- In my opinion, mounting a soundbar to a TV is the best method for mounting a soundbar. Mounting a soundbar to a wall can be very difficult and often there isn't a lot of room for error.
When you mount it to the TV, there's no need to drill additional holes in the wall. It also allows the soundbar to move with the TV if you are using an articulating mount!

Soundbar is the Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro (on Amazon):

Steps for Mounting a Soundbar to a TV:
1. Get a soundbar mount. I suggest the mounting dream soundbar mount.
2. Remove the TV from the wall (if it is currently mounted).
3. Remove the mount from the back of the TV (if needed).
4. Attach the soundbar mounting brackets to the back of the TV along with the TV's wall mounting brackets.
PRO TIP: Make sure your screws are plenty long enough. Otherwise, you can risk your TV falling off the wall.
5.a. Make sure the soundbar will properly attach to the mounting brackets.
5.b. Or go ahead and attach the soundbar to the mounting brackets.
6. Mount the TV back to the wall.
7. Attach the soundbar to the mounting brackets (if you haven't already). If you wait till the TV is on the wall to attach the soundbar, then screw in 1 side first then screw in the opposite size.

Whoa. His hair grew 3 inches after the mount. 😂😆 .. that's a long installment
Lmao
Thanks I purchased the mount right after watching your video on amazon. Looking forward to getting it soon.
Great video! This was exactly what I was looking for. Great information in just a few minutes. Well done!
Should be selling a hair growth product not installing TV
Using those exact mounting brackets, can you mount them on the outside/exterior of the vesa mount or does it have to be between the tv and vesa mount like in your video? I've seen it both ways, as I guess it helps with how far out your soundbar protrudes from the tv. I just wanted to make sure its safe. Thank u!
Great video, I was thinking about mounting a soundbar under my son's TCL 6 series which is currently wall-mounted. It looks like it has a separate setup threaded screw holes right next to the TV wall. So I'm thinking I can melt this type of bracket right to the TV without taking the TV mount off
Hi, I get this for mi Nakamichi and looks very good now....thanks my friend for share this video...
Hey, I've read that mounting a soundbar to tv must have at least 10 cm gap between bar and tv, what's your opinion on this? I'm hoping to buy a Sonos Arc and mount it this way, but looks wise I'd much prefer bar closer to tv, although they say it can impede on sound.
Nice choice on the Shockwafe
Can this mount work for the Vizio 2.1 M series soundbar? I ask because it has the shape of it looking like it has to sit flat. I'm thinking if I use this bracket the speakers on the bar might face up or down and not having the sound come straight out toward where I'll be sitting.
Good information. Good job.
I will be using tv stand and under that I will mount the sound bar. So what should be the size of the screw ?
Thank you so much for this!
Interesting. I put my soundbar in wall ( under tv pretty close ). It s not level and that bothers me. I have an articulating tv wall mount which could easily allow me to attach it to tv instead. I just may do that to bring it level. Thanks for the better idea.
Sir i have a question where did u get the new screws from where the tv dnt fall
it'd be awesome if you do an update on the subject and suggest multiple mounts, and maybe if there are some soundbars that have a different mounting mechanism to be aware of.
this actually helped a lot 😀
It would be even better if he could suggest multiple TVs too since some have different shape, width, and depth so people know what kind of aesthetic combinations are possible.
i have a nakamichi 9.2.4 so this is very helpful my tv is 86" LG i have it mounted to the wall but my tv mount extends but i don't have enough space when trying to connect say my xbox do you know a good mount that will extend further i know you don't know how far my mount extends but be nice if you had a good recommendation 😀
My samsung sound bar mount goes from underneath to the back basically 2 L brackets , think it would be safe to attach those to it? I have the Hw-Q850t/zc sound bar.
Theirs is also different types of soundbars mounts, others are really nice & can be adjusted while the tv is mounted.
Would this work for a Dolby Atmos equipped sound bar.
Did the soundbar have predrilled holes for the mounting screws?
Does this work with tabletop tv mounts?
