Chief, a brand of Legrand | AV, will introduce the Tempo Flat Panel In-Wall Mount System at Booth C8600. This all-in-one 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.

With the new Tempo Flat Panel In-Wall Mount System, contractors can install in-wall boxes with 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 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 display 65 inches and larger and are weight-rated up to 250 pounds, covering in-wall boxes. This robust weight rating also removes the need for wood blocking reinforcement (when installed per manufacturer instructions).
