Sanus Systems is pleased to announce that the VisionMount® LR1A recessed in-wall box for use with flat-panel TV wall mounts has won a 2007 Product of the Year award from Electronic House magazine. The in-wall box, made of heavy gauge steel, allows a flat-panel TV to sit nearly flush with the wall, hiding mounting hardware and providing a clean appearance.

The LR1A was selected based on technological innovation, outstanding features and overall value, said a representative for the magazine.

“We are honored to be recognized for this prestigious award,” said Sanus Systems Product Development Manager, Dominic Grey. “At Sanus, we strive to bring products to market that will provide a practical solution for consumers. Our in-wall box is specially designed for ease and speed of installation, and it meets a consumer need that is easy for custom installers and home integrators to fulfill.“

The LR1A is installed by cutting a hole in the sheetrock between two wall studs and easily securing the box to the studs using the patented Quick Shims™. The LR1A is used in combination with either a Sanus VisionMount VM400 or LRF118 full-motion wall mount.

The LR1A is currently available and lists for $269.99 U.S., $329.99 Canadian
