Press Release

 MantelMount, the premier, award-winning mounting option for flatscreen televisions, announces the introduction of the MAX Mount Series, the first TV mounts capable of true, full-range movement.

Full-motion mounts typically offer horizontal (away from the wall) movement as well as side-to-side swivel. The new MAX mount has transformed the full-motion category: a hybrid solution capable of conventional, full-range motion combined with independent vertical travel. As a result, the two new MAX models – the MAX1 Full Range Motion TV Mount and the MAX2 Motor Assisted Full Range Motion TV Mount – are ideal for a wider assortment of applications, especially where space is limited and/or obstructions are present. This also means that integrators can get into more homes and expand their customer base with a truly full-range motion mount that was previously unavailable to the public.

The MAX1 will be sold through both consumer and wholesale channels, while the MAX2 will be exclusive to wholesale. Both models are ideal for residential, commercial, and ed-tech applications (particularly for mounting interactive displays above a whiteboard).

Independent Vertical Travel

Both the manual MAX1 and the motorized MAX2 represent the company’s closest flush-to-wall distance in a non-recessed application, where the back of the television can be positioned a mere 3” off the wall. Each model is capable of 29” of independent vertical travel – more than enough to create the perfect, eye-level viewing angle. What’s more, constant tension design ensures absolute “stop anywhere” positioning.

Another feature that sets these mounts apart from competitive products is the minimal clearance requirement. When mounting above obstructions, such as a fireplace mantel, both MAX1 and MAX2 allow for clearances as close as 2” from the bottom of the TV or soundbar. This is due to their 22” extension, which is independent of vertical travel. In addition, if no obstructions are present, the two mounts can be lowered vertically without any horizontal travel. The minimal clearance required also means that the MAX Series mounts can be installed in very tight spaces and confined areas. Plus, both models can swivel left or right up to 40°, also independent of vertical movement.

The MAX1 and MAX2 come equipped with high-temperature indicators, soundbar mounting brace, and cable routing clips for a clean, organized look.

The primary difference between the two models is the motor-assisted functionality of the MAX2, which provides vertical travel through a conveniently located toggle switch. In addition,  the MAX1 is capable of holding a maximum weight of 90 pounds, while the MAX2 can handle up to 150 pounds (ideal for heavier interactive displays).

A Leap Forward

“Our new MAX Mount Series represents a huge leap forward in terms of functionality, due largely to the independent horizontal movement,” said Spencer Greenwald, MantelMount’s Chief Revenue Officer. “What’s more, our MAX models are suitable for customers who previously didn’t have the necessary clearance. This allows us to bring MantelMount to a far greater segment of the TV-viewing population.”

Both the MAX1 and MAX2 are expected to be available by end Q4 2024. For a preview of their performance, see the MAX Mount in action:
