The JBL Professional MTC-RAIL is an essential accessory tile rail designed for installing JBL's ceiling loudspeakers into 4 ft x 4 ft (1200 x 1200 mm; 48 x 48 inch) ceiling tiles in suspended ceiling applications. This versatile tile rail system provides a secure and efficient way to mount a variety of JBL ceiling speakers with the C-ring/tile-rail mounting system, including popular models such as the Control 24C/CT Micro & 24CT MicroPlus, Control 24C/CT, 26C/CT, 19CS/CST, Control 47C/T, 47LP, 47HC, 40CS/T, 42C, Control 226C/T, 8124/8128, and others. The MTC-RAIL is not suitable for JBL speakers that use tile bridges, such as the CSS Series, 8138, C227C/CT, and C300 Series models, so it's important to verify compatibility with JBL Professional Customer Service for the most up-to-date compatibility list.
Constructed from high-quality 18-gauge galvanized steel (SECC), the MTC-RAIL is built to withstand the demands of suspended ceiling installations while providing long-lasting support for your ceiling loudspeakers. The rail features an inverted V-groove that helps provide extra support to the ceiling tile grid in case of tile failure. Additionally, this groove design significantly reduces vibration transfer and minimizes rattling from the ceiling tile grid system, ensuring that the speakers remain securely in place with minimal unwanted noise or movement.
The MTC-RAIL system comes equipped with multiple C-ring mounting holes - 30 in total - ensuring compatibility with a wide range of JBL ceiling speakers. The system also allows for additional hole locations to be drilled by the installer, providing added flexibility in the mounting setup to suit various installation requirements. This ensures that the system can be adapted to different ceiling grid configurations while maintaining a secure and stable installation.
In terms of physical dimensions, the MTC-RAIL measures 1.1 inches tall, 1.2 inches wide, and has a total length of 49.9 inches, which extends beyond the tile grids to ensure a stable and secure connection. The rail is designed to fit perfectly within the 48-inch span between the top of the inverted V-grooves, aligning with the ceiling tile grid to ensure a precise and efficient installation process. The robust construction and thoughtful design of the MTC-RAIL provide the additional support necessary for long-span applications, making it a reliable choice for commercial and professional audio installations.
Overall, the JBL MTC-RAIL offers a secure, stable, and flexible mounting solution for JBL's ceiling loudspeakers. Its durable construction, easy installation, and noise-reducing features make it the ideal choice for suspended ceiling installations in both commercial and residential environments.
