Description
JBL MTC-14WG High Humidity Weather Grille For C12/C14, White
The MTC-14WG is a purpose-built protective grille engineered for outdoor and high-humidity studio installations where moisture and driving rain present a threat to speaker longevity. This weather-resistant accessory mounts directly onto JBL Control 12C/T and 14C/T ceiling speakers, offering robust protection without compromising acoustic performance. Installation is straightforward via press-fit mounting, making it an essential upgrade for recording facilities, covered studio spaces, and other moisture-prone monitoring environments.
Weather Protection & Materials
Constructed from aluminum alloy with a durable powder-coated satin finish, the grille resists rust and pitting while maintaining a clean, color-matched appearance. A scrim glued to the back breaks up driving precipitation, preventing water from reaching the speaker cone and preserving driver integrity in demanding conditions.
Dimensions & Installation
Measuring 25" height × 14" depth × 0.95" thickness with a 6.20" (Ø 158) diameter opening, the grille fits precisely over compatible Control speakers. Press-fit installation is designed for direct mounting—applying pressure toward the edges prevents denting and ensures secure, lasting attachment.
