Peerless-AV DST940-BTB – Dual Display Back-to-Back Ceiling Mount 37–46"

Product Overview

The Peerless-AV DST940-BTB is a dual display back-to-back ceiling mount system for 37-to-46-inch flat panel displays, delivering a two-sided digital signage solution from a single ceiling drop point. Designed for commercial environments where messaging must reach audiences on both sides of a space—such as restaurant menu signage, airport flight information displays, retail department floors, and entertainment venues—the DST940-BTB mounts two displays back-to-back with precise alignment, independent horizontal slide adjustment, and up to 2 degrees of tilt per display. Commercial AV integrators specifying back-to-back ceiling-hung digital signage will find the DST940-BTB a purpose-engineered solution with a straightforward hook-on installation process.

Product Description

The DST940-BTB dual back-to-back ceiling mount supports two 37-to-46-inch flat panel displays suspended from a single ceiling mounting point, with one display facing forward and one facing rearward on the same structural column. This configuration delivers 360-degree audience coverage from a single installation footprint, making it highly efficient for open-plan commercial environments where content needs to reach both sides of a traffic flow or seating area.

Each display attaches to an adaptor plate via a hook-on mechanism, significantly accelerating the installation process compared to bolt-on mounting methods. A secure locking design ensures displays remain firmly attached to the adaptor plate once hooked on. Both displays are independently adjustable: each can slide horizontally to fine-tune positioning, and each can tilt up to 2 degrees to optimize the viewing angle for the specific ceiling height and audience sight-line. This combination of slide and tilt gives integrators the control needed to achieve ideal display placement without structural modifications.

The DST940-BTB is well-suited for quick-service restaurant overhead menu boards, airport and transit departure/arrival information panels, retail signage in wide-aisle environments, and entertainment venue promotional displays. The mount's engineering prioritizes installation speed and alignment accuracy, which reduces labor cost on deployments involving multiple units across a large floor plan. The DST940-BTB is available from Creation Networks as part of the Peerless-AV commercial mounting solutions portfolio.

Key Features

• Dual Display Back-to-Back Configuration — Mounts two 37-to-46-inch flat panels back-to-back on a single ceiling drop, providing two-sided audience coverage from one installation point.
• Hook-On Adaptor Plate Installation — Displays hook onto the adaptor plate for fast installation, reducing on-site labor time compared to conventional bolt-on mounting methods.
• Secure Display Attachment — Engineered attachment mechanism ensures displays are firmly locked onto the adaptor plate once installed.
• Independent Horizontal Slide Adjustment — Each display slides independently along a horizontal axis to fine-tune positioning and achieve balanced, symmetrical alignment.
• Up to 2-Degree Tilt per Display — Individual tilt adjustment on each display allows the viewing angle to be optimized for ceiling height and audience position.
• Single Ceiling Drop Point — Both displays are supported from one structural attachment point, simplifying ceiling penetration and conduit routing in commercial construction.
• Suitable for 37–46" Flat Panels — Compatible with commercial flat panel displays in the common digital signage size range of 37 to 46 inches diagonal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the DST940-BTB support displays larger than 46 inches?

A: The DST940-BTB is rated for displays from 37 to 46 inches diagonal. For dual back-to-back ceiling mount requirements involving larger displays, contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net/pages/contact to identify the appropriate Peerless-AV model.

Q: How are the displays attached to the DST940-BTB mount?

A: Each display hooks onto an adaptor plate that is part of the DST940-BTB structure. The hook-on method is designed for fast field installation and produces a secure attachment once the display is fully engaged with the plate.

Q: Can the two displays be tilted independently?

A: Yes. Each display can be tilted independently up to 2 degrees, allowing the installer to optimize the viewing angle for each side of the installation separately based on ceiling height and audience position.

Q: Is horizontal position adjustment possible after the displays are hung?

A: Yes. Both displays can slide horizontally along their respective adaptor plates to fine-tune left-right positioning. This adjustment is available after hanging, simplifying the alignment process during installation.

Q: What ceiling structures can the DST940-BTB be installed from?

A: The DST940-BTB connects to a structural ceiling drop point. Suitable ceiling structures include concrete decks, structural steel, and suspended ceiling systems with appropriate structural backing. The installer is responsible for confirming that the ceiling structure meets the load requirements for two displays plus the mount weight. Consult a structural professional for installations in non-standard ceiling conditions.

Q: Is the DST940-BTB appropriate for a restaurant digital menu board installation?

A: Yes. The DST940-BTB is specifically noted by Peerless-AV as a solution for restaurant menu signage, where the back-to-back configuration allows one structural installation to serve customers on both sides of a service counter or in a multi-lane queue environment.

Q: How does the single ceiling drop point benefit commercial installations?

A: Using a single ceiling penetration point for two displays reduces the number of structural attachments, conduit drops, and cable management runs required—lowering installation cost and ceiling disruption compared to mounting two independent single-display drops side by side.
