Sanus Systems unveils full-motion wall mounts<br />
Sanus Systems has announced the shipment of two new VisionMount HDpro Series full-motion wall mounts at <strong>IFA</strong>. The<br />
company is a division of Miles<strong>to</strong>ne AV Technologies which is the largest manufacturer of flat panel TV mounts worldwide.<br />
Steve Frank, Sanus’ Direc<strong>to</strong>r of Product Management said the company has really listened <strong>to</strong> the needs of pro-AV <strong>in</strong>stallers<br />
and <strong>in</strong>vested a lot of thought <strong>in</strong> the eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g of its HDpro products.<br />
“The features on the new XF228 and LF228, from post-<strong>in</strong>stallation adjustment <strong>to</strong> cable management, make it <strong>in</strong>credibly<br />
easy for an <strong>in</strong>staller <strong>to</strong> create a professional TV display <strong>in</strong> any room,” said Frank, “and they can do it <strong>in</strong> significantly less<br />
time than is required <strong>to</strong> <strong>in</strong>stall mounts without these features.”<br />
Frank highlighted the benefits of the two new wall mounts. Both feature<br />
Sanus’ ProSet post-<strong>in</strong>stallation adjustment, he said, while the FollowThru<br />
cable management system conceals and routes cables through the length<br />
of the mount<strong>in</strong>g arm without <strong>in</strong>hibit<strong>in</strong>g movement. The mounts also feature pre-assembled <strong>in</strong>terfaces and strong, ultralight<br />
extruded alum<strong>in</strong>ium wall plates for ease of <strong>in</strong>stallation. Furthermore, both new products are weather resistant and<br />
can be placed outdoors.<br />
The XF228 and LF228 offer 28 <strong>in</strong>ches (71 cm) of full-motion extension, Virtual Axis tilt<strong>in</strong>g technology for effortless<br />
view<strong>in</strong>g angle adjustment without the use of <strong>to</strong>ols, and an open wall-plate design that provides generous space for<br />
cable management.<br />
The XF228 supports TVs from 42 <strong>to</strong> 63 <strong>in</strong>ches (107 <strong>to</strong> 160 cm) and up <strong>to</strong> 200 lbs (91kg), and retails at e 499.99. The<br />
LF228 supports TVs from 37 <strong>to</strong> 58 <strong>in</strong>ches (94 – 147 cm) and up <strong>to</strong> 130 lbs (59 kg), and retails at e 399.99.<br />
