Instructions for CBT 1000 Alone (without 1000E):

The BRACKET ASSEMBLY consists of 2 pieces of SPEAKER BRACKETS (the parts that mount on the
speaker), 2 pieces of WALL BRACKETS (the parts that mount on the wall), 2 pcs of SWIVEL BRACKETS
(which get added to the SPEAKER BRACKETS if utilized for horizontal swivel/pan aiming capability), and an

ARM LINK (which is utilized for the larger tilt angles).

1) RUN WIRING -- Run the wiring from the power amplier to the location desired for mounting the JBL

CBT Loudspeakers. Note: Connect wire to speaker terminals at a point in the installation process when

convenient for your installation circumstances.

2) ATTACHING WALL BRACKET TO WALL -- Using a level to ensure that the WALL BRACKET is straight,
secure the WALL BRACKET to the wall. Be sure to use the appropriate wall anchors for attaching the

bracket. Use as many of the screw holes as possible for maximum integrity and safety.

CAUTION: Installation must be done by

qualied persons using safe rigging standards.

The installer is responsible for proper selection and use of

mounting hardware to properly and safely wall-mount the

speakers.

(Drawings show upper
and lower bracket
orientation as set for
down-tilt or 0°. Wall
brackets to be reversed

in location and ipped for

up-tilt applications (see
further instructions).

Hardware attaching WALL BRACKET to wall is not included.
Utilize proper hardware for particular wall structure.

Spacing:

181 mm (7-1/8”) for Down-Tilt

197 mm (7-3/4”) for Up-Tilt

Spacing needed between upper and lower
WALL BRACKET parts with CBT1000 depends on
whether speaker will be set with down-tilt or up-tilt.

Instructions for CBT 1000+1000E System:

The BRACKET ASSEMBLY consists of 2 pieces of SPEAKER BRACKETS (the parts that mount on the
speaker), 2 pieces of WALL BRACKETS (the parts that mount on the wall), 2 pcs of SWIVEL BRACKETS
(which get added to the SPEAKER BRACKETS if utilized for horizontal swivel/pan aiming capability), and an

ARM LINK (which is utilized for the larger tilt angles).

1) RUN WIRING -- Run the wiring from the power amplier to the location desired for mounting the JBL

CBT Loudspeakers. Note: Connect wire to speaker terminals at a point in the installation process when

convenient for your installation circumstances.

2) ATTACHING WALL BRACKET TO WALL -- Using a level to ensure that the WALL BRACKET is straight,
secure the WALL BRACKET to the wall. Be sure to use the appropriate wall anchors for attaching the

bracket. Use as many of the screw holes as possible for maximum integrity and safety.

CAUTION: Installation must be done by qualied persons

using safe rigging standards.

The installer is responsible for proper selection and use of mounting hardware

to properly and safely wall-mount the speakers.

(Drawings show upper

orientation as set for
down-tilt or 0°. Wall
brackets to be reversed

in location and ipped for

further instructions).

Hardware attaching WALL BRACKET to wall is not
included. Utilize proper hardware for particular wall

structure.

Spacing:

1200 mm (47-1/4”) for Down-Tilt

1216 mm (47-7/8”) for Up-Tilt

Spacing needed between upper and lower

WALL BRACKET parts with CBT1000 and

CBT1000E depends on whether speaker will be set

with down-tilt or up-tilt

3) ATTACHING COUPLER PLATE -- Connect the CBT 1000 and CBT 1000E together by attaching
COUPLER PLATE to bottom four (4) insert points of the CBT 1000 and to top four (4) insert points of
CBT 1000E using 8 pcs M8 x 20 PAN-HEAD PHILLIPS BOLTS with LOCK WASHERS and FLAT

WASHERS. Tighten.

IMPORTANT: WHEN THE CBT 1000E IS LOCATED ON THE TOP VERSUS ON THE BOTTOM

The diagram below shows the COUPLER PLATE attachment method for when the CBT 1000 is on
the top and the CBT 1000E on the bottom. For utilizing with the CBT 1000E on top and the CBT
1000 on the bottom, the depth of the cabinets are different at the junction between them, so it is

necessary to use the optional MTC-CBT-OS3 Offset Bracket (which is part of the CBT1K-ACC1

kit). See Appendix A for attaching together in this orientation utilizing the MTC-CBT-OS3 bracket.

(For simplicity, drawings are shown with CBT1000 only.)

5) SLIDE SPEAKER WITH SPEAKER BRACKET ONTO WALL BRACKET

Make sure the PIVOT BOLT is installed in-place in the SPEAKER BRACKET. The PIVOT BOLT
ASSEMBLY consists of the M6 x 125 mm bolt with lock washer and at washer on the head and secured

in place with at washer, lock washer and M6 cap nut. IMPORTANT: Leave the nut loose (do not tighten).

Slide the speaker forward so that the SPEAKER BRACKET engages into the WALL

BRACKET, dropping the PIVOT BOLT ASSEMBLY into the hook slot of the WALL BRACKET.

6) SET THE TILT ANGLE

6a) For Setting Shallow Tilt Angles (0° to -3° for CBT1000; 0° to -0.9° for CBT1000+1000E System),

do NOT use ARM LINK.

Slide the M6 x 125 mm BOLT into labeled hole for desired down-tilt angle. Use LOCK WASHER

and FLAT WASHER on head and FLATWASHER, LOCK WASHER, and CAP NUT on end of bolt.

For clarity, shown without loudspeaker (or

SWIVEL BRACKET, if utilized), and shown with

brackets in the down-tilt orientation.

(depending on desired tilt angle -- refer to TILT ANGLE SETTINGS DIAGRAM). Use LOCK WASHER

and FLAT WASHER on head and FLATWASHER, LOCK WASHER, and CAP NUT on end of bolt.

IMPORTANT: Do not tighten yet (leave loose).

Attach the other end of ARM LINK to SPEAKER BRACKET. Slide the M6 x 125 mm BOLT into

labeled hole for desired down-tilt angle through the holes in the lower end of the ARM LINK. Use

LOCK WASHER and FLAT WASHER on head and FLATWASHER, LOCK WASHER, and CAP NUT

on end of bolt.
