WALL SURFACE MOUNTING
Note that the BRACKET ASSEMBLY consists of a SPEAKER BRACKET and a WALL BRACKET.
1) RUN WIRING -- Run the wiring from the power amplifier to the location desired for mounting the
JBL CBT Loudspeakers.
2) ATTACH
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 all four screw holes for maximum integrity and safety. Be sure that the
slot feature is at the top.
Hardware for attaching WALL BRACKET to wall not included.

nOnce the wall mount has been attached to the wall and speaker mount has been attached
to the speaker, loosely install the M6-L34 PIVOT BOLT (bolt, lock washer and flat washer on
one side and flat washer, lock washer & nut on the other side) of the WALL BRACKET. Then
slide the speaker so that the SPEAKER BRACKET engages into the WALL BRACKET,
dropping the hook slot of the SPEAKER BRACKET onto the PIVOT BOLT (which will already be
installed loosely in the WALL BRACKET), as shown in Drawing n.

slot for continuous adjustment capability (see below for more information about tile angles).
Install with M6-L34 bolt, lock washer and flat washer on one side and flat washer, lock washer &
nut on the other side, as shown in Drawing o. Make sure bolt goes through holes in WALL
BRACKET and in SPEAKER BRACKET.

TIGHTEN THE BOLTS.
7) MORE ABOUT TILT ANGLES -- The bracket allows for +/-15 degrees of up or down tilt, however
because of the height of this speaker, the end of the speaker hits the wall at any angle greater
than 10 degrees.
PRE- SET ANGLES and CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE ANGLE -- The bracket has through holes
for mounting angles of +/- 15 degrees in 5 degree increments. There is also a slot above the set of
holes for continuously variable adjustment. The pre-set angles are recommended for accurate
aiming in 5 degree increments and the slot for any angle between 5 degree increments. Either
can be utilized for setting the speaker’s tilt angle.
8) SET THE SWIVEL (PAN) ANGLE – Loosen the top and bottom bolts on the pivot. Adjust the
side-to-side swivel (ie, pan) aiming angle of the speaker. Tighten the bolts securely.
Maximum Swivel Angles before Wall Interference – The bracket swivels a full 90 degrees from
side-to-side, however when mounting the CBT speaker onto a wall, the side-to-side swivel is
limited by the end of the speaker encountering the wall. The maximum swivel angle depends on
the up/down tilt angle setting.
9) SAFETY CABLE -- Attach a safety cable (not included) to any of the 6 mm inserts on the back of
the CBT 200LA-1 cabinet using one of the extra included M6 bolts or via an M6 forged shoulder
steel eyebolt. Attach the other end of the cable to a secondary attachment point on the wall.
10) SWITCH COVERS – To discourage tampering with the switch settings, adhesive switch covers are
provided. Peel off the backing from the switch cover and stick the cover over the switch shaft,
lining up the ridge with the recess in the switch shaft.

11) USING OPTIONAL MTC-CBT-FM1 FLUSH-MOUNT WALL BRACKETS – The optional MTC-
CBT-FM1 brackets allow installing the speaker with its back very close to the wall. It is
recommended to use two brackets – one on the top and one on the bottom – for stability.
