Under the screen, without covering the remote sensor

The best soundbar mounts for 2026

A soundbar on a shelf in front of a television usually covers its infrared window and sometimes its bottom edge, which is why this shelf exists. Two designs solve it differently. A wall bracket holds the bar independently and adjusts freely; a VESA-attached mount hangs the bar from the television's own mounting holes, which keeps everything on one wall fixing and adds the bar's weight to it. Read the stated load and the adjustment range — depth, height and tilt — since a bar too far forward reflects off the screen and one too far back is muffled by the furniture. Universal brackets attach with a clamp or a strap, and the mounting points on soundbars are not standardised, so the maker's compatibility list matters more than usual. We compare mounting design, stated load capacity, adjustment range, VESA compatibility, and fixings supplied.
