Sometimes it’s the little things that define a manufacturer as “integrator friendly.” For system designers and installers, it’s significant that Contemporary Research has added Universal Rack Mount Kits (RKU) for all ATSC series HDTV TunersQMOD HDTV Modulators/IPTV EncodersQIP IPTV EncodersRF Combiners, and ICE-HE-DXL Display Control Centers.

After all, “there is nothing worse than purchasing AV products and realizing you don’t have all the accessories needed for the installation,” writes Christy Ricketts, VP of operations and marketing, Contemporary Research.

The Universal Rack Mount Kit or RKU will allow for single or dual mounting options and includes hardware needed for configuration or installation, according to a blog post by Ricketts.

Detailed installation instructions are included with each kit. One Universal Rack Mount Kit is included with the purchase of each listed product as of January 8th, 2018.

Single Mount: One (1) short rack ear, one (1) long rack ear and five (5) 8-32 x 1/4 screws will be used.

Contemporary Research is dedicated to saving AV integrators time and money. We feel the inclusion of a Universal Rack Mount Kit will insure the correct rack mount is available for every installation, preventing delays or added expense.

We also want to provide an opportunity for active dealers to return unused rack kits; therefore, we have created the “Universal Rack Kit Return for Credit Program”, Dec. 1st-31st, 2018.

Active dealers will be asked to keep new, unused, complete sets of the universal rack mounting kits purchased in 2018 and may return them for a $25 credit per rack kit. Only one credit memo per dealer will be issued, once all rack kits have been returned.

The credit memo will be valid for one year and will carry no cash value. Dealers must return complete, undamaged, Universal Rack Mount Kits purchased in 2018 to receive credit.

For more information about this program please e-mail [email protected] or call us at 972-931-2728.
