Will the soundbar sound OK if it is mounted ABOVE the TV?

This soundbar is meant to be placed below the TV especially if your mounting it on the wall. The speakers are positioned to accommodate sound coming up and straight when placed below the tv. It won't sound that great placed above.

Hello. I have it in a similar sized room and on the merits of performance, no, it is appropriate and works well. The only gripe/issue I have overall is this center channel speaker is MUCH larger than I anticipated. You need to match it above a TV no smaller than 65"; It needs to be mounted above the TV or if your TV itself is mounted, ensure you have ample room beneath your TV. In general it isn't as eye-appealing as I would have imagined but in terms of performance, I have mine set with Yamaha 7.1 entertainment system and it is clean and crisp for a center channel! Hope that helps!

My TV is a 26" Sony. While the sound bar is considerably wider, 37 inches, it pretty much depends where you intend to put it. I have mine on a shelf above the TV and it works just fine. Or you could put it on a lower shelf or even on the floor. The sound bar has a very nice sound and I can't imagine the need to purchase a more expensive model.

We have has more trouble with the sound than the viewing angle. We use a mount that swivels and angles so it hasn't been a problem. Our room is not too big.

I have no problem with the sound. The speakers are like any other tv speakers. If you're expecting room jarring surround-like sound speakers to each side or a sound bar would solve any problem. Just FYI, I have a 65" Vizio in the living room. I purchased a factory refurbished Vizio soundbar from Walmart online (saved a lot!), but usually it is turned off---UNLESS I'm watching an action movie and want to feel like I'm in the middle of the action. Hope this helps. Hope it wasn't TMI. Would be interested in what you decide.

Fair. I put a polk 9000 soundbars on mine because of the application I am using it for. Another one was sold to my father in law and he has no sound bar. No complaints.

In general, a subwoofer does not need to be immediately near the source speakers. I have mine about 10' from the soundbar, which of course is under the TV, and it seems to work very well.

As a soundbar junkie I have owned them all and tried every mounting position that can be done,,,, my feelings are that soundbars almost always sound better mounted above a TV/display. 52" above floor level is not that high at all,,,,, I was experimenting with my Sony CT-100, Sony CT-500 and my Vizio Soundbar w/wireless sub and found one of the BEST spots for mounting was 7' from the floor, at 7' high the sound has nothing to block the reflective sound coming from the soundbar such as curtains, paintings on the wall and such.Each room is different though, but for me the higher I place my soundbars the better they sounded.CheersDavyo As a soundbar junkie I have owned them all and tried every mounting position that can be done,,,, my feelings are that soundbars almost always sound better mounted above a TV/display. 52" above floor level is not that high at all,,,,, I was experimenting with my Sony CT-100, Sony CT-500 and my Vizio Soundbar w/wireless sub and found one of the BEST spots for mounting was 7' from the floor, at 7' high the sound has nothing to block the reflective sound coming from the soundbar such as curtains, paintings on the wall and such.Each room is different though, but for... » Read More As a soundbar junkie I have owned them all and tried every mounting position that can be done,,,, my feelings are that soundbars almost always sound better mounted above a TV/display. 52" above floor level is not that high at all,,,,, I was experimenting with my Sony CT-100, Sony CT-500 and my Vizio Soundbar w/wireless sub and found one of the BEST spots for mounting was 7' from the floor, at 7' high the sound has nothing to block the reflective sound coming from the soundbar such as curtains, paintings on the wall and such.Each room is different though, but for me the higher I place my soundbars the better they sounded.CheersDavyo « Show Less

Even if you adjust the shelves; the 40inch sound bar would not fit but it will fit on top on the shelf in front of the TV. That is how I have mine...Hope this helps

Yes, but your cables must be fished through the wall as the opening for them to attach to the soundbar is only accessible from behind or below, not from above.

Dear B. Getz..the soundbar is shelf only with no mounting hardware. But it is the best sounding, smaller soundbar I've found..hope this helps..:)

Soundbar is 2.25 inches high above the surface, or at least ours is. Should be fine in your case.

The onboard speakers are enough to tell you there's sound. So hopefully you have a receiver and speakers, DVD player, etc. You'll need a big place to put it -wall mount? I have this one which it strong and cheap: Cheetah Mounts APDAM2B Articulating Dual Arm TV Wall Mount Bracket for 32 to 65-Inch LCD, LED, Plasma, Flat Screen Monitors Bundle with Twisted Veins 10-Feet HDMI Cable and 6-Inch Level

It depends upon your TV model, and whether it has multiple inputs and sound out. That is how I have it set up, all inputs drive with sound to TV, which has Sound Out to the soundbar. Sounds great!

The actual bar comes in 2 pieces which you hook together into what it shows in the picture. You will also receive a small speaker which will make the system sound like surround sound if you choose that option on the remote control. I have the sound bar in front of my TV, and the additional speaker next to the TV stand on the floor. Hope this answers your question.

In my opinion, yes. The main problem is the speakers fire downward. If the TV is sitting on a reflective surface, it magnifies the problem which I would describe as as weak or hollow sound. Sibilance is also exaggerated. Maybe you should try it yourself and if you're not pleased,you can always add a soundbar. The picture is quite good.
