For years, full-motion TV mounts have followed essentially the same formula: extend the television away from the wall, swivel it left or right, and perhaps tilt it downward.
Those movements can be useful. But once the TV is mounted, it often stays in essentially the same place. Maybe it gets pulled forward. Maybe it gets swiveled toward another part of the room.
The basic concept hasn’t changed much.
MAX1 does.
With 29 inches of vertical travel and multiple ranges of motion that operate entirely independently from one another, MAX1 turns the mount itself into part of the viewing experience.
Mount High. Watch at Eye Level.
Sometimes the logical place for a television is simply higher on the wall.
There may be a mantel or fireplace beneath it. Furniture may dictate the available space. The size or layout of the room may require greater height for better visibility. In other settings, mounting higher can keep the TV safely out of the way when it isn’t being used.
Whatever the reason, mounting a television high shouldn’t mean you have to watch it high.
A more eye-level viewing position generally supports a more natural viewing posture. Depending on the television and room, reducing the off-axis viewing angle can also help with glare and picture consistency.
A traditional full-motion mount may allow the TV to tilt downward, which can improve the viewing angle somewhat.
But the TV itself is still high.
MAX1 takes a different approach.
With 29 inches of true vertical travel, MAX1 lets you mount the television where the room requires it, then bring it down toward a more natural viewing position when it’s time to watch.
Instead of simply pointing a high-mounted TV toward you, MAX1 brings the TV to you.
Full Motion in Every Direction
MAX1 combines the familiar capabilities of a premium articulating mount with something the traditional category doesn’t provide: true pull-down vertical travel.
- 29" vertical travel
- 22" extension
- 80° swivel
- 3.25" wall profile
- Supports TVs up to 86" and 90 lbs.
But the real difference isn’t the individual specifications.
It’s that every range of motion operates independently.
You can extend the TV without lowering it. Lower it without extending it. Swivel it without changing its height.
Or pull it out, lower it, swivel it toward another part of the room, push it back closer to the wall while keeping it lowered, and stop exactly where you want it.
MAX1’s constant-tension system lets the television stop securely at virtually any point throughout its range of motion.
That creates something traditional full-motion mounts don’t provide: independent positioning in height, depth and angle.
One TV. A Different Position for Every Occasion.
The ideal viewing position isn’t always the same.
Movie night may mean lowering the screen directly in front of the couch.
During a game or party, you may want to reposition it for people gathered in a cluster of chairs, around a pool table, in a game area or somewhere else in a large open room.
You might swivel it toward the kitchen. Lower it for a more intimate viewing experience. Or raise it back up when you’re finished.
MAX1 lets the TV adapt to the way the room is actually being used.
That’s the difference between simply moving a TV and truly positioning it for the experience.
Straight Down When Straight Down Is All You Need
MAX1’s Wall Slider adds another level of flexibility.
When there’s no obstacle beneath the TV, the television can travel vertically down the wall without requiring horizontal extension first.
That allows you to change the viewing height while keeping the TV close to the wall throughout the movement.
The classroom application demonstrates this especially well. The screen can be lowered closer to eye level when students are watching, then raised out of the way when it isn’t needed.
And that illustrates an important point: MAX1 isn’t simply a solution for televisions above fireplaces.
It’s for anyone who wants the freedom to mount a TV high without being forced to watch it high.
Designed Around the Entire Installation
MAX1’s biggest innovation is movement, but the supporting details matter too.
At just 3.25 inches from the wall, it maintains a slim profile despite its range of motion.
It can also require as little as 2 inches of clearance above a mantel, helping it fit into tighter installations.
Integrated cable-routing clips help keep wiring organized.
Included soundbar brackets allow the soundbar to move with the television.
And the temperature-sensing pull-down handle provides a convenient way to reposition the TV while adding another layer of awareness in fireplace installations.
The Mount Becomes Part of the Experience
For decades, the TV mount’s job was mostly to hold the television on the wall.
Full-motion mounts added extension, swivel and tilt.
MAX1 adds something more important:
the ability to place the television where you actually want to watch it.
Up. Down. In. Out. Left. Right. Stop anywhere.
The TV is no longer simply mounted. It’s positioned for the experience.
Full motion shouldn’t just change where your TV points.
It should change where your TV can be.
