Determine your Soundbar requirements

The SBK00 was engineered to be used with various makes and models of soundbar. The following information will help you determine which configuration will work best for your soundbar mounting situation.

Soundbar with Holes on the Bottom
For a soundbar that is flat and deep, with holes in the bottom. This soundbar will require the L-Brackets and possibly the Cradles.

Soundbar with Hanging Slots
For soundbars that use hanging slots instead of threaded inserts. The SBK00 supplies special screws {92} as shown. The flat surfaces on the threads allow the screw to be held with a wrench while a nut {87} secures the soundbar to the SBK00. “L” Bracket {81}

Soundbar with Holes on the Back
For a soundbar that is tall and shallow, with holes in the back. This soundbar might require the Soundbar Wings to get the correct height.

For Wider Soundbars
For a soundbar with holes that are a very wide distance apart. This soundbar will require the Soundbar Wings.
NOTE: If the holes are wide and located in the bottom of the soundbar, the L-Brackets can be mounted to the Soundbar Wings.

For Soundbars with no Mounting Holes
A Soundbar that does not have any accessible holes can be supported with the front Cradles. Use the supplied Velcro tape at the back or bottom to secure the soundbar, and use the supplied foam tape at the front of the Cradle to squeeze the soundbar while you tighten the screws {90} and secure the Cradles.

• Use the hardware provided by your soundbar manufacturer to secure your soundbar to cradle or wings. and the back, cut to size.

SBK00 INSTALLATION

Assembling with TV Brace Extenders

The Speaker Kit works with TVs that require the TV Brace Extender to reach the lower screws on the TV. If this is the case, then the Brace Extenders need to be inserted into the Vertical Braces the opposite as stated in the Manual for the MantelMount. A washer will have to be installed between the extender and TV to fill the gap.
Long or Short Adjust Bracket can be attached to the Brace Extender or through both Vertical Brace and Brace Extender.
Depth Adjust Placement
The Depth Adjust Parts Can be attached in various configurations to avoid speaker attachment points and to get the best speaker and handle height. Shown below are two examples:

Example One: Full Depth, Outside Attachment

Example Two: Full Depth, Inside Attachment

Depth Adjust Assembly

The soundbar bracket can be installed on the back of the TV before hanging on the mount, or after the TV has been hung on the mount.

Front View

Back View

1. Attach Long Depth Adjust (light blue) to Vertical Brace
2. Attach Short Depth Adjust (blue) to TV Brace Extender
3. Connect the 2 with the M6 Carriage Bolt and Nut
4. The Tilt and depth can be adjusted by sliding the short depth adjust on the long depth adjust and tightening the carriage bolts.
   The Maximum Depth to make the soundbar flush with the front of the TV depends on the Thickness of the TV.

Assembling Soundbar Attachments

Reference Page 5 to determine which method works best for you to attach the Soundbar.

• Use the hardware provided by your soundbar manufacturer to secure your soundbar to cradle or wings.

Height Adjustment

Soundbar Wings

Optional Mounting: Tall Soundbar Note in this image that the Soundbar Wings are rotated upward and attached to the holes in a tall soundbar in order to allow the MantelMount Handle to reach down below the soundbar.

MM340 Only

Determine which method you wish to use to attach the soundbar: Soundbar Wings, the L-Brackets, or the Cradles. The cradles do not need to be attached at this time.
MM340 does not have a Horizontal Brace so the Soundbar Wings are used instead to provide some width and also a mounting platform for the L-Brackets. All other mounts have a Horizontal Brace for mounting.

MM340 Only
MM340 requires Spacers {88} and longer Screws {91} when mounting the Soundbar Wings to the Handles.
The L-Brackets are only used for holes in the bottom of the soundbar, or to install the Cradles for a soundbar without accessible holes. Otherwise, the soundbar can be attached directly to the Soundbar Wings.

• Use the hardware provided by your soundbar manufacturer to secure your soundbar to cradle or wings.

SBK00 RECESS BOX INSTALLATION

Since the recess box is closer to the wall, the Long Depth Support can NOT be used with a recess box. Only the Short Depth support is used. If using the Horizontal Recess Brace with the Recess Box, the SBK00 Soundbar Kit will not work.

Recess Box Adjustments

Recess Box Assembly Since the recess box is closer to the wall, the Long Depth Support can NOT be used with a recess box. Only the Short Depth support is used.
Depending on the thickness of the TV and depth of the soundbar, the 2 may not be flush. But you will still get an extra .75” (20mm) of soundbar depth and tilt adjust.

• Use the hardware provided by your soundbar manufacturer to secure your soundbar to cradle or wings.

  1. Attach Short Depth Adjust (blue) to TV Brace Extender
  2. Connect to the Vertical Brace with the M6
  3. Carriage Bolt and Nut The Tilt can be adjusted

OPTIONAL SOUNDBAR MOUNTING

For a Wider Soundbar
Note in this image that the L-Brackets are mounted to the Soundbar Wings to obtain the maximum width to reach holes on the bottom of a soundbar that are very far apart, or to use the Cradles instead of screw holes.
