Vogel's EPC 6545

Projector ceiling mount

Mounting a projector on the ceiling frees up space and keeps cables out of reach, but you still need to aim it precisely at the screen and maintain that alignment over time. This Vogel’s mount combines a ball joint with a wide range of movement, an alignment lock and a connector that releases the projector with a single click. Its universal interface accommodates almost all models weighing up to 10 kg.

A ball joint for framing the image without guesswork

All adjustments are made through a spherical hinge, a ball joint that combines all movements at a single pivot point. The projector rotates 360° around the vertical axis, tilts up to 20° down towards the centre of the screen and allows 20° of roll, a sideways rotation that levels the image when the ceiling is not quite parallel to the floor. This last adjustment is missing from many basic mounts, and it is often what prevents a slightly tilted image. Once the image is correctly framed, the Adjust & Secure (adjustment and locking) function locks the ball joint in position: the image stays aligned from one viewing session to the next, with no further adjustment.

A projector that detaches with one click

The mount consists of two parts: a module screwed to the ceiling and a universal connector attached to the underside of the projector. The two click together, and the reverse action releases the device without unscrewing the ceiling module, making it easier to clean the filters or move the projector to another room. This connector is part of Vogel’s Click & Switch (Attach & Change) system: the same connector fits the brand’s table or wall modules, sold separately, allowing a single projector to move from the living room ceiling to a meeting table without removing its interface.

Cables and mounting hardware hidden from view

The CIS cable management system, patented by Vogel’s, houses power and signal cables inside the mount rather than leaving them hanging alongside it. When the projector is removed, the supplied ceiling cover conceals the module and cables, leaving only a discreet silver-finished piece on the ceiling. The mount’s design has won the iF Product Design Award and the Good Industrial Design Award, and the assembly is certified by TÜV, an organisation that checks equipment safety and mechanical strength.

A close-to-ceiling installation

The distance between the ceiling and the top of the projector is fixed at 76 mm, with no extension tube or height adjustment. The device therefore stays close to the ceiling, freeing up headroom beneath the image, but you need to check before drilling that the lens can reach the top of the screen. A projector with lens shift, which moves the image optically without moving the housing, handles this easily. Without this feature, tilting the ball joint compensates for the height, at the cost of a trapezoidal image that the projector corrects digitally with a slight loss of resolution. The supplied mounting hardware is suitable for solid wood, brick or concrete ceilings with a surface covering no thicker than 3 mm. Vogel’s guarantees the mount for 10 years.
