How To Do Soundbar Wall Mounting Installation On A TV?

Soundbars are a great choice for home theater. They are compact and stylish, and the quality is better than ever. When it comes to placement, they can sit on a shroud or bolt to the wall like a TV, but why not take it to the next level and attach it to your TV? Here's how:

1. Buy a universal bracket to connect the soundbar to your TV.
2. If the TV is installed, remove it from the wall
3. Remove the TV mount (if necessary) and note the location of the bracket depending on the mount.
4. Attach the Soundbar Bracket and TV Wall Mount Bracket to the TV.
5. Check again if the soundbar fits the brackets, then mount the TV on the wall again.
6. Attach the soundbar to the bracket and check

Soundbar wall mounting installation on your TV isn't a difficult process, but it's important to make sure you set yourself up for success from the start. You'll want to purchase a great TV soundbar bracket and then make sure the bracket fits your components properly.

You may also wonder about some of the pros and cons of mounting the soundbar wall mounting installation directly to your TV and some good options for this project. We will discuss all these details below, starting with how the installation process looks like:

1) Buy A Universal Bracket To Connect The Soundbar To Your TV.

You can find universal brackets to mount the soundbar to your TV, electronics stores, and major retailers like Walmart. There are also brackets for connecting the soundbar wall mounting installation to the TV that are made specifically for certain products, but these are usually unnecessary and overpriced.

We will work with most soundbars as well as most TV wall mounts. This is important if your TV will be wall-mounted and a soundbar will also be installed.

2) If Installed, Remove The TV From The Wall

Your TV may already be installed when you decide to add a soundbar wall mounting installation, in which case don't worry. It can be a bit of a hassle to remove it and disassemble the soundbar, but if you do it right, you'll only need to do this once.

If your TV is not installed, you can skip this step. If you have a new TV that hasn't been installed yet and you need to mount it to the wall during this installation, go ahead and install the wall bracket because the location of the soundbar mounting bracket depends on where the wall mount placement will be.

3) Remove The TV Bracket And Install The Eye Bracket.

As mentioned earlier, you may already have a wall mount on your TV. Everything is fine. In fact, this is very important because the soundbar mounting bracket needs to use the same holes as the wall mount bracket, so you need to figure out how these brackets will fit together.

This should be easy to do: with the TV laid flat, place the TV wall mount on top of the TV where it needs to be in order to properly mount the TV on the wall. If you haven't tested the wall mount yet - you'll need to do that first so you know which holes to use on your TV mount.

Then lay the soundbar wall mounting installation bracket on top of the wall mount bracket to visually determine which holes on the soundbar bracket you will use depending on where you want the soundbar to hang. You will most likely need a soundbar nearby to confirm. If you have any artist or anything else you can use to mark the holes, make a mark on them.

Be sure to leave enough space between the bottom of the TV and the top of the soundbar for any buttons on the top of the unit to work.

4) Attach The Wall Mount And Soundbar Bracket To The TV.

At this point, installing the soundbar mount and bracket should be an easy task. Just use the holes you marked to make sure everything is in the right place and use the hardware that came with your mount and bracket to secure them.

One note: You may need to buy new screws from the hardware store if the originals are no longer enough. If you use one fat screw through the soundbar bracket and wall mount and then into the back of the TV, you may not have enough screw depth to play with.

And this is not the time when you want to skimp on this. These screws secure the TV to the wall.

5) Make Sure Your Soundbar Fits The Bracket, Then Reinstall Your TV.

Now that everything is secured, check if the soundbar wall mounting installation fits with the brackets. If so, you're ready to mount the TV on the wall again, with the soundbar still unattached. This is to prevent excess weight or additional risk of two devices falling together while reinstalling the TV.

6) Attach The Soundbar And Check

You are now finally ready to attach the soundbar wall mounting installation to the bracket, so go ahead and use the hardware that came with the bracket to secure the soundbar in place. You are now ready to connect to your TV or media device via HDMI/HCMI Arc, Optical, RCA, or Bluetooth to test the device.

There's one thing to watch out for here: make sure there's enough room to control the soundbar if it has buttons on the top. If there is not enough space, you may need to remove the TV from the wall and change the mounting bracket.
