Frequently asked questions

Can I use the CSS-BB4X6 backcan with speakers other than the CSS8004?

No. The CSS-BB4X6 is purpose-built specifically for the CSS8004 speaker and is designed to integrate with the CSS-TR4/8 tile rail mounting system for that model.

Will the MTC-SG6/8 grille fit on Control 100 Series or other JBL speakers?

No. The MTC-SG6/8 is a direct-fit grille designed only for JBL Control 200 and Control 300 Series loudspeakers.

What is the main functional difference between these two products?

The CSS-BB4X6 is a structural mounting assembly that installs speakers into suspended ceilings, while the MTC-SG6/8 is a protective grille that mounts on the front of existing Control Series speakers. They serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.

Are both products suitable for hospitality venues?

Yes, both are designed for commercial hospitality installations. The CSS-BB4X6 handles speaker mounting in ceiling systems, and the MTC-SG6/8 provides speaker protection in those same environments.
