JBL MTC-81TB8
4-Pack Tile Bridge for MTC-81BB8 Backcan
Description
When installing a ceiling speaker in a drop tile setup, you need the type of gear that not only meets the specifications of space acoustics, it also fits the space, holds up over time, and does not give you a headache during installation. This is where the JBL’s trusty MTC-81TB8 4-Pack Tile Bridges come in handy.
These sturdy bridges are made to pair with JBL’s 8138 speakers and the MTC-81BB8 backcan. They feature a secure fit that matches perfectly with the 24-inch and 23.6-inch tile grids without losing their shape due to strain or warping over time. They can be used to hold up heavy equipment in a number of conference room setups, decor styles, and they hold up to the pressure without any problem. This strength is thanks to the 19-gauge steel used to build the body of this bridge.
The weight of the bridge body itself is a hefty 2.0 lbs, but it is cleverly distributed to eliminate any ceiling tile sag by distributing the weight of the bridge and the equipment it bears to the ceiling’s support system. These bridges are sturdy, so they feel solid but not burdensome.
The JBL tile bridges have a black polymer e-coat that is well-suited for placement in commercial spaces. This specialty finish is highly beneficial when installation is required in areas with high humidity, like certain corporate basements or warehouse meeting rooms. This finish ensures that there is no rust flaking off within just six months of the new installation.
The dimensions are standard as it is for JBL’s in-ceiling setups, that is, 600mm long and 359mm wide. These dimensions play an important part in the ceiling grid compatibility. There is no need to trim or rig anything to make it work. The installation is straightforward using the clip-nuts already in place. There is no need for added fasteners or making emergency runs to the supply store.
