. This bracket facilitates the permanent mounting of these substantial full-range loudspeakers onto walls, ceilings, or structural supports in demanding commercial and installed sound applications. Its primary role is to provide a robust and reliable mechanical interface capable of safely supporting the considerable weight of the loudspeaker cabinet while enabling precise directional adjustment post-installation. The design emphasizes structural integrity and long-term safety, utilizing high-strength, powder-coated steel components to ensure secure attachment in venues such as auditoriums, houses of worship, performing arts centers, and large retail spaces where both audio performance and installation safety are paramount.
The bracket's functionality centers on providing installers with flexible aiming capabilities. It typically employs a substantial, lockable adjustment mechanism, such as a large hand-knobbed bolt or a geared pivot, that allows for a wide range of vertical tilt. This precise adjustability is crucial for optimally directing the speaker's coverage pattern to the intended listening area, ensuring uniform sound distribution and overcoming acoustic challenges presented by room architecture. Integrated safety cable attachment points are a standard and critical feature, providing redundant support to meet building codes and ensure absolute safety, especially in overhead installations over public areas.
Designed for a professional, finished appearance, the MTU-4 U-Bracket includes all necessary mounting hardware for attachment to both the loudspeaker and the building structure. Its low-profile design minimizes visual intrusion, allowing the loudspeaker itself to be the visual focus. The installation process is engineered for straightforward assembly, with clear attachment points that securely mate with the loudspeaker's built-in rigging hardware. By combining immense holding strength with precise aiming control, this U-bracket effectively transforms a powerful loudspeaker system into a permanently installed, code-compliant audio solution that delivers reliable, high-fidelity sound reinforcement for years of service.
