JBL MTC-TB6/8 Tile-bridge For Control 200 & 300 Series
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.

The MTC-TB6/8 is compatible with Control 227C/227CT speakers (paired with MTC-200BB6 backcan) and Control 328C/328CT speakers (paired with MTC-300BB8 backcan). It mounts to standard 24-inch (600 mm) suspended ceiling grids.
How does this tile-bridge reduce ceiling rattle and vibration?
The over-the-grid design acoustically decouples the speaker from the ceiling structure, preventing vibration transmission that causes grid rattle. Heavy-duty 18-gauge steel construction provides structural stability and isolates unwanted noise that would degrade audio clarity.
What are the physical dimensions and weight?
The MTC-TB6/8 measures 646 mm (25.4 in) length × 413 mm (16.25 in) width with a 310 mm (12.2 in) speaker opening. Net weight is 2.1 kg (4.5 lb) per unit; six units ship per box at 3.0 kg (6.5 lb) per unit.
Will this work in outdoor or portable sound environments?
No—the MTC-TB6/8 is designed exclusively for permanent commercial installations in suspended ceiling systems (offices, retail, hospitality). It is not rated for outdoor or portable live-sound applications.
What finish does it have and how durable is it?
The tile-bridge features an epoxy-based powdercoat finish on 18-gauge steel, engineered to resist corrosion and maintain structural integrity under sustained load across years of commercial deployment.
