Frequently asked questions
Which bracket should I use if I'm installing both Control 19CS and Control 226C speakers in the same house?
Use the MTC-19NC, which is compatible with both models. The MTC-26NC only fits Control 26C/26CT, so it would not work for this mixed installation.
Are these brackets suitable for retrofit/existing walls, or only new construction?
Both are designed for pre-installation before drywall application. For retrofitting into existing walls, you would need a different bracket type not covered here.
What's the main difference in mounting design between these two?
The MTC-19NC uses a flat sheetmetal design with reinforced wings and serves as a cutout template. The MTC-26NC is pre-drilled for standard on-center spacing (16" and 24"), eliminating field drilling for typical framing layouts.
Can I space the MTC-26NC brackets beyond the pre-drilled 24" standard?
Yes, additional mounting holes can be drilled up to a maximum spacing of 24.75", providing flexibility for non-standard framing, though this requires field modification.
