JBL MTC-200BB6 Cylindrical Backcan For Control 227C/CT

JBL MTC-200BB6 Cylindrical Backcan For Control 227C/CT

The MTC-200BB6 is a professional-grade cylindrical backcan engineered to optimize in-ceiling loudspeaker installations where acoustic performance and structural integrity directly impact recording and playback quality. This purpose-built enclosure is designed to maximize the output and reliability of JBL's Control series medium-format speakers in studio monitoring and production environments. Built with heavy-duty materials and multiple cable entry points, it handles the demands of permanent studio installations with straightforward, no-compromise construction.

Acoustic Design & Volume

The 0.5 cubic foot internal volume provides the acoustic compliance needed to optimize the performance characteristics of Control 227C and 227CT loudspeakers in your monitoring chain. The 0.7 cubic foot nominal external volume ensures proper air movement and prevents cabinet resonance that would degrade mix translation and frequency response accuracy during critical listening and mixing sessions.

Construction & Installation

Heavy-duty 16 gauge metal construction paired with 12 mm MDF lining creates a rigid, acoustically damped enclosure that resists vibration and maintains consistent sonic characteristics through extended recording and mixing work. Five knockouts (one top, four sides) with 22.1 mm diameter openings provide flexible routing for conduit and cable without compromising structural integrity or requiring field modifications during studio setup.
