Product Overview

The CHIEF CMS491C is a 1x2 AV ceiling enclosure designed to simplify and enhance mounting solutions in modern AV installations. Featuring a white finish, this enclosure is specifically tailored to fit within standard 1x2 ceiling tiles, offering clean and professional integration in commercial and institutional settings. Its dimensions—12.97 inches wide, 23.67 inches deep, and 8 inches high—allow for compact yet effective spatial utilization.

One of the key capabilities of the CMS491C is its built-in column support, offering optimal pipe flexibility directly within the tile footprint. This minimizes the need for image correction post-installation, resulting in improved visual performance and more accurate image alignment. The enclosure is TAA compliant, making it a suitable choice for government and federally funded projects. Assembled in the United States, it reflects CHIEF’s commitment to quality and compliance.

This ceiling enclosure is especially effective in environments requiring precise projector or display placement, such as classrooms, conference rooms, and training facilities. Its solid build, thoughtful engineering, and focus on installation efficiency deliver long-term ROI through reduced maintenance, faster setup, and enhanced visual quality.
