Help! What’s the best placement for wall-mounting Era 300 surrounds?

Hello Sonos Community,

I’m looking for some advice on the ideal wall-mounting locations for a pair of Era 300s that I’ll be using as surrounds with my Sonos Arc in my open-plan living area.

Current setup:

  • Sonos Arc mounted under the TV
  • TV located on the top wall of the attached floor plan
  • Planning to add a pair of Era 300s as surrounds
  • No Sub (yet)

I’ve attached my floor plan for reference.

A few things that may affect placement:

  • The living room is part of an open-plan kitchen/dining area.
  • The main sofa will be facing the TV in the living area.
  • There is no rear wall directly behind the seating position.
  • There is a bulkhead above the kitchen cooktop that houses the air-conditioning system.

Thanks in advance!

I’m not sure your layout meets the needs for “ideal wall-mounting locations”.

A recent post mentioned ceiling mounts; that might be the solution here?

I would recommend getting a console table to go behind the couch that faces the TV. Then you can place your surrounds on that instead of try to wall mount them.

The other option as ​@nik9669a has stated, would be mounting them upside down on the ceiling

Or floor stands, but the op asked for wall-mount options.

Floor or table mounted are good options if you can get power to them, otherwise the ceiling mounts should be considered.
