Mounting Dream Soundbar Mount, Heavy Duty Soundbar TV Bracket up to 26.5lbs

We have an 85” Samsung TV and we ordered one of the wall tv mounts as well as the heavy duty soundbar mount for up to 26.5 lb soundbars. Our Samsung soundbar is big and heavy and was about 20(ish) lbs. When we got the mount we realized the 2 support arms that attach to the back to the TV (or an existing tv mount) were too short. We contacted Mounting Dream which is in CA. We had to leave a voicemail to which I thought “great this is probably never going to get a response to, and if so may takes weeks.” To my surprise we received a call back from Lilly about 20 mins later. She confirmed our TV size a brand and explained that for some reason most Samsung TV’s have this issue as their mounting holes are higher up than most other TV brands and cannot accommodate the regular length arms. She said they would ship out longer supports arms to accommodate our TV and have them to us in 3-5 days for no additional charge. We received them and they worked perfectly! Shout out to Mounting Dream and Lilly for fixing our issue ASAP and providing such great customer service!! Would definitely recommend to anyone. And we love our TV mount from them also!

Finding a suitable soundbar mount is becoming increasingly difficult. As TVs and soundbars grow larger and adopt more unique shapes, mounting becomes tricky—especially with newer models featuring upward-firing Atmos drivers that require specific clearance from the TV's bottom edge. I am installing my LG S80TY soundbar onto an LG C5 77" TV using the Mounting Dream MD5428 kit in conjunction with a MantelMount MM340. A major challenge I encountered was that the soundbar’s bottom mounting holes are approximately 28 inches apart, which is wider than the standard horizontal bar included in the MD5428 kit (which is only 27.56"). I had to contact the manufacturer to request their 41" horizontal bar to ensure the bracket was wider than the soundbar itself. Furthermore, LG soundbars are so long and deep that the standard holes on the bracket tray didn't line up. I had to drill new holes myself to securely lock the soundbar onto the tray, as shown in the photo. Ultimately, the final outcome is highly satisfactory. The bracket is robust and comes well-equipped with various components for customization. Customer support was excellent, promptly providing the longer horizontal bar upon request. While the installation is relatively straightforward, achieving perfect compatibility between the TV, soundbar, and mount requires some prior research and a bit of DIY capability

So I like this mount for several reasons..... 1st -- I was able to install it without taking my 85" tv off of the wall.... I simply removed one of the tv's mounting bracket screws -- slid in this mounts hardware coming down and re-secured it. Then I did the other side.... easy. 2nd -- it's heavy duty and had no problem holding my Samsung Q990C. Now what I dont like --- you are able to secure the sound bar to the mount with screws through the bottom brackets -- HOWEVER -- the bottom brackets expand/contract and secure with their own nut.... well -- the brackets are opened to the correct size for my sound bar -- the nut that the bracket comes with blocks access to the holes into my soundbar.... bottom line -- the only way to secure my sound bar to this bracket was to simply "sit it on there". it's not going to fall off, BUT -- i'm not a fan of the front part of the bracket not having a cushion to protect my soundbar. So close to perfection -- but not perfect...

Honestly goes great with my s95TR LG soundbar. I got the equivalent weight ranking articulating mount as well. Installer did it in about an hour to hour and a half (TV and All on wall) after prepping with instruction manual. The soundbar is forward enough in front of the TV, and the soundbar could have easily gone down more than the recommended 4 inches. Having the soundbar moving with the TV is a lot of fun.

So far so good. I’m using this with a large Samsung soundbar. I was able to have a very small gap between the TV and soundbar and also used cable ties to route all cables from the soundbar behind the mount to the TV. Note: I was hoping to use the Samsung wall mount bracket that came with soundbar (as those are a bit more streamlined) but there isn’t enough support as the soundbar would sag. The brackets included work fine.

The Mounting Dream Soundbar Mount — because nothing says "home theater upgrade" like drilling holes into your wall and hoping for the best. And to be fair, it mostly lives up to its name. It’s sturdy, does the job, and didn’t instantly fall off the wall — which is basically a 5-star experience in the world of DIY. That said, calling it “heavy duty” might be a bit generous. It feels solid, but you’ll still find yourself staring at it after installation like, “Are you... okay? You’re not gonna drop my $300 soundbar in the middle of the night, right?” Installation was fairly painless — assuming you own a power drill, a level, and just a touch of stubborn optimism. The instructions were written in that classic "mystical IKEA riddle" style, but with enough squinting and Googling, you'll get there. The design? It’s fine. Not invisible, not ugly — just kind of there. Like a background character in a sitcom. Not stealing the show, but not ruining it either. Would I recommend it? Sure. It’s pretty good. Not amazing, not terrible. Like a gas station sandwich you didn’t regret — which in this case, is honestly high praise for a wall mount.

Gave this as a gift for a friend who purchased a new Samsung soundbar. He was able to assemble it with no issues and it is a perfect fit. The metal seems of good quality and it holds the soundbar well.

Sturdy and manages a 17 lbs sound bar. Only down side was the mounting to the Samsung Sound Bar. I pierced the mounting bracket foam pad with the correct length screws to securely mount the sound bar to the brackets. Worked great.

Great product well built sound bar mount. I would definitely recommend to others and I would buy again. Adv: 1. Powder-coated steel pieces with some plastic pieces for the ends. 2. Properly packaged and wrapped. 3. Well documented and clear instructions 4. Well designed to customize your soundbar size 5. Easy assembly. 6. Comes with all your tools to assemble the soundbar mount. 7. Comes with all the screws, washers for VESA mount. Disadv: 1. None so far.

Very solid and heavy duty sound bar mount. Instructions are a bit sparce however the unit is very easy to assemble and add to your existing TV mount. Just make sure you use the correct screws to mount it to your TV. If you have your TV mounted to the wall or a purchased TV stand you may need to use a longer screw. All in all was a great choice for my application and heavy sound bar

Great quality. Easy to install. Instructions kind of dumb but with some common sense no issues. The problem I ran into is my Samsung Q900 is a very deep but not very tall soundbar. Because it has Atmos speakers on top. When mounted on this mount the back bar that goes horizontal was clearly visible and the brackets and soundbar hung underneath. The brackets have no adjustment up or down as to how they mount to the rail. I ended up drilling a couple new holes an inch or so lower on the soundbar bracket to allow them so sit higher for a more seamless look.

No tiene forma de asegurar la barra de sonido al soporte, sin embargo se siente que queda bien puesta y que no se caerá de forma accidental

Does what it says it does, easy to setup and never have to touch it again.
