Our take on the B-Tech BT34

Featuring sturdy metal construction, B-Tech's BT34 brackets are perfect for mounting your compact satellite speakers on the ceiling. The bracket's ball-and-socket joint gives you plenty of vertical angle adjustment, plus you can rotate the mounting arm a full 360º for added aiming flexibility.

Your speakers attach to the brackets using the speakers' keyhole slots or threaded inserts. The BT34 is compatible with a wide range of satellite speakers, including the ones found in many all-in-one DVD home theater systems. Maximum weight: 11 pounds. Warranty: 1 year.

Features

Product Overview: The B-Tech BT34 ceiling-mount speaker bracket is designed to work with all types of satellite speakers, including those with single threaded inserts, dual threaded inserts and keyhole mounts. The bracket consists of metal and plastic construction with a complete selection of speaker mounting hardware. The supplied cover plates slide on to hide the mounting screws from view.

Weight Capacity: These brackets can handle speakers up to 11 pounds.

Speaker Mounts: The bracket works with the following types of satellite speakers mounts:

  • Single Threaded Insert: If the speaker has a single threaded insert, one of the supplied long screws (M5 x 30mm, M6 x 28mm, or 1/4" x 1-1/4" UNC) can be used to attach the speaker to the bracket using the single point adapter.
  • Dual Threaded Inserts: If the speaker has dual threaded inserts, you must first attach the dual point adapter plate to the bracket, then use the shorter screw pairs (M5 x 12mm, M6 x 12mm, or 1/4" x 1/2" UNC) to attach the speaker to the bracket. Screw spacing for the dual point adapter plate is 1.95" to 2.71"
  • Keyhole Slot: If the speaker has a keyhole slot, you must first loosely attach the M5 x 12mm nut to the M5 x 12mm screw through the single point adapter. The head of the screw is then inserted into the keyhole slot and tightened to hold the speaker firmly.

Speaker Aiming: The BT34 offers total flexibility in aiming the speaker. The mounting arm rotates a full 360 degrees, while the ball and socket joint allows you to angle the speaker up to 90 degrees.

Mounting Recommendations: It is recommended that the bracket be mounted to a ceiling joist or to a concrete ceiling. It is not recommended that it be mounted to drywall only. Wall anchors are supplied for use on concrete ceilings only. The screw spacing for the ceiling bracket is 1.98" to 2.7". Note: If the selected location doesn't have a ceiling joist or is not concrete, it will be necessary to obtain high quality "butterfly" anchors, available at most hardware stores.

Very well made speaker mounts. I used them to mount my Polk Audio FXi3 surround speakers to the wall. Very nice to be able to move speaker in an position.

B-Tech BT34

Written By Donovan, West Jordan, UT on Friday, August 31, 2007
 
It took quite a while to find a ceiling speaker mount that would connect to speakers using a "key hole" mount. I was concerned that the "key hole" option wouldn't really hold up a 5 lb speaker in place safely. I was pleasantly surprised. These brackets work very well. The "key hole" mounting option makes a very secure hold to the speaker and then to the rest of the bracket. Additionally, the instructions were easy to read and I was able to install both of them in less than 30 minutes.

Adjusting them for the correct angle and direction is very straight forward and effective. A miniature allen wrench is used to adjust two set screws which give the speaker mobility in two axes and when tight provide very stable positioning for the speakers.

Each bracket comes with all the hardware you would need to mount any of the three mounting styles. However, there is no hardware included for installing the bracket into sheetrock alone. It provides hardware for screwing the bracket into concrete or a ceiling joist, but you if you have to suspend it from just sheetrock you will need to get some additional hardware. Of course, I would be nervous hanging a speaker of any significant weight from just sheetrock, so I made sure to screw the bracket into a floor joist.

I would definitely recommend these brackets to anyone needing to mount a speaker from the ceiling.

Agonized over how to solve my 7.1 problem. Talked with a professional installer, friends and looked at a bizillion magazines. Talked to the kids at the local electronic big box and then went to my big play guys! Mounts are sweet! Installation was so easy I had my elevan year old grandson on the ladder doing it. No noise from the mounts, solid construction and as always my order was processed and arrived as promised. I used Crutchfield exclusively the fifteen years I was in Hawaii without a glitch. Am a happy camper. 7.1 problem? ............. solved!

i bought 4 of these mounts so that i could suspend the surround speakers for my Onkyo SR 800 system. the speakers weigh 2lb's each are 8 inch's tall- 5 wide and 2.5 deep. Install was insanely easy and the finished hang looks great- all screw's and brackets provided. Nice clean lines on the mount cover and on the mount join with the speaker. Also due to the swiveling ability of the joint, you can pretty much point the speaker anywhere with ease. Noise wise the whole thing is very solid. no metal vibes from the mount. I use my system to play PC games and i crank the effects to max- haven't heard a peep from the mounts yet.
The only disadvantage is that to adjust the speakers you must use an allen-wrench key- the key is provided- to screw and unscrew the threaded lock set-screws, this works well if its got allot of room around it, but in tight areas with a high ceiling -its a bit of a pain. Granted once you have them where you want them the set-screws keep the speaker joint in place regardless of angel- no sliding or sagging.

overall i am very impressed with the mount and its well worth the investment.
