I want to install the wall mount bracket directly over the plates for my electrical power outlet and audio input cable in order to hide them. Does the design allow for this or do I need do convert my electrical outlet to recessed variety?

You have a couple of questions here- let me attempt to answer the first. Don't believe the design would allow for you to mount directly over an electrical outlet since it is designed to fit flush to the wall. Understand why you want to hide the wires. In lieu of recessed outlet you might consider a spacer board (cut to the size of the mount and around your outlets) to give you a solid mount and a way to connect to outlets. Good luck!

Wiring is meant to be installed from the back of the plate. The fixture is also meant to be fastened to an electrical wall-box via a bracket hidden behind the plate and fastened by two knurl-headed screws from the front of the plate through the provided screw-holes on the left and right sides. If you fashion a way to hold the fixture to the wall - perhaps simply two brass wood screws or toggle-bolts - and cut a notch in the edge of the plate to accept the raceway and cord, I don't see why that wouldn't work just fine. Note, though, that there is no switch on this fixture - the power needs to be controlled from elsewhere, like a wall switch or some such. Wiring is meant to be installed from the back of the plate.

These are designed for pole mount PA speakers. Once mounted to the wall, a PA speaker that has a standard recessed pole mount simply sits on the little pole. As others have said, if your speaker does not have pole mounts built in, you either have to install them or use a different type of mounting bracket.

Hi. Yes, you need an ordinary and suitable electrical box inside the wall, you can buy it at HomeDepot or Lowes. This is only the faceplate, also you need the keystone inserts.

It may have been a facetious comment rather than a question, but I agree, the power brick is large. My TV and F550 are mounted onto a Vantage Point EVO mounting system, so all cables, plugs, outlets, etc. are concealed behind panels. If you are mounting immediately above or below the TV, I'd recommend placing the brick behind the TV as well. If you are using the wireless SoundShare from a compatible Samsung TV and don't have any wires between, there is likely a generic recessed enclosure you can add to the wall to conceal the block. If you have your power outlet moved to an area near the AudioBar, getting a recessed enclosure there, which would accommodate the outlet as well, would probably be best. Hope that is helpful.

Either should work but you don't need it. The description says it's direct wire. I just drilled a hole for the wire right beside a stud and screwed the plate directly to the stud. Quicker and less mess than a box in my opinion But clearly not up to code if you care.

Yes, but once you remove the wall plate and mount this onto the outlet box it will not be against the wall since they failed to recess the backside like the original face place so it can wobble a bit when inserting and removing cords. It would have been so simple to avoid this problem if it was better engineered. You will have to make your own shim around the back of the box to make it secure. I plan to not be unplugging cords often so I may just glue some appropriately thick wood on the back to fix their design flaw.

You could make that modification, but you would not be able to use the center screw to hold it to the wall. i think there would be times it might fall out of the outlet when there are several cords attached.

No, this is merely a recessed outlet that allows for conveniently connecting cables and power cords when wall mounting a big screen TV.

This is exactly what is says it is just a wall plate with the connectors. You will have to run the wires and mount the box within the wall prior to installing this plate. (To answer your question: cut hole in wall where you want the box. Mount box. Run wire...)

I mounted my two right to the wall. For a more flush and clean mount. Install a recessed outlet behind the mount. For improved stability try to hit at least one stud while mounting.

I had no idea you were supposed to move the coverplate until I saw these answers! I just plugged it in over the outlets and put the screw aside bc I didn't know what it was for... (heh) It works perfectly fine but I'll fix mine now. Thanks for asking this question & thank you everyone for your answers!

Yes, standard mounting screw holes, but it has spade connectors so it's a tight fit if you use too small a box. It was a while ago, but I think best fit and appearance would be with one of those exterior surface mount boxes- the kind used with floodlights or exterior weather proof outlets.

There are prongs on the back of unit to plug into an electrical outlet. There are no mounting brackets on the back of these units....

I'm sure you've made your decision by now, but one thing that appears to be an advantage for the Datacomm is that it has mounting screws near the cable access slots. The PowerBridge (which I have, and very much like) has the mounting screws to left and right of the electrical, but the far sides of cable access slots are sorta floating (which won't matter too much if walls are pretty flat.) Personally, I like the shape of the PowerBridge better (and that shape works better for my installation.) But, for some people, having a standard two gang outlet (which I assume the Datacomm is) might make things easier, down the road when things change.

You can. It's 2 pronged and will fit any way you arrange it. I just tried to do it on my outlet.

No problem. The mounting hardward doesn't show. I would recommend however that you purchase also from a local store a strip of cord cover for the picture down to the outlet. Makes it look a whole lot neater.Regards,
