Peerless-AV CMAL – Round Column Mount for Digital Signage

Product Overview

The Peerless-AV CMAL is a round column mount for digital signage built to attach commercial displays directly to architectural pillars and support columns. It accommodates columns from 7.9" to 31.5" in diameter and works as a column mount for digital signage displays in venues where wall space is unavailable. Designed for indoor commercial deployment, it pairs with Peerless-AV SmartMount interfaces to support both landscape and portrait orientations. Integrators rely on it for stadiums, arenas, transportation hubs, and retail concourses where columns are the only viable mounting surface.

Product Description

The CMAL solves a common problem in commercial AV integration: how to deploy digital signage when the available structure is a round pillar rather than a flat wall. Its interface uses cut-to-length 18-gauge steel straps that wrap the column and tighten with a single bolt per strap, which speeds alignment and installation. Self-adjusting brackets conform to the exact diameter of the column, while jam nuts keep the strapping from loosening over time under the weight of a commercial display. The mount supports a maximum load of 225 lb and carries a powder-coat black finish suited to public, high-traffic environments.

Because the CMAL is compatible with nearly all Peerless-AV SmartMount flat, tilt, articulating, and portrait mounts, integrators can match the column mount to the viewing requirements of each location rather than being locked into a single bracket type. This makes it a practical pillar display mount for stadium concourses, arena wayfinding, and transportation signage. Compare it with other column and wall mounting hardware in the Peerless-AV collection at Creation Networks to confirm the right SmartMount pairing for your display.

Key Features

• Round Column Compatibility — Mounts digital signage displays to round columns ranging from 7.9" to 31.5" (200 to 800mm) in diameter.
• Cut-to-Length Straps — The 18-gauge steel straps can be trimmed in the field to match the exact circumference of the column for a clean, custom fit.
• Single-Bolt Tightening — Each strap tightens with just one bolt, which eases installation and simplifies display alignment.
• Self-Adjusting Brackets — The mount interface adjusts itself to the diameter of the column so the display sits securely against the curved surface.
• Engineered for Safety — Jam nuts ensure the strapping does not loosen over time under continuous load.
• SmartMount Compatible — Works with nearly all Peerless-AV SmartMount flat, tilt, articulating, and portrait mounts for both landscape and portrait installations.
• 225 lb Load Capacity — Supports commercial displays weighing up to 225 lb (102 kg).
