Middle Atlantic has extended the award-winning C3 Credenza Series to now include the Frame to Furniture offering through an optional integrated display mount co-developed by Chief.

Middle Atlantic business development manager David Albright says that the news comes as customers were looking for a more integrated AV system mounting approach that capitalises on the Credenza’s ability to manage storage and cables.

The new C3 Frame to Furniture Credenza lets integrators to do all the integration work with the frame at their shop or on the jobsite, then install the wood kit which ships separately. This method helps protect the wood and keep it out of harm’s way while the integrator is doing the integration of the AV equipment.

It also includes floor support legs on the frame that provide room for proper equipment ventilation; and use the floor to bear much of the weight of the credenza and optional display mounts. This eliminates the need for time-consuming and costly wall inspection and remediation.

The optional C3 display mounts come with white covers to hide the uprights and cables which eliminates the need for secondary cable management.

A variety of Chief Fusion Series accessories are compatible with the mount system for fully outfitting the install with speakers, cameras, and conferencing systems. Notably, the new FCA800HS and FCA810HS accessories were developed to mount Vaddio’s HuddleSHOT All-in-One Conferencing Camera system. The C3 Credenza with C3 Display Mounts supports ADA compliance.

“Chief and Middle Atlantic have similar goals of enhancing the installation experience and providing robust AV infrastructure support,” David says.

“Solutions from the two brands work really well together. Co-developing this as a complete integrated system provides value to our integration partners and end users alike.”

The new C3 Frame to Furniture Credenzas initially are available in one through four bays in 32” height only, with wood kits available in three finish options that align with current interior design trends. The new C3 wood kits also include keyed locks in complementary finishes, providing enhanced security for AV equipment.
