Thanks, just picked up my Arc and mount today and thought "I bet there is a DIYer who's done a video on this already" and sure enough! Much appreciated!
I’m a professional at this kind of stuff. Nice job! The baggie trick looks interesting, I might give it a try someday. I came across this video because I wanted to know about the bracket and if was worth the price, it looks to me like it is due to the fact it was designed specifically for the sound bar with vibration in mind. Thanks for the information.
Nice video but the raw power cord behind the drywall is a code violation. I wish SONOS would develop a system specifically for their products to hide the wires. I installed a wall outlet directly behind the mounted soundbar with a very short power cord.
Klasse gelöst, besonders das mit dem Strom/HDMI ... hier nicht so leicht umsetzbar, da wir in Deutschland i.d.r Massive Wände haben und keine Pappe/Holz/ oder Pressspahn wie in UK/US/CA usw. 😂
3 issues with this video: 1. Drilling the holes bigger than instructed for the drywall anchors - they might spin and wont hold as well as the actual hole. 2. Shouldnt add the plate on the wall until AFTER the wire has been fished - its much easier to fish before the plate. 3. Power cords behind the walls is in most places is a code violation.
I have similar setup. But power cord is running behind the wall. I saw the update video. I have a stud which I right in the middle. Any alternatives. Willl using the power cable thru electrical conduit help?
Thank You! It did not come with the bracket. I ordered the bracket from Best Buy for about $80.00. I am going to do an update to this video with the: Echogear In-Wall TV and Soundbar Power Kit.
That is a great point. I did fish the power cable through the wall. After seeing your comment, I did some research and found a product that looks to be code compliant. It's the Legrand In-Wall Soundbar Power Kit sold at Best Buy. There are some other products available on Amazon too.
I’ve been fishing wire for over 30yrs in the alarm field, I hung many TVs and installed a few hard wired surround sound systems. I fished the power wire in the wall on every installation and never ever had a problem or concern about it. If you think about it, the wire is protected by a jacket that sits inside the wall just like your common Romex wire does. The only thing I would recommend doing, is securing the end that plugs into the TV with a tie wrap, make sure the cord isn’t strained and you’ll be fine
I decided to update this video using a dedicated power source for the Sonos Arc. The end result is not running the Sonos power cable behind the wall and it looks just as clean as it did before. Here is a link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/8G43eWc0Dcc/v-deo.html Thank You all for watching!
Initially...I did an update to the video where I was able to find a product that did not require it. Here is the link to the revised video: ua-cam.com/video/8G43eWc0Dcc/v-deo.html
Is the arc far enough out to not bounce sound off the bottom of the tv ? This has been an issue with a lot of wall mounts being that a lot of tv mounts stick out further and the arc has speakers firing on top . Thanks !
That's a good question. I paid for the actual Sonos mount which came with a cardboard template showing where to mount it in relation to the bottom of the TV. There is also a Room Tuning Sequence the Arc performs once you are setup which I think might help with this issue. However I am far from an expert. I'm sure you can find a video on UA-cam that may address this topic better.
@@whitenoise7618Sorry a question. so you used the positioning guide provided by Sonos and the distance between top of the arc sound bar to the base of the tv, you able to measure out? doesn’t seem to be 10cm as recommended by sonos in their guide
As a pro there’s several things wrong with this video that you should be aware of if you are diying. One, secure the bracket to at least one stub in the center of the bracket if not two stubs. Those aren’t drywall anchors they are meant for brick. Two, don’t run the power cord in the wall. It is a fire hazard and if a fire happens could cause the fire to spread quicker in the home.
Thx for watching Dylan, I recently did an update to this video here: ua-cam.com/video/8G43eWc0Dcc/v-deo.html where I utilize a dedicated power source for the Sonos Arc. As far as the wall anchors, I just used the ones Sonos provided. They did seem extra beefy though!
@@shirleyluong6010 hello I bought the actual SONOS mount designed for the SONOS ARC. Make sure to check out the updated video with the dedicated power supply for the SONOS ARC.
Not sure why my name would be on the cord. It's the cord provided by Sonos. I did an update to this video 6 months ago using a dedicated power source for the Sonos Arc. Here is a link to the video...looks just as clean as before without having to run the cord behind the wall.
@@whitenoise7618 it's against the NEC dude. You installed it, aka YOUR NAME would be on it. The cord is not rated to be in-wall. Insurance companies would eat you alive if something ever happened. Just saying.

