Frequently asked questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock typically refers to open-box, returned, or refurbished inventory that is functionally identical to new but may have cosmetic imperfections or missing original packaging. It carries a lower price and may have limited warranty.
Are the specs and compatibility identical between the two?
Yes. Both are the same MTC-26MR bracket: 24 × 14.5 × 4 inches, 7.15 lb per unit, six-pack quantity, compatible with Control 26C and 26CT speakers, and designed for drywall and plaster installations.
Will B-Stock affect my installation quality?
No. Since mud-ring brackets are concealed behind finished drywall and joint compound, cosmetic wear is invisible once installed. The structural and load-bearing performance is identical.
