• How can I assess whether my desktop environment and workspace are suitable for the use of the AM01/AM02?

  Desktop Material Restrictions: It is recommended to use solid wood, durable engineered wood, or metal desktops. Desktops made of glass, hollow core, or honeycomb structures are more fragile and, therefore, not suitable for monitor stand installation, as uneven stress may cause damage to the surface.

  Desk Edge Structure Restrictions: If the desk edge features a bevel or a large rounded corner exceeding 2.5 cm, the desk clamp may not secure properly. In such cases, a through-desk mounting method is advised.

  Under-Desk Clearance: If there are frames, crossbars, or partitions located too close to the desk edge underneath, the clamp may be obstructed and unable to fasten securely. Under these circumstances, a through-desk mounting solution is necessary.

  Supported Desktop Thickness: The AM01 and AM02 support desktop thicknesses—from 15 mm to 70 mm (0.59" to 2.76")—for both clamp and through-desk mounting options.

  Rear Clearance: If your desk is positioned flush against a wall with less than 11 cm of clearance between the desktop and the wall, the desk clamp may not fit properly. Additionally, please ensure sufficient space to accommodate the stand’s range of motion to prevent collisions with the wall when rotating or adjusting the monitor’s depth.

• How should I choose between the "Desk Clamp" and the "Grommet" when installing the Studio Arm AM01/AM02?

  The product packaging includes both the "desk clamp" and "grommet" mounting accessories for your choice (supporting desktop thicknesses from 10mm to 70mm):

  Desk Clamp: Secures the arm to the edge of the desk using a C-shaped clamp at the base, requiring no drilling or modification of the desk. This method is the preferred choice for most users with standalone desks or height-adjustable desks when setting up their workstation.

  Grommet: Utilizes existing cable management holes on the desktop or requires drilling a hole in the desktop, through which a bolt is passed and tightened to secure the arm. This option is especially suitable when the back of the desk is blocked by partitions or when the desk is placed flush against a wall, making the desk clamp unusable.

  Base Cable Cover: Can hold up to 6 cables (e.g., 2 power cords with a 7.5mm diameter + 4 HDMI cables with a 6.5mm diameter).

• After installing the AM02 monitor arm, do I need to adjust the monitor’s tilt tension?

• Are there any recommended cable lengths for cable management?

  The base cable management box is primarily designed to store peripheral cables and does not have any specific cable length requirements.
  For managing cables along the rear arm of the bracket:
  Taking the cables connected directly to the monitor as an example (e.g., if you have 4 Type-C cables), a length of 1.5 meters is recommended if you plan to move, extend, or adjust the height of the arm.
