Description
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.

- 12 mm (1/2 inch) thick MDF acoustic lining
- Five knockouts with 22.1 mm (0.87") diameter for cable entry
- Net weight: 6.5 lbs
- Designed for Control 227C and 227CT medium-format in-ceiling loudspeakers
- U.L.-2043, U.L.-1480, NFPA90, NFPA70A, and IEC60849/EN60849 compliant
The MTC-200BB6 delivers the acoustic support and installation flexibility required for professional studio monitoring systems where reliability and sonic accuracy are essential to mix decisions.
