Mounting Vizio Sound Bar On Wall

Mounting a Vizio sound bar on the wall can enhance your home theater experience by providing a more immersive and cinematic sound. Follow these steps to mount your Vizio sound bar securely and effortlessly.

Materials You'll Need

Vizio sound bar
Mounting brackets (included with the sound bar)
Screws and anchors (included with the sound bar)
Drill
Level
Measuring tape or ruler
Pencil or marker

Step 1: Choose the Mounting Location

Determine the desired location for your sound bar. Consider the height and angle that will provide the best sound quality for your listening area. Ensure that the location has sufficient clearance both above and below the sound bar.

Step 2: Mark the Mounting Holes

Use the mounting brackets as a template to mark the drilling holes on the wall. Hold the brackets against the wall at the desired location and use a pencil or marker to mark the screw holes. Ensure that the brackets are level using a level.

Step 3: Drill Pilot Holes (Optional)

For added stability, especially on drywall or plaster walls, pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended. Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the screws to create the pilot holes at the marked locations.

Step 4: Insert Anchors (For Drywall Only)

If you are mounting the sound bar on drywall, insert the provided anchors into the pilot holes. Gently tap them in using a hammer until they are flush with the wall surface.

Step 5: Mount the Brackets

Align the mounting brackets with the marked holes and insert the screws. Tighten the screws securely using a screwdriver or drill. Ensure that the brackets are firmly attached to the wall.

Step 6: Hang the Sound Bar

Lift the sound bar and align it with the mounted brackets. Gently slide the sound bar onto the brackets until it securely clicks into place.

Step 7: Level and Adjust

Use the level to ensure that the sound bar is mounted horizontally. If necessary, adjust the brackets slightly to achieve the desired level. You can also tilt the sound bar up or down to optimize the sound direction.

Tips

For maximum sound quality, place the sound bar at or slightly below the level of your ears when seated.
If you have a TV mounted on the wall, consider using a sound bar mount that attaches to the TV mount for a cleaner and more integrated look.
Use high-quality HDMI cables to connect the sound bar to your TV or other devices for optimal audio performance.
Experiment with different mounting heights and angles to find the optimal sound for your specific room and listening preferences.