Finally someone smart with good instructions. Thanks!
Thank You!
Just put mine up with Era 100 in the back. Wow, wife said it was wonderful watching movies. My next upgrade is the sub mini

Thank You John Doe! The bracket has a thick rubber coating. I do not hear any vibrations when in use. I believe it was worth the money.
Yup, no brainer to spend the little extra money for the official mount when you are already spending a wad of cash for a premium sound bar.
How does the device play on other devices? Fire stick, Roku etc?
Wow what a great tutorial. Well done. The ziploc bag is genius! I can't wait to hang my Arc Soundbar in my living room!
Glad it was helpful!
He used that same bag for his lunch sandwhich.
Dude! I admire your OCD approach during the whole installation approach. I can tell'
Thank You it can be a blessing and a curse...lol
Great job, but your TV is way too high...
WOW! So helpful I will be sure to use these techniques In the future thanks!
That’s a clean job! Will attempt mine soon. My previous arc was mounted with the tv mount.
Nice video but the raw power cord behind the drywall is a code violation. I wish SONOS would develop a system specifically for their products to hide the wires. I installed a wall outlet directly behind the mounted soundbar with a very short power cord.
Were you able to hide the power cord? I am planning a similar installation and wondered if the cord would show. Thanks.

Great video, appreciate it man!
The tv would look better about 3-4 feet lower

Nice👍 I hate wires too😐
Where did you get that media console under your TV?
I have similar setup. But power cord is running behind the wall. I saw the update video. I have a stud which I right in the middle. Any alternatives. Willl using the power cable thru electrical conduit help?
Great video thanks.....DId the Sonos Arc come with the mounting plate?? If not where did you order? thank you

What would be a fair price to charge someone to install this as you've done?
Power cables in drywall is a no no, nice install otherwise.
Just wondering. Did you fish the power cable up the channel as well? Was going to do so but I have read online that it violates fire code

@@whitenoise7618 but what is the difference? The legrand power kit also runs power cable behind wall, right?
@@snoww2009 I'm not sure what the difference is. I believe it is code complaint though by their advertisement, so that is why I installed it.
@@JohnDoe-mb4mv Thank You for your comments.

holy 🟣🍑
Where are the rubber screws that slides on the mount ?
The screws were not rubber to my knowledge the slot on the bracket the screws fit into was rubberized. I just didn't like the fit.
so you placed the power cord through the wall?

Do you think it is a better idea to use media wall plates that has outlets and hdmi/cat6 keystones for in wall wiring?
Hey great video! Probably going to follow this guide verbatim. Also can you link the entertainment center below your mounted Sonos?
Much appreciated. I believe we got it on Wayfair. It looks good but it's pretty cheaply made.
Posner by Mercury Row.
What size are the two metal knobs that attach to the wallmount? Are they M5 or M6?
I'm sorry I don't know the answer.
When u bought the Sonos arc did it come with that wall mount??
I just bought the arc and no, the Mount must be bought separately
🤣🤣 Schön wärs
u cant run the power cable in the wall like that.
Hi can please share from where did you buy those wall plates? Thank You
Hello! I ordered it from Best Buy.
@@whitenoise7618 thank you
Hi what is the exact name of the wall plates you purchased from best buy?
@@shirleyluong6010 hello I bought the actual SONOS mount designed for the SONOS ARC. Make sure to check out the updated video with the dedicated power supply for the SONOS ARC.
dat thicc
How much gap is there between the Soundbar and the tv? I'd like the exact measurement as I'm going to be buying a soundbar.
When you buy the Sonos Arc it comes with a cardboard template that you hold up to your TV and you can derive measurements from that.
@@whitenoise7618 thanks for letting me know.
You not suppose to run power cables inside the wall code violation, you need a sound bar installation kit.
Thank You. I ended up doing just that. Here is the updated video: ua-cam.com/video/8G43eWc0Dcc/v-deo.html
lmfao, not code whatsoever. If that house burned down and your name was on that cord in wall, guess what bromigo.
Not sure why my name would be on the cord. It's the cord provided by Sonos. I did an update to this video 6 months ago using a dedicated power source for the Sonos Arc. Here is a link to the video...looks just as clean as before without having to run the cord behind the wall.
