Sanus Extendable Soundbar Wall Mount Designed For Sonos Arc Soundbar - White

I always secure wood to studs first to provide strength and allow flexibility. So, I didn't need the provided wall anchors for sheetrock. The Sanus Wall Mount for the Arc was well packaged with clear instructions. I plan to upgrade/upsize the TV to 77" (from the 55" shown), so I installed the TV wall mount a little higher to allow for that future clearance drop. The lower console will be replaced with a linear fireplace and wall unit to hold components and storage. The Sanus Wall Mount integrates perfectly with the Arc and my plan to create a clean, modern look. I like the way it extends the Arc from the wall.

Sanus makes the best products for Sonos equipment, instructions are easy to follow, and install on the wall. I would recommend to install this about 5-8 inches below your TV so the Atmos speakers can reach your ceiling. You can also extend it out for the Atmos effect as well. Appears to be very sturdy, and of good material. Great value.

Easy to install. Solid unit. Hold my Sonos soundbar a way from my TV so the upper speakers give out perfect sound.

Those complaining of sag, well a picture is worth….. the mount does have a strip on the bottom wall side that does compensate for the inevitable sag from the weight of the arc. The video posted in a review clearly shows the sound bar was not properly attached to the wall. I had no illusion that wires could be hidden behind a sound bar pulled away from the wall. By the way, Peter Pee (check out his YouTube videos on Sonos products) recommends the Sonos arc be tilted downward for best Atmos experience.

The product itself is fine and meets the claims, the install is relatively easy and the device supports the Sonos Arc fine.I have only one complaint about the install and that is their implementation of drywall anchors which use a zip-tie device to bring together the two pieces that form the anchor. Locking the two parts (the screw receiver & behind wall support) together tightly can be difficult in cases. The zip-tie (like all) use notches, but must be pull so both parts are close enough not to wiggle, which requires work in some situations to accomplish (like using something blunt to push it back into the wall closer to the support piece while pulling hard on zip-tie). There are far easier anchors that support the weight required (even more) which would be better to use.My other issues have to do with how the device is designed & engineered.Visually it is an unpleasing device to look at, and you will see it as it is typical to the pull the Arc away from the wall, especially if it is mounted under TV so the up speakers will give full effect. The back plate against the wall is just too industrialized & could be easily modified to look sleeker. There is no reason for the large gapping hole in the middle (which also means you'll need to remove device when you repaint), and being so big it also makes you notice the mounting holes (which on their own you would not notice). Take together it just looks kind of ugly for no reason. But if you never pull it out from wall, or its mounted in a way not to be seen, then the device (black for me) is finished so it harmonizes with the Arc (black too in my case).The placement of the mounting holes seems to disregard that almost all drywall homes have 16" studs (or 24" either). It certainly would be nice (and more secure) if there was at least two holes spaced 16" apart. In my case, one is mounted in stud & other three in drywall.Also, the arms to move the arc away/towards wall are cumbersome, not a smooth easy flow (meaning you have to use Arc itself to exert more pushing/pulling that I feel is necessary, and somewhat feeling uncomfortable for an expensive device). I would not recommend fully extending the arms as that seems to require much pressure (more than I like) to push the Arc back towards wall. However, I do not really plan to change my Arc position normally so it is not much of a problem.One final note; Some other reviews noted that the Arc sags, or other such problems, especially when pulled out from wall. I did not find any such problem, mine is fine. I will note that if the drywall anchors are not very secured when pulling the zip-tie to tightly bind the behind wall piece with the piece that holds screw in place then that would obviously lead to such problems. You need to make sure the screw receiver has no wiggle at all before removing the zip-tie, otherwise any weight on the screws when the device is pulled away from the wall will effectively make the screw itself move in place causing the Arc to sag. The installation instructions make no mention of this.

LOVE this Sanus Extendable Soundbar Wall Mount! Everything one needs to install it is provided and it all fits together perfectly. I was able to install new tech to an older house.Our home has the old style TV niche designed for the old tube TVs AND has shutters that cover the niche and TV when not using the TV. Currently, there is a 65 inch flat panel which has a fixed height off the floor of the niche. I did not have a suitable wall area below, or within, (see pictures) the niche to to install the Sanus Extendable Soundbar Wall Mount and Sonos Arc and take advantage of its Dolby Atmos capabilities.So here is my workaround...With VERY close tolerances, I was able to anchor a 4x4 to the bottom of the niche and use it as the "wall" to which I mounted the Sanus Extendable ARC mount. The TV can swing out over the 4x4, Arc and mount for wire access and other adjustments and the shutters can close when we need to hide everything. As one can see in the pictures here, the Arc extends nicely and I have a great Dolby Atmos immersive sound experience.The 4x4 needs to be rock solid in its attachment to the niche bottom as the moment of torque on the "wall" is quite significant with the Arc fully extended. I recommend high quality Douglas Fir for the 4x4 as well as lag screws and corner braces to anchor the 4x4 wall to the niche floor. Don't forget to drill cable holes in the 4x4 which line up with the mount. Paint the 4x4 and bracing hardware when done.

This is the second one I bought. I have the Arc and Arc Ultra. I like the idea how you can adjust the bracket to come out especially if your attaching it to an uneven surface

Extremely disappointed in this mouth despite reading all the strong reviews. I built a dedicated recess below my TV for a Sonos Arc soundbar and this was intended to allow it to be recessed with not in use and pulled out when in use. Unfortunately, despite being mounted dead center in the recess, this mount could not align the soundbar properly. There are plastic pieces on the bottom rear of the mouth that causes it to point the sound bar up (assuming to compensate for sag on a poorly built mount?). I removed those and then the sound bar point down. If you’re mounting this on a regular wall it might be fine but if precision and limited tolerance is involved do NOT purchase.