Can the soundbar do damage to the TV when mounted to it? I just got an LG C2 and Sonos Arc. LG customer service said they had some TVs crack from vibration.
Buen video amigo gracias
can you do this with a Bose solo soundbar series II?
Where did he get the longer screws?
Looks Like You Have A Hairy Helper Too lol. Thanks For The Info
Nakamichi, nice 👌
Mounting Yamaha 1080 soundbar .. one thing interesting I can't find in any of these sound bar mounting videos, if you just put that sound bar on a table below the tv you would sit it flat on the table however the keyholes for wall or TV mounting are on the bottom which means when you mount it on the wall you would flip it up on its back so the orientation is different than sitting it on a table, but no one talks about this nuance. changing the orientation I suspect would alter the sound quality not sure For better or for worse. when you mount it to the bottom of the TV as in your video should you keep the orientation of the soundbar the same as if you were sitting it on the table and the keyholes would be on the bottom and you would use an L-shaped bracket or would you flip it on its bottom so the key holes are on the back so the sound bar is essentially standing up on end? Same with other brands hard to tell which orientation flat or on edge they should be mounted. To clarify the sound bar itself is always running left to right horizontal I'm not talking about mounting it up and down vertically, just asking whether it is flat on the bottom or flipped up on it's end against the wall. Hope that's clear let me know what you think.
Can you install a soundbar when using an attachable tv stand? My current soundbar is attached to the top of the set, using Soundbar Brackets. My new set Hisense 55U8G has a larger footprint than my current stand. I decided to get a Perlsmith PSTVS04 to replace the stand. But I still want to use my soundbar. Is it possible to somehow attach both to the back of the set? Or would I I have to just place the sound bar below the front of the set? HELP!!
What’s screw length did you used?
Will this work on a bose soundbar 700
What size of "new" longer Screws for the tv?
Just purchased the bracket under lightening deal! Thanks
Happy to help!
hey man, just wanted to say i found your channel super helpful. how would you feel about mounting a soundbar with upward firing speakers?
I appreciate that! I think that's perfectly fine. Just make sure that 1) the TV or anything else isn't obstructing the upward firing speakers in any way. And 2) the soundbar is mounted as close to "sitting ear level" (ear level while sitting on chairs, couch, etc.) as possible.
1:40 ok definitely have to remove that meow from the back of the tv 😹
i have a 75 inch TCL and the mount i bought wouldn't work, i wonder if this would work
Can I use on top of my TV. It is on a stand
Any reason why you couldn't mount the sound bar to the bottom of the tv even if the tv is on a stand? I have an issue with the TV stand interfering with the sound bar being placed in front of the tv.
I can tell you're a carpenter with a Festool drill!
Is it worth using one of these if I have a Dolby Atmos soundbar (with rear surround speakers, or is it best I leave the soundbar stationary on the wall? I have the exact same SANUS TV mount as you, so the TV can move on the arm. But I think the soundbar I have has room/wall detection, so would the sound be less immersive if it were on these special mounts (since I don't think Dolby Atmos soundbars are designed to swivel on mounts)? I would expect them to be designed to stay stationary on the wall due to its room/wall detection technology and potential interference that comes with moving them around
What TV mount are you using? I'm looking for something that can angle nearly 90 degrees from the wall, and this seems pretty close. Thanks.
I believe it the SANUS Simplicity 37" - 90" Full-Motion TV Mount from Costco. Very expensive, but it's an awesome mount!
Nice video.
I want to Mount my soundbar above my TV with the TV still attached to my TV 📺 stand.
in this way, how to hide the power cable of the soundbar?
Is weight not an issue with this ?
Thx
Hey man, really loving your videos. Just found you recently and you've been really helpful! I was wondering if i could mount my Sonos Arc the same way you did. Would it cause any loss in the quality of the sound?
Glad you’re enjoying the videos! It’s definitely possible, but I would make sure that you have a very sturdy soundbar mount and TV mount if it’s on an articulating arm.
@@JonahMatthes Alright thanks a lot!
