“Hi, this soundbar is 18+ lbs. What's the best way to mount it - connect it to the bottom of my QLED 75" TV, mount it to the wall under the TV or rest it on the console beneath the TV. Can the brackets mount to sheetrock (no stud) with that weight? Thx!”

My wall mount is a Mantle Mount 750Pro. It is mounted directly to the brick above my fireplace and can handle up to 110lbs. My TV is a Samsung 65" QLED9 which weighs 59lbs. The Samsung 850N Sound Bar weighs 19lbs and is hung a couple of inches below the on brackets that extend from the mount. The Mantle Mount has the capability to lower 26in. to provide a comfortable viewing level and can pivot 35 degrees If needed (it has "stops" to prevent hitting our fireplace mantle when pivoting). The Bar is phenomenal for sports, music, movies, Blue Ray. I have not had any Atmos films so I cannot speak to the effectiveness of the surround / reflective speakers but the subwoofer is very nice. I have it positioned in the corner of our sectional sofa and you can feel as well as here the effects - fabulous. You do need to tune the bar to your liking using the equalizer settings as the size of your room and the height of your ceiling will affect the sound. It was easy to raise the voice level and bass to our liking. I have yet to crank this up past 22 on the volume scale for rock music ( Boston -Escape, Van Halen 1984) but it provides beautiful dynamics for a sound bar. It was a steal for the bundled price. I had a Klipsch Home Theater Surround system with 8 in. Subwoofer powered by a Pioneer multi-channel amp. While I will probably wish at some point that I had the Samsung 950N for the total overhead / surround sound for certain movies I just did not want to shell out another $600 for the rears. The total system looks great on the wall. Thank you
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It comes down to personal preferences. I left mine on the mantle below the TV. It can certainly be hung on drywall but would suggest a trip to the hardware store as there are a number of newer wall fasteners for using on wallboard without studs.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Coco, I had a similar issue. Your best bet if you want to wall mount it and hide the cables to take a look at the PowerBridge ONE-CK in-wall cabling solution (assuming you want to hide your TV and soundbar cables in the wall). As for mounting the soundbar on the wall, this is something I really struggled with, and I was in a similar situation as you - mounting on drywall and no studs in the right spots. After trying a couple anchors and failing - you want to take a look at the Cobra FlipToggle anchor, or something similar. It should be rated to hold 100 lbs. or more, and the neat thing about this product is it has a flip hook that grabs the backside of the drywall for a secure anchor, whereas the cheaper anchors don't clamp the backside of the drywall and end up just falling out of the wall. This worked for me. Just make sure to use the template that came with the soundbar to drill the holes in the correct locations. Regards, Chris
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We planned on mounting it but ultimately we decided to just rest it on our console under our TV.
