JBL MTC-TB6/8 Tile-bridge For Control 200 & 300 Series B-Stock
Description
JBL MTC-TB6/8 Tile-bridge For Control 200 & 300 Series
The MTC-TB6/8 is a professional-grade mounting solution engineered for seamless integration into suspended ceiling installations. This tile-bridge system stabilizes Control 227C/227CT and Control 328C/328CT loudspeakers within standard 24-inch (600 mm) ceiling grids, eliminating the rattle and vibration transmission that compromises acoustic performance in commercial installations.
Installation & Compatibility
Designed to work with either the MTC-200BB6 backcan (for Control 227 series) or the MTC-300BB8 backcan (for Control 328 series), this tile-bridge mounts directly to 24-inch ceiling grid systems. The over-the-grid design decouples the speaker from the ceiling structure, significantly reducing unwanted noise transmission and grid rattle that would otherwise degrade audio clarity in offices, retail, and hospitality environments.
Build & Durability
Constructed from heavy-duty 18-gauge steel with an epoxy-based powdercoat finish, the MTC-TB6/8 delivers long-term durability in demanding commercial settings. The robust materials resist corrosion and maintain structural integrity under sustained load, ensuring reliable performance across years of deployment.

Reviews
At a Glance
The JBL MTC-TB6/8 is a vibration-decoupling mount designed to anchor Control 227 and Control 328 ceiling speakers to standard 24-inch grid systems while isolating them acoustically from the building structure. The over-the-grid design and heavy-duty steel construction prevent ceiling rattle and structural noise from contaminating your recorded or monitored audio in studio and installation environments. This is essential for capturing clean, grid-noise-free recordings and maintaining pristine monitoring during sessions in professionally treated rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and what's the condition of this unit?
B-Stock means the MTC-TB6/8 is fully functional and performs identically to new stock, but may have minor cosmetic imperfections such as scratches, dents, or finish marks that do not affect performance or durability. The epoxy powdercoat and structural integrity remain intact.
Which JBL Control speakers does this mount work with?
The MTC-TB6/8 is compatible with Control 227C/227CT speakers (paired with the MTC-200BB6 backcan) and Control 328C/328CT speakers (paired with the MTC-300BB8 backcan). It mounts directly to standard 24-inch (600 mm) suspended ceiling grids.
How does this improve sound quality in my installation?
The over-the-grid design acoustically decouples the speaker from the ceiling structure, eliminating vibration transmission and grid rattle that would otherwise bleed into the audio and muddy clarity. This isolation is critical in offices, retail, venues, and studios where clean, isolated monitoring or reinforcement is required.
What's the load capacity and long-term durability?
The MTC-TB6/8 is engineered from 18-gauge steel with an epoxy-based powdercoat finish to resist corrosion and handle sustained load across years of professional deployment. Each unit weighs 2.1 kg (4.5 lb) and is rated for reliable performance in demanding commercial and live-sound environments.
How many units do I need, and what's included in the box?
The MTC-TB6/8 is sold as a package of 6 units per box, allowing you to outfit multiple ceiling-mounted speakers in a larger installation or multi-room venue setup.
