About the Extron AMK 2 Angled Mounting Kit for TouchLink Pro Touchpanels & TouchLink Scheduling Panels
The Extron AMK 2 is a precision-engineered mounting kit designed to provide an optimal, fixed viewing angle for specific models of wall-mounted touchpanels. Its primary function is to enhance user ergonomics and screen visibility by tilting the touchpanel downward, typically at a 15-degree angle. This subtle but critical adjustment positions the screen perpendicular to the user's natural line of sight when standing or sitting at a typical distance from the wall, thereby reducing glare from overhead lighting and minimizing neck strain. The kit is specifically tailored for select Extron TouchLink Pro and Scheduling Panel families, ensuring a perfect fit, seamless integration, and a professional, finished appearance that maintains the aesthetic integrity of the installed system.
Installation of the AMK 2 is straightforward and designed for clean, low-profile results. The kit includes a custom-molded metal mounting plate that attaches securely to the wall, replacing the standard flat backbox. The touchpanel then attaches directly to this angled plate using the same secure locking mechanism as the standard mount. All necessary mounting hardware and detailed installation templates are provided to guarantee proper alignment and a hassle-free setup process. The design also incorporates dedicated channels for cable management, allowing interconnection and power cables to be routed neatly behind the panel and into the wall, eliminating visual clutter and protecting the cables from damage.
Constructed from durable cold-rolled steel with a matte black powder-coat finish, the AMK 2 is built for long-term reliability in commercial environments such as conference rooms, classrooms, and lobbies. It transforms a flat wall installation into a more user-centric interface point. By optimizing the interaction angle, this mounting kit directly contributes to increased user adoption and satisfaction, as the touchpanel becomes more comfortable and intuitive to use. It represents a thoughtful accessory that addresses a key human-factor detail, elevating a standard installation into a more functional and engaging user experience.
