Middle Atlantic DS-1-FS – Forum Free-Standing Display Stand for Flat Panels

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic DS-1-FS Forum Free-Standing Display Stand is a commercial-grade floor-standing display support system designed for hybrid collaboration spaces, open-plan offices, and enclosed conference rooms where a fixed wall mount is not practical. Engineered for single flat-panel displays ranging from 42" to 75", the DS-1-FS includes a Chief Fusion Fixed display mount and an acoustic felt-wrapped tower that reduces audio reverberation for both in-room and remote meeting participants. The minimal-footprint base accommodates Wiremold OFR and Connectrac under-floor raceways, making it a suitable commercial digital signage and videoconferencing display stand for cable-managed environments.

Product Description

The DS-1-FS is part of Middle Atlantic's Forum furniture system, a coordinated line of AV furniture designed to support hybrid videoconferencing deployments. The unit ships with a Chief Fusion Fixed display mount (LSA1U) that supports a single 65"-75", 55"-65", or 42"-55" flat-panel display. The tower and display shroud are wrapped in Silver Gray acoustic felt made from 100% polyester containing up to 50% recycled PET (post-consumer plastic bottles), which limits audio reverberation that degrades microphone clarity and meeting quality for remote participants.

The equipment storage area below the display uses Wilsonart Designer White compact laminate, a commercial-grade, cleanable surface appropriate for shared meeting environments. A 4RU rack-mount bay plus Middle Atlantic's patented Lever Lock small device mounting system provides enough capacity to support a full videoconferencing codec, network switch, and ancillary devices in a single, organized enclosure. Front access doors slide open for unimpeded equipment servicing, and removable rear panels on the top and bottom of the storage area allow full rear access without moving the stand.

The powdercoated steel base is available in black or white to coordinate with room finishes. A 1" leveling foot accommodates uneven flooring and provides clearance for Wiremold OFR or Connectrac raceways, enabling clean in-floor cable routing without exposed conduit. The DS-1-FS pairs directly with the Forum Arc and Angle Tables for complete hybrid meeting room furniture packages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size displays does the DS-1-FS support?

A: The DS-1-FS supports a single flat panel in three size ranges: 42"-55", 55"-65", or 65"-75". The included Chief Fusion Fixed mount (LSA1U) is specified to match the target display size at time of order.

Q: Does the DS-1-FS require wall anchoring?

A: No. The DS-1-FS is a free-standing unit with a powdercoated steel base and leveling feet, making it suitable for open spaces where wall mounting is not possible.

Q: How does the acoustic felt improve meeting quality?

A: The Silver Gray acoustic felt wrapped around the tower and display shroud absorbs reflected sound near the display, reducing reverberation that can degrade microphone capture and make remote participants difficult to hear.
