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.
Hardware attaching WALL BRACKET to wall is not included.
Utilize proper hardware for particular wall structure.
Spacing needed between upper and lower
WALL BRACKET parts with CBT1000 depends on
whether speaker will be set with down-tilt or up-tilt.
Spacing:
181 mm (7-1/8”) for Down-Tilt
197 mm (7-3/4”) for Up-Tilt

(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).

3) ATTACH SPEAKER SIDE OF BRACKET TO SPEAKER
Mount the SPEAKER BRACKET (2 pcs) to the speaker with the provided M8 x20 mm pan-head bolts, in
the locations shown and in the orientation shown in the diagram below.

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.
Hardware attaching WALL BRACKET to wall is not
included. Utilize proper hardware for particular wall
structure.
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
Spacing:
1200 mm (47-1/4”) for Down-Tilt
1216 mm (47-7/8”) for Up-Tilt
9
(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).

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.

The following instructions apply to both the CBT1000 by itself and
to the CBT 1000+1000E System.
(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.
For Down-Tilt or 0° Tilt
Install PIVOT BOLT before dropping
speaker into 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.

6b) For Setting Larger Tilt Angles (-4° to -15° for CBT1000; -1.25° to -5.25° for CBT1000+E
System), Use ARM LINK.
Loosely attach the ARM LINK to the WALL BRACKET using the M6 x 115 mm bolt in hole A or B
(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.
Tighten all bolts.
