A mounted soundbar should look like it belongs with the TV, not like it was added as an afterthought. ZehmTV provides professional soundbar installation with wall-mounted and compatible TV-mounted options.
The right mounting method depends on your TV, soundbar, bracket compatibility, TV mount and the finished look you want.
A compatible soundbar-to-TV bracket allows the soundbar to move with the television when used with many full-motion TV mounts.
This can create a clean, unified appearance because the soundbar stays visually aligned with the TV instead of remaining fixed to the wall.
The soundbar can also be mounted independently beneath the television for a clean, centered installation.
Wall mounting works especially well when the TV is fixed or tilted and you want the soundbar positioned separately from the TV mount.
Choose the setup that most closely matches your project. Bracket compatibility, wall construction and cable-management requirements may need to be reviewed first.
