Vertical Array Bracket Assembly / Installation Guide
The JBL model MTC-23V is a vertical arraying bracket for holding up to three Control 23
loudspeakers. Installation is typical of the three vertical brackets models available. The
loudspeaker’s top and bottom tapers allow three speakers to array in a vertical arc pattern for a
wide coverage in the vertical plane. Aiming angles can be adjusted via the speaker’s Invisiball™
adjustment system for flexibility in meeting coverage requirements.
Caution: this bracket should be installed by a qualified technician only.
Use the diagrams on the following pages to properly install this wall mounting and ceiling
suspended bracket and loudspeakers. The following items are included in MTC-23V kit:
1. 1 pc. Mounting Bracket
2. 6 pcs. Screws (1/4-20 x 3/4")
