Frequently asked questions
What is B-Stock?
B-Stock typically refers to open-box, returned, or refurbished inventory that functions identically to new product but may have cosmetic imperfections or limited warranty coverage. Specifications and performance are unchanged.
Are these brackets compatible with all JBL ceiling speakers?
No. Both versions are specifically engineered for JBL Control 26C and Control 26CT series speakers only. They will not fit other speaker models.
What is the mud-ring construction used for?
The mud-ring (plaster ring) design creates a defined perimeter for drywall joint compound application, simplifying finishing work and producing clean, professional edges around the speaker opening.
Do these brackets support standard framing?
Yes. Pre-drilled holes accommodate both 16-inch and 24-inch center-to-center framing layouts, matching typical ceiling joist spacing and minimizing on-site modifications.
