Chief’s Cinematic Series Adds Versatility to Viewing

Chief Manufacturing’s CM1 Automated Swing Arm Mount

Chief Manufacturing's new Cinematic line includes swing arm mounts, flat-panel and projector lifts and table stands.

For homeowners who want to change viewing angles, hide TVs and tinker with optimum speaker placement all with motorized convenience, Chief Manufacturing’s new Cinematic Series has addressed these issues with a variety of solutions.

The company’s Cinematic Series mounts offer programmable viewing angles, fast and fine-tuned viewing adjustments, solid steel construction and motorized remote operation, according to Chief.

Here’s the lineup:

• CM1 Automated Swing Arm Mount (CM1W18): Designed for flat-panel displays up to 61 inches and 170 pounds, the mount includes three programmable pre-set viewing positions as it extends from the wall, and multiple mounting options on or recessed between 16-inch center studs. The mount extends 18 inches and swivels +/-50 degrees, and includes the company’s Q-Latch Mounting System for increased security, Chief says.
• CM2 Automated Pop-up Lift (CM2L40): This lift for a flat-panel screen 61 inches and greater and up to 200 pounds allows users to raise or lower the display at over 2 inches per second. The lift provides up to 40 inches of travel with a stored height of only 31 inches, and Chief’s Auto Drive gliding system for quick and quiet adjustment, the company says.
• CM3 Automated Swivel Table Stand (CM3T45): The table stand offers +/-45 degree automated swivel with optional stops at 15, 25 and 35 degrees. It has an integrated IR sensor for simplified installation and provides height adjustment of 5 inches for different screen heights, Chief says.
• CM4 Automated Speaker Adapter (CM4S57): Keep your left/right/center speakers close to your flat-panel displays on the wall, either in tight with the display or extended out to 105 inches for a broader soundstage. The solution hides speaker wire and eliminates the need to cut into walls, the company says.
• CM5 Automated Art Accessory (CM5V42): Hide your flat-panel in whatever piece of artwork you choose when you’re not watching TV. The CM5 provides quite movement and fits 32- or 42-inch flat-panel screens.
