Extron SMK C TB-2 (part number 70-1266-01) — tile bridge kit that anchors larger Extron ceiling speakers to the T-bar grid rather than to the acoustical tile.

An acoustical ceiling tile is a finish material, not a structural one. Hang a 6.5-inch ceiling speaker and its back can from a cut tile and the tile eventually gives: edges crumble, the panel bows, and the room needs a service visit that nobody quoted for. The SMK C TB-2 prevents that outcome by spanning the cut with modular V-rails and a folding C-ring, so the surrounding grid members take the weight. Extron ships this kit as standard with the SF 26CT and SF 26CT LP; buying 70-1266-01 separately covers replacements, retrofits, and CS 3T or CS 26T Plus installations.

Key Capabilities

• Redirects speaker load from the ceiling tile onto the T-bar grid.
• Each kit supports two speaker positions.
• Folding C-rings and modular V-rails lock together without tools — the C-ring is then secured to the rails with two screws.
• Matched to SF 26CT, SF 26CT LP, CS 3T and CS 26T Plus ceiling speakers.
• Combine with the SMK VRE 48 V-Rail Extension Kit for 4 ft (1.2 m) tile grids.
• Compact packaging reduces warehousing and freight overhead on large orders.

Where It Is Used

Higher-education lecture spaces, corporate boardrooms and training rooms, healthcare waiting areas, retail and hospitality distributed audio — wherever full-size Extron ceiling speakers go into a suspended grid and the ceiling has to stay flat and unblemished for the life of the install.
