ARC Wall mount

I am looking to add an arc and two era 100 as rears to my living room and the arc would ideally be situated under my TV mounted on the wall.

I’ve found out that using the original sonos wall mount will reduce the bass significantly and was wondering if a non original wall mount would still allow the arc to recognise it’s on the wall and reduce the bass?

If memory serves, there is a magnet involved in the Arc’s mount, which I assume triggers the orientation circuitry or mount circuitry. It would be unlikely ( but not impossible) for a third party mount to have this feature.

    Yeah that was my thoughts but I guess what I’m asking is ,does the magnet and only the magnet trigger the arc into realising it’s been wall mounted or is it the angle it’s positioned?

    You’d probably need to call in to Sonos for a definitive answer. And even a CS rep might not know.

      By the way, if the ‘original wall mount’ you’re talking about is for a PLAYBAR, my understanding is that it will not work with an Arc, magnet or not.

      I was unaware that there was more than one wall mount for an Arc from Sonos. So no ‘original’ wall mount, just the one.

      There are other brands that made them after Sonos hence the term “original”

      Ah, I didn’t understand. I’d have been more likely to go with ‘Sonos’ versus ’Non-Sonos’. I’m substantially less familiar with third party products, so I’m of not much help there.

          It still leaves me wondering if I’m better off buying a non Sonos wall mount so as to keep the bass from being reduced as I like to feel the bass from my system.

          From what I’m reading the bass reduction doesn’t compliment the arc at all and it sounds far superior if placed on a tv stand or console table etc 

          Can’t get my head round why they would negatively impact there own sound quality just because the product is placed on the wall??
