The Peerless-AV recessed box is the perfect accessory to hide all the messy bits for a wall mounted TV (breakout box for TV, Apple TV, surge protector and electrical wiring. I installed the box in conjunction with a Kanto LS340 single stud mount, worked perfectly above the fireplace in my 1935 home. NOTE - prior to ordering/installing, I drilled a 1" diameter hole in the wall to measure the available depth and used a flex camera to explore the area in the wall above my fireplace mantle to ensure there was room to handle the depth of the box. Do your homework first to save trouble.
