Reviewing the Mantlemount MM860

Studio Décor Design Center, based in Huntington Harbor, is the pristine location and home to many of the brands represented by Studio Décor. Newly added to the main entertainment area of the design center is the Mantel Mount MM860 Motorized Drop Down & Swivel TV Mount. This motorized mount is perfect for high-on-the-wall installations such as over a fireplace and provides comfortable, eye-level viewing.

The mount supports an 85-in. Sony XBR85X950G TV, adding one more element of automation to the Control4 system in the space. This intelligent mount works over IP with most popular home automation systems and includes a number of luxury features. One of the things that really stood out is the noise-free movement when the mount is in motion, thanks to two custom electronic actuators that allow for smooth, barely audible movement. The manufacturer says it has an improved, quieter operation, and they nailed it.

Prior to installation, the homeowner hired an electrical contractor to move the original power outlet to a location where the power cord can be safely plugged into[AS1] . Once this was complete, we called our local integrator, Mike Esparza, Owner of Executive Sound Pros, a Control4 certified dealer based in Huntington Beach, California. The mount was placed over a fireplace; Mike was impressed with the quality of the mount and the ease of installation.

In terms of appearance, we couldn’t have been more satisfied: the mount features a recessible housing that conceals the lifting arm and all electronics when it’s in the raised position. (MantelMount also offers an optional recess box that allows for flush-to-wall installations. So for those perfectionists among you, MantelMount has you covered.)

Once installed and with the TV mounted, we took time to explore all the unique capabilities of this mount to test its power.

Features & Benefits:

Programming the mount was far simpler than we expected, owing to the mount’s plug & play networking capability. In other words, the instant you begin the programming process, the mount is immediately identifiable on the network – no wasting time until the unit is recognized or worse, not being recognized at all.   

Can we talk about the perfect viewing angle? To begin with, the MM860 has a 30-in. maximum drop, allowing users to bring the television down to create a perfect, eye-level viewing angle (eye-level is ideal not only to eliminate neck strain but to provide optimal picture resolution). What’s more, the mount can swivel up to 25 degrees right or left, meaning viewers can get a good view from almost any spot in the room where the television is located.

In fact, they can even get decent viewing from other rooms! For us, this is an important consideration,  since the design center is located upstairs, which serves as both a media room and an entertainment area equipped with a full bar, an epic sound system and, of course, a view of the beautiful harbor. Regardless of whether you are standing at the bar, sitting at the high tops, standing outside on the balcony, or sitting directly in front of the television, the mount can accommodate any angle. Seriously, we tested it.
