Chief SLM298 Mounting Bracket for Projector - Black, Silver, White

The Chief SLM298 Mounting Bracket delivers flexible, high-precision interface options for the RPM family of projector mounts. Designed to accommodate both universal and custom interface configurations, it gives integrators and AV professionals a reliable path to align, level, and position projectors with ease. Available in Black, Silver, and White finishes, the SLM298 blends performance with aesthetic versatility, making it suitable for classrooms, lecture halls, corporate spaces, and home theaters alike.

With roots in Chief’s acclaimed mounting ecosystem, the SLM298 is engineered to simplify complex installs without sacrificing stability or alignment. Its thoughtful design helps technicians manage cable routing, balance, and throw distance in tight ceilings, elevated ceilings, or wall-mounted setups. This bracket is an essential component for projects that require precise placement and quick reconfiguration, whether you’re upgrading an existing RPM installation or planning a new build from the ground up.

  • Universal and custom interface compatibility: The SLM298 supports Chief’s 1st-generation universal brackets (SLMO), the 2nd-generation universal brackets (SLMU), and custom interface brackets (SLMXXX) or Chief’s MountFinder Pro for a precise fit. This flexibility makes it easy to pair with a wide range of projector makes and models, streamlining procurement and installation planning.
  • RPM series integration for secure alignment: Specifically engineered to pair with the RPM series projector mounts, the SLM298 ensures a secure attachment foundation and smooth, repeatable alignment. This compatibility minimizes misalignment during service and reconfiguration, preserving image geometry and keystone control over time.
  • Flexible positioning and precise adjustment: The bracket supports adjustable tilt, pan, and extension within its interface system, enabling technicians to dial in the exact throw distance and screen alignment. Whether your space demands a low-profile flush look or a prominent projection angle, the SLM298 adapts to deliver optimal image placement.
  • Durable construction with versatile finishes: Built from premium materials and finished in Black, Silver, and White, the SLM298 withstands the demands of busy environments. The robust construction resists daily wear and tear and remains visually consistent with other Chief mounting components across multiple rooms and venues.
  • Installer-friendly features to reduce downtime: Designed with installer efficiency in mind, the SLM298 enables straightforward assembly and adjustment, minimizing on-site time. Thoughtful access points, clearly labeled interfaces, and modular design help technicians configure, test, and finalize installations quickly and confidently.

  • Interface flexibility: Supports both universal and custom interface setups, enabling seamless integration with a broad spectrum of projector brands and models without sacrificing alignment precision.
  • Adjustment range: Delivers adjustable tilt, pan, and projection offset within the constraints of the chosen interface, allowing precise image placement and keystone control even in awkward ceiling or wall installations.
  • Installation footprint: Designed to integrate cleanly with existing RPM mounts and ancillary accessories, streamlining compatibility across multiple room configurations and upgrade paths.
  • Maintenance: Simple access for inspection and periodic tightening maintains long-term stability and performance, with materials chosen to resist corrosion and wear in varied environments.

How to install Chief SLM298

  • Identify the appropriate interface path for your installation: universal (SLMO/SLMU) or a custom interface (SLMXXX) with MountFinder Pro if your projector requires a non-standard interface. Verify compatibility with your RPM mount configuration before proceeding.
  • Mount the SLM298 to the RPM bracket in the approved orientation, ensuring the attachment points align with the selected interface. Use the manufacturer-recommended fasteners and torque specifications to secure the connection firmly without over-tightening.
  • Attach the projector to the SLM298 interface using the appropriate mounting pattern and hardware for your projector model. Confirm that the projector sits level and that the balance is appropriate for your ceiling or wall installation. Adjust to roughly horizontal before fine-tuning.
  • Fine-tune tilt, pan, and extension to achieve precise image alignment. Check image geometry from multiple seating positions and make incremental adjustments to minimize distortion and keystone effects. Lock all set screws or fasteners once the desired configuration is achieved.
  • Route power and signal cables using provided channels or clips to maintain a clean appearance and prevent strain on connections. Re-check alignment after cable management is complete, as tension can subtly shift position over time.
  • Test the entire system by powering on the projector and projecting a test image. Verify color accuracy, brightness uniformity, and edge-to-edge focus. If required, perform final micro-adjustments to maintain optimal image quality across the active viewing area.

Frequently asked questions

  • What projectors is the Chief SLM298 compatible with? The SLM298 is designed to work with Chief’s RPM series mounts and supports both universal interface brackets (SLMO/SLMU) and custom interface configurations (SLMXXX) in conjunction with MountFinder Pro for non-standard projector models. Always verify compatibility with your projector’s weight, throw distance, and mounting hole pattern.
  • In which colors is the SLM298 available? The bracket is offered in Black, Silver, and White finishes to complement a wide range of installation aesthetics and to coordinate with other Chief mounting components.
  • Does the SLM298 support quick adjustments during installation? Yes. The design emphasizes installer-friendly adjustments, enabling tilt, pan, and extension changes with secure locking mechanisms to minimize rework and ensure stable alignment after final mounting.
  • Do I need MountFinder Pro for all installations? MountFinder Pro is recommended when using custom interface brackets or non-standard projector configurations. For standard RPM setups with universal interfaces, a basic SLM298 installation may suffice. Check your projector’s interface requirements before purchasing.
  • Is maintenance required after installation? Periodic inspection of fasteners and interface screws is advised to maintain stability. Cleaning and re-tightening as part of routine maintenance helps preserve alignment integrity in busy environments where vibration or usage patterns can affect positioning over time.
