Insignia™ - Rear/Bottom Soundbar Mount for Wall Mounted TVs - Black

Works perfect with my new tv and the sound bar I had. I definitely would recommend.

The concept of attaching a soundbar directly to an existing TV mount is a smart space-saving idea. However, I did start with some minor reservations about the total weight being added to my current setup. My 40 inch television weighs about 13 pounds, and the soundbar adds another 10 pounds. Since my original TV mount is rated for 55 pounds, the math works out safely, but it is something you should check before you start. - Unboxing, Design, and Build Quality - Right out of the box, the product feels sturdy and seems to be a quality build. It comes in standard packaging and includes a good variety of hardware and parts to accommodate different TV sizes, designs and VESA patterns. The attachment pieces are simple and finished in a matte black that blends in well behind the screen of my television. There are plenty of adjustment points, which is helpful since you can shift the arms to fit various soundbar lengths and heights. I used this on a 40" TV and it seems like every size and type is accounted for. I kept the extra hardware in my toolbox. - Installation - The process took me roughly an hour and fifteen minutes. (If I had to do it again it might take me 30 minutes, I slowed down to make sure everything was correct and secure.) To do this properly, I had to pull my TV down from the wall, remove the current mount from the back of the set, and then sandwich the soundbar mount between the TV and the original hardware. On a 40 inch television, the final result feels sturdy. I found it a bit awkward to get everything perfectly level while holding the bars in place, but it was manageable. The arms that support the soundbar can be adjusted by loosening the knobs, allowing for minor tweaks to the positioning. While the design is effective, its overall stability largely depends on the quality of your existing TV mount. My mount swivels from the wall, which adds a layer of complexity, but even with that movement, the soundbar stays secure and doesn't feel flimsy. - Conclusion - I would recommend this mount to anyone looking for simple all-in-one setup or those looking to avoid a wall install for their soundbar. Just be mindful of your TV's height on the wall, because the soundbar attaches to the bottom or rear of the set, your mounting height will determine where the sound originates. The instructions provided were thorough and easy to follow. * Pros * * Creative way to use existing hardware rather than adding wall holes. * Feels sturdy once everything is tightened down. * Includes a wide variety of hardware to fit most televisions. * Suggestions/Needs Improvement * * Might feel less secure if you are near the maximum weight limit. * Weight capacity maxes out at 15 pounds, which could limit you depending on the weight of your soundbar

I love a surround system including sound bar with my wall mounted TV. The problem is that it takes up so much space on the stand under the TV. I was so excited to find that there is a solution to this eye sore. The Insignia Rear/Bottom Mount (for TV Mount Install) attaches the sound bar to the TV and it looks amazing taking up zero stand space. It matches the TV wall installation that we were currently using and the TV as well. It looks great. The TV Mount is sturdy made of heave material. I do not worry at all about my soundbar falling down. We wanted it to attach the sound bar to the TV in Family Room. However the TV mount we were using to attach the TV to the wall interfered with the installation of the sound bar. So we used this sound bar mount to attach the soundbar to the TV in the living room. It was so easy to install and only took a few minutes and the installation was totally complete. Everything we needed was included in the package.It was black so it matched everything so perfectly. Now I just need to see if Insignia makes other types of soundbar mounts that will work with our family room TV. I suggest looking over your wall mounted TV installation before purchasing this particular soundbar mount system to make sure it will work with your TV and soundbar. My Problem is Solved in the living room and it only took a few minutes and I love it! I have attached photos so others can see just how great this mount looks

This does exactly what it looks like, it gets your speaker off of your dresser or gives you the ability to ‘wall mount’ your speaker without drilling even more holes. I have a TV in the loft that has a sound system that is wall mounted but I got an even better one that is now mounted in my room, I thought about installing the nice one with surround sound in the loft, but decided not to because of the holes that would be obvious if I did switch them. I could patch the holes and paint, but that that would require me to figure out if we even have spare paint at this point or going and buying another gallon, that is quite a bit of annoyance when the speaker is still excellent just not quite as good as the new one and surround sound is a little wasted in my room versus the loft. If I had installed that sound bar on this stand, I could switch it with ease. I had looked at shelves, but I could never decide on one that we both liked. This is because it mounts to the existing TV/mounting systems just kind of disappears. It took about ten minutes to install and came with all of the required hardware to replace the lower two screws that were part of my TV mount hardware. One of my worries was potential vibration that could disturb the quality of the sound; however, this wasn’t an issue at all, and it sounded just as good as before. Overall, I love this solution.

IN THE BOX: The Insignia mount ships with a generous hardware kit: two flat mounting rails, a pair of adjustable bracket arms, assorted screws and wall anchors, and a quick-start guide. The included hardware covers a variety of TV mounting configurations — rear-mount (attaching to the TV's VESA holes) and bottom-mount options. INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE: This is where things get interesting. The mount is marketed as a universal fit, but "universal" does its usual overconfident work here. My TV setup required skipping a portion of the included hardware entirely — the bottom-mount rail configuration was incompatible with my TV's geometry, so I defaulted to the rear/VESA attachment method using only the bracket arms. The unused parts (several screws, anchors, and the top part of the base rails) went back in the bag. The modification process itself wasn't complicated, but it does require you to problem-solve on the fly. The instruction sheet is minimal, so if your setup deviates from the intended configuration at all, you're largely on your own. A bit more guidance in the manual for common TV stand shapes would go a long way. BUILD QUALITY: The metal rails and bracket arms feel solid and have a clean matte black finish that pairs well with most soundbars. No flex or rattle once installed. The Insignia soundbar now sits snugly below the wall-mounted TV, just under the bottom bezel — exactly the integrated look the product promises. THE RESULT The after photo says it all. The soundbar is flush under the TV, the dresser top is cleared for decorative items, and the whole setup reads as intentional rather than improvised. The visual upgrade alone justifies the modest price of this mount. BOTTOM LINE If your TV and soundbar match Insignia's intended specs closely, this is an easy, clean install. If you need to deviate — as I did — expect to leave some hardware unused and do a bit of trial-and-error fitting. The end result is worth it, but the mount could benefit from clearer documentation for non-standard configurations. I gave it 4 of 5 stars as the universal fit didn't fit my TV as expected.
