EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — May, 2024 — Chief, a brand of Legrand | AV, is excited to introduce the Tempo™ Flat Panel In-Wall Mount System, the first in-wall mount system of its kind in the industry, in booth C8600 at InfoComm 2024, June 12-14, in Las Vegas. The system includes in-wall storage and flat panel mounts that can be purchased and installed to accommodate the stages of construction, from rough-in to AV commissioning. 

“This all-in-one configurable wall mounting system is designed to improve efficiency by streamlining installation workflow,” said Ann Ewoldt, Product Marketing Manager, Chief, Legrand | AV. “AV professionals can increase productivity and add money to the bottom line with this new system, especially for mass rollouts. Our Chief Tempo In-Wall Mount System is thoughtfully designed with feedback from installers for faster deployments.”

With the new Chief Tempo Flat Panel In-Wall Mount System, contractors can install in-wall boxes with the stud tabs kit (FPIWMKIT1) during the rough-in construction phase. The wall mount kit (FPIWMKIT2) can be ordered separately and delivered after wall finishing is complete to add flanges, display mount, and small-device storage plates. An infinite number of horizontal mounting patterns are compatible with the system to accommodate extra-large and some ultrawide displays because in-wall back boxes can be set as far apart as needed to align the flat panel with the mount.

The Tempo Flat Panel In-Wall Mount System ships with two 15x10” Lever Lock™ plates, offering a minimum clearance for 1 RU of AV equipment. Installers can place small devices where they need them, thanks to lateral shift flexibility within the storage boxes. Lever Lock plates are compatible with Middle Atlantic® Forward Small Device Mounting Clamps to quickly secure devices in place.

The system also offers an industry-exclusive feature: three types of knockouts per box. This provides greater flexibility for vertical and horizontal cabling between storage boxes, giving total control over power and data design. Storage boxes are designed to fit perfectly between studs. There’s no need to cut wall studs to accommodate flat panel VESA patterns because the mount supports 65-inch displays and larger sizes and are weight-rated up to 250 pounds (113 kg), covering in-wall boxes. This robust weight rating also removes the need for wood blocking reinforcement (when installed per manufacture instructions).

Chief Tempo In-Wall Mount System features 1 inch of post-install leveling for precision-alignment in dual display installations. Display depth adjustment options from 0.5 – 2 inches facilitate ADA compliance with flat panels up to 3.5 inches deep. Mount installation can also be adjusted to accommodate more storage behind display (may affect ADA compliance).

In addition, installers can enhance service access to small devices and AV storage system behind the display by extending mount interfaces up to 10.65 inches off the wall. The flat panel can be tilted in a variety of positions (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 degrees) to eliminate screen glare and reflections. When tilt is combined with depth adjustment, the bottom of large displays won’t hit the wall.

The included hardware and toggle anchors simplify the installation process. New display hardware bags include M8x50 screws, commonly needed for installation of popular displays. Chief also has added at-a-glance identification, with end-user touchpoint screws colored in silver and assembly screws in black for easier end-user training after commissioning.
