Mounting Beam onto TV mount

22 replies
21601 views

I've ordered a Beam as it is seems perfect for my requirements. My TV is on a wall mount bracket above a fireplace. I would like to hang the Beam below my TV as there is no wall below the TV to use the Beam mounts (they are all for wall mounting). Does anyone know if the Sanus Playbar TV mount would work ( https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/shop/sanus-playbar-tv-mount.html ) or if not whether there is currently an alternative, many thanks

The Playbar mount won't work for the Beam because they have entirely different footprints and mounting capabilities. That universal mount won't work as the only holes on Beam are on the bottom, to secure it to a shelf-like mount. We have a mount that's both the TV and Beam here: https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/flexson-cantilever-mount-for-beam.html and you could also look into if your TV mount could have mounting brackets attached and you could then use this mount with it: https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/shop/wall-mount-for-beam.html

We don't usually recommend using brackets and mounts that we haven't had the chance to test, but you could try it out if you're interested.

I've managed to attach the beam wall mount to my TV bracket using this " https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/shop/sanus-playbar-tv-mount.html " It looks very good and seems stable

I went ahead and had the L shaped piece of sheet metal I described above fabricated from sheet steel to avoid having to prime aluminium before painting black. Had to cut a rectangular hole in it to accommodate the Beam’s cable connections. Works great. $20.

Good to hear that worked. You have spent far less money than I did - 😃

Well there was also the $5 can of spray paint and the two 37 cent machine screws. $20 is what i paid the sheet metal shop for the material and bending. I also probably put two hours of personal labor into it.

Yep - I probably spent around two hours on my expensive solution 😉

concern i'd have about that is that then the speaker is firing downward, not out --- thinking you might be able to use a little 90-degree angle bracket like the kind used to secure a bookshelf or dresser to a wall to attach it to a mount like that

It is a good point mpstella and worth mentioning for those considering doing this. My beam does point slightly downwards (maybe 10 degree) but that is not a problem for me personally as it is wall mounted fairly high

I have the TV already mounted on a fully articulating cantilever bracket and the Sonos Beam and Mount, but how do I fix the Beam mount to the TV bracket????

Will something like this work, with the Beam mount....

Or do I need to buy the more expensive Sanus one!!!

Others will be better qualified to say for sure but having just taken a look at mine I don't see why this wouldn't work

Have you guys seen this SANUS mount? It's brand new and designed for the Beam, not the Playbar mount version others have noted above. I think it's new. I bought it, worked really well for me. Super easy to install and holds position.
