Kanto R500 Recessed Articulating TV Wall Mount with 135 lb Capacity

Kanto R500 Recessed Articulating TV Wall Mount with 135 lb Capacity

The Kanto R500 gives you a recessed mounting solution when you want your TV close to the wall without giving up full-motion flexibility. Designed to fit between 16-inch stud centers, this in-wall TV mount lets compatible 46-inch to 80-inch TVs sit just 1.25 inches from the wall when fully retracted.

Recessed Design for an Extremely Low Profile

A traditional articulating mount can add noticeable depth behind your television. The Kanto R500 takes a different approach by recessing its arm assembly between your wall studs. When pushed back, your screen sits only 1.25 inches from the wall, creating a streamlined setup while keeping the articulating arm ready when you need it.

Made for 46-Inch to 80-Inch TVs

The Kanto R500 supports 46-inch to 80-inch TVs, while handling weights up to 135 lb (62 kg). Additionally, adjustable brackets support VESA patterns from 100 x 100 to 600 x 400. Therefore, the mount works with a broad range of TVs that meet these size and mounting requirements.

27.6 Inches of Full-Motion Extension

Need to pull your television away from the wall for a different viewing position? The articulating arm extends up to 27.6 inches (70.2 cm), giving you plenty of room to reposition the screen. Think of the arm as the bridge between a low-profile wall setup and a flexible viewing arrangement.

Swivel Your TV Toward the Action

The Kanto R500 offers 180 degrees of total swivel, allowing the TV to turn up to 90 degrees left or right. This makes it easier to direct the screen toward different seating positions. Watching from another part of the room? Simply reposition the TV instead of changing where you sit.

Adjust the Tilt to Help Reduce Glare

Changing the vertical angle can make a noticeable difference when reflections appear on your screen. The Kanto R500 provides +10 degrees to -5 degrees of tilt, letting you angle the television forward or backward to help reduce glare and fine-tune your viewing position.

Solid Steel Construction with a 135 lb Capacity

The Kanto R500 is constructed from high-grade solid steel and supports televisions weighing up to 135 pounds. The mount itself weighs 36.4 lb (16.5 kg), giving it a substantial structure designed around the weight and movement requirements of larger compatible TVs.

Integrated Cable Management

A flexible TV mount also needs a practical way to handle connected cables. Integrated cable management helps organize your wiring as the Kanto R500 moves between its retracted and extended positions, keeping the mounting system more organized behind your television.

Designed for 16-Inch Stud Centers

The recessed box measures 14.2 inches wide, 23.1 inches tall, and 3.7 inches deep. It is specifically designed to fit between wall studs positioned 16 inches apart, allowing the articulating mechanism to sit inside the wall rather than entirely in front of it.

Mounting Hardware and Template Included

The Kanto R500 comes packaged with the components needed for wood stud installation, including mounting hardware, lag bolts, washers, and spacers. You also receive a paper wall template for marking pilot holes, an installation manual, and access to an online installation video.
