Mounting Beam onto TV mount

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.

    Thank you Ryan, that all makes sense

    The suggested mount says it's only for TVs up to 40 inches. That's a shame.

    I'm going to buy Sonos Beam and want to mount it as Flexson
    https://www.sonos.com/en-us/flexson-cantilever-mount-for-beam.html
    but do not want to buy the entire bracket. The part that you mount on the Vesa mount that you mount Beam on must fit almost any TV bracket?
    I do not want to replace my TV bracket with one arm plus that there will be several new holes in the wall.

      unfortunatley until there are a few more options on the mounts for the beam other than buying a whole new TV mount (which are very expensive) i will have to put my Beam purcahse on hold. Snos - I hope you are working with 3rd parties to come up with something soon as i dont thin forcing people to buy a whole new wall mount is the right approach here...

        I was wondering if maybe you could buy the Beam wall mount AND the Sanus Playbar Mount, then attached the wall mount to the playbar mount? ...unfortunately thats an expensive solution. :(
        I'm in the same boat - ready to buy a Beam EXCEPT I can't because my only option is to hand it from my TV mount somehow.

        I have the same issue. The television mount is on 8" centers. My plan is to have a 10" square piece of 1/8" thick aluminum fabricated with 3" bent at a sharp 90° angle to form a "shelf" to support the Beam. I'll drill holes in the 7" X 10" part on 8" centers and use the television mounting screws to secure that part between the TV and its mount. I'll drill two holes on 6" centers on the 3" X 10" "shelf" to secure the sound bar. Good idea? Is there any reason that I need to be able to access the top of the soundbar? What are the specifications for the machine screws that go into the bottom of the Beam?

        As near as I can tell from the link that Ryan S provided, it looks like the screw holes on the bottom are standard VESA width.