@@JonahMatthes sorry to bother you again but do you think the soundbar mount you used in this video would be sturdy enough for the Arc? if not, do you have any recommendations?
Does the Sonos arc have a place to attach mounting screws to it
Yes, there are 2 mounting holes on the back of it. However, I wouldn't suggest attaching the Sonos Arc to the TV unless you have a very sturdy soundbar mount. It is extremely heavy compared to a lot of soundbars.
I guess this will not work for me. My large screen TV is mounted on the wall and it is too heavy to remove and in an awkward place. Anyone know if a wireless sound bar is what I need????????????
Ugh- tv is massive and mounted to the wall already. Wish there was an option to install this while tv is mounted on wall mount
dude i was going to mount my sound bar to the wall and im just scratching my head. that would have been a TERRIBLE idea! THANK YOU FOR THIS I WILL BE BUYING THIS PRODUCT!
that seems like a bunch of weight to add to modern thin LED tv's though.
In your video, the assumption is that the mounting screws are at the rear of the found bar. I have a Bose sound bar and the screws are in the bottom. Yes this makes a big difference
Hey mate, did you find a solution for this in the end? My Samsung soundbar just turned up and the mounting points are on the base also
can you tell me what kind of tv, and sound bar did you use
mount
Mount and Soundbar are both linked in the description! The TV is a VIZIO V505-G9. Nothing special, but it gets the job done!
Ok that's tight
Used aluminum and mounted to the the holes the TV had to mount legs weren't being used anyways lol
1:56 I prefer bolt and nut style and use the other holes I guess.
Does this work on curved TV’s?
It should! Might look a little weird, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Wondering why you didn’t conceal the cables in the wall. Black bundle against light colored wall equals eyesore
100% Agree. Temporary living situation so I can’t cut large holes in the wall for cable pass-throughs 😕
I did all 5 of mine like this ordered the bracket for 12 bucks from Amazon super easy
Has anyone ever used this mount above the television ?
Bro the cat just wanted to mount the tv 😂
Tv on desk but no place for sound bar...
Why not add the sound bar before putting the whole unit back on the wall
Exactly my thoughts. Only thing i can think of is there wont be any space for your hand to support the base. But you could always leave the soundbar loose for hand space then wallmount the tv then tighten up the soundbar bracket
Makes sense to me the way he did it.
Just install the brackets, then the soundbar, less weight means less effort to to put the tv back up on the mount. The two small soundbar bracket arms are adjustable. Its more suitable for me to do it this way since I depend on my wife to help me out lifting a 35-50 lbs TV above shoulder height.
So now you can see the mount that holds the sound bar. No bueno
Someone who places his own TV this high doesn't look like a trustful source for anything TV/audio related.
Hahaha the cat
2:15.. did he just put that TV face down on top of a coffee table? im surprised that TV still works.
Can I mount the brackets on top of tv mount without removing tv. Single woman.
Unfortunately no, you’ll have to remove the TV from the wall first. Also, depending on the weight of the soundbar you might not be able to mount it on top of it.
1:41
catt attack
3:17 don't not hear this part
Why do know of these videos ever show the cables being installed for sub woofer, power or cable TV box. It's the oddest thing ever and its like that in every video.
Too much work just to have my soundbar mounted on my tv lol I’ll just leave it sitting as it is on top of my fireplace.
Why didn’t you mount the sound bar on the TV while the TV was laying on the table… That would’ve been easier
Can you mount the sound bar before you hang the tv?
Never mind! Just watched to the end!
My TV fell off the wall !
You didn't get the longer screws!
Gonna mess your screen up laying flat like that.
Omg this is freaking me out . I was happy when I seen him stand it up on couch and thought at least his not one of guys that thinks you can lay it flat. 🤦
That TV is waaaaaay to high..
Of course my LG soundbar has to be fucking ignorant and have mounting holes on the bottom.
You lost me when I seen your screen laying FLAT 😯
No need to remove the tv lol
The sound bar mounts go under the TV backplate, so you need to. Watch from 1:40 again
