Frequently asked questions
Can these products work together or on the same speaker?
No. The MTC-14WG fits JBL Control 12C/T and 14C/T models only. The MTC-TB6/8 is designed for Control 227C/227CT and Control 328C/328CT models. They are not compatible with each other or with the same speaker.
Which is better for an indoor commercial office space?
The MTC-TB6/8 is the correct choice for indoor commercial installations. It mounts to suspended ceiling grids, isolates vibration, and eliminates grid rattle. The MTC-14WG is designed for outdoor protection and would be unnecessary indoors.
Is the MTC-14WG grille acoustically transparent?
Yes. The MTC-14WG is engineered to be acoustically transparent so it does not color or degrade the speaker's tone while protecting it from weather and moisture.
What surfaces do these mount to?
The MTC-14WG press-fits directly onto compatible Control ceiling speaker housings. The MTC-TB6/8 mounts over a standard 24-inch suspended ceiling grid using backcans, not directly to speakers.
