What Is the Chief Tempo In-Wall Single-Box Mount System?
The Tempo In-Wall Single-Box Mount System is an integrated mount for small to medium displays in commercial and higher education environments. It combines mount hardware, in-wall device storage and service access in a single system. The UL 2442 Listed solution supports displays in landscape or portrait orientation and expands Chief’s in-wall portfolio to smaller display sizes.
Does the Mount Require Stud Cutting?
No. The Tempo In-Wall Single-Box Mount System fits within standard 16-inch on-center stud framing without modification. That eliminates the stud cutting that has added labor, structural complexity and coordination risk to in-wall display installations. The mount is UL 2442 Listed for both metal and wood stud construction, giving specifiers code-compliant confidence from a project’s earliest phases.
How Does the Two-Stage Workflow Fit Construction Schedules?
The two-stage workflow separates rough-in from commissioning so in-wall AV doesn’t become a single-phase bottleneck. Integrators install the mounting enclosure during the rough-in phase, before drywall. The display and finishing work come later in a separate commissioning stage. This separation removes scheduling conflicts on active construction sites.
Post-install adjustments are built in. Integrators can correct leveling, plumb and lateral shift after installation. That removes the need for precision placement during rough-in and reduces rework when structural realities differ from construction drawings.
How Does One Technician Service the Display?
A 10.65-inch service extension lets a single technician pull the display forward on the mount for direct access to components and cabling, without removing the display from the wall. Lever Lock storage panels standardize in-wall device mounting. Knockouts on all sides handle conduit and cable routing. Together these features speed service calls across the life of the installation.
What Awards Did the Tempo In-Wall System Win?
The Tempo Flat Panel In-Wall Single-Box Mount System won four industry awards at InfoComm 2026. It earned the rAVe 2026 Best of InfoComm Award for Best Signage Mount or Infrastructure Solution. It also took three Future 2026 Best of Show InfoComm Awards from AV Technology, Sound & Video Contractor and Digital Signage.
What Does Chief Say About the Product?
Dorian Haro, senior product manager at Chief, credits integrator feedback as the foundation for the design. “The Tempo In-Wall Single-Box Mount System was built on direct feedback from integrators who needed a cleaner, faster path to in-wall installations without the compromises that have always come with the category,” Haro says. “By expanding our in-wall offering to support smaller display sizes, we’re helping integrators standardize on a proven installation approach across more applications. No stud cutting. A two-stage workflow that fits construction timelines. Real service access behind the display. These are not incremental refinements. They are the fundamentals integrators told us were missing.”
