How to hang a sound bar using the Sanus SA405 sound bar mount

Part of the recent office expansion here at Digital Trends included construction of a rather large kitchen and dining space. To finish it off, we mounted two of Vizio's 47-inch Razor LED TV's on the wall with articulating mounts from Sanus. To deliver great audio, installing sound bars on each set was the obvious choice. And that was made easy thanks to Sanus SA405 sound bar mount. It easily attaches to the TV mount and provides a place to simply hang the sound bar. We chose the Vizio 38 inch 2.0 Home Theater Sound Bar S3820w-C0.

The process is very simple and only requires a screwdriver.

1. Attach the upper hanger arms of the sound bar mount to the back of the TV. To do this, loosen the bottom set of mounting screws which hold the wall mount to the TV. Adjust the sound bar hanger arms so they extend to the bottom edge of the TV.

2. Determine which set of mounting hardware fits the back of your sound bar. For the Vizio sound bar, we used the screws included with the sound bar. Refer to your sound bar's instructions for specific detail. Then attach the lower set of hanger arms for the sound bar mount. Tighten it so it's secure but has a bit of play.

3. Fit the upper and lower arms of the sound bar mount together, and use the provided nuts to secure the mounts together. Leave them just a bit loose.

4. Raise the sound bar up to the bottom of the TV and center it. Tighten the screws and nuts.

5. Attach the power cable and audio cable from the TV. Make sure to route the wires so they are secure but allow for full movement of the TV mount.

Exactly what I needed to see I’m looking at getting a tv with a sound bar connected to the bottom of it

I was wondering if the Roku Streambar Pro would work with the Sanus soundbar mount as well?

Can we attach for on top of tv. On a stand

I have a 32" vizio mounted to wall just bought a vizio 28" soundbar so is there hardware bracket available for my tv to do what was done here?

Okay so I have my TV mounted to the wall. And I took off the stand... Is there a universal adapter I can screw in a speaker mount where the stand was?? Is that a thing and if not why not??

Question. Is this compatible with a JBL SB400? My soundbar does not have a "screw-in" or "key hole" type back to mount it. Instead, it has 2 open areas for "hook" type mounting. Thanks

What is the weight rating for this bar mount. I have the samsung Q80 r sound bar pairing to the Samsung q80 r tv. This sound bar is quiet heavy

[rapaent]

It appears that the weight of the sound bar is placed more on the TV than the mount itself. Is this the case? Also, would this work with a VESA 300mm x 200mm pattern? My TV is an LG OLED55C8PUA Thanks. Ray

Will this only work with sanus tv mounts?

I can’t seem to be able to fix my JBL 9.1 sound bar with it since the screws are on the bottom... and not at the back, very confusing
