A TV without quality audio is only half the experience. Watching a movie or enjoying streaming content should engage both sight and sound in coordinated harmony. A soundbar is the obvious solution for better audio, but too often soundbars are installed as afterthoughts—misaligned with the TV, positioned awkwardly, or integrated clumsily. A truly professional installation treats the soundbar as an integral component of the audio-visual system, not an add-on. We recently completed a 65-inch installation with integrated soundbar mounting in Minnetonka that showcases how coordinated audio-visual integration elevates the entire entertainment experience.

The Importance of Coordinated Audio-Visual Mounting

Many homeowners purchase a soundbar separately from their TV mounting, or they hire installers who don't specialize in coordinated setups. The result is a TV positioned one way and a soundbar positioned another way, creating visual disconnect and suboptimal audio performance. The soundbar may be too low, too high, or misaligned with the display—technical choices that compromise both aesthetics and acoustic performance.

Professional audio-visual integration requires a different approach. The TV and soundbar become a unified system. The mounting brackets work together, the positioning is coordinated, and the visual alignment reinforces that these components belong together. When done correctly, the soundbar feels like an integral part of the entertainment setup, not a jury-rigged afterthought.

Recent Minnetonka Soundbar Integration

We recently installed a 65-inch TV with integrated soundbar mounting in a Minnetonka home using a tilt mounting bracket. The critical decision in this installation was how to mount the soundbar in perfect alignment with the TV.

Rather than mounting the soundbar independently, we used a dedicated soundbar mounting bracket that coordinates with the TV mounting bracket. This specialized approach ensures that the soundbar and TV stay perfectly aligned regardless of any future adjustments. The soundbar mounts directly below the TV, as close as structurally appropriate, creating visual unity and optimal acoustic performance.

The result is a tight, professional integration. The TV and soundbar appear as a single entertainment system rather than separate components. The soundbar is positioned for optimal audio projection toward the seating area, and the visual alignment makes the entire setup feel intentional and coordinated.

Why Soundbar Positioning Matters

Audio performance is as important as visual positioning when mounting a soundbar. A soundbar mounted too high can project sound over seated viewers. Positioned too low, it may be blocked by furniture or structural elements. When a soundbar is offset from the TV horizontally, the audio and visual planes don't align, creating a subtle but noticeable disconnect.

The soundbar mounting bracket solves these problems by coordinating with the TV mounting system. The soundbar maintains perfect horizontal alignment with the TV, and the vertical positioning is optimized for acoustic performance. This coordination isn't just about aesthetics—it's about creating a truly professional audio-visual experience.

Professional Installation Beyond the TV Itself

Many TV mounting companies focus solely on the television. They bolt the TV to the wall and consider the job done. True professionals understand that modern entertainment is a complete system. The TV, soundbar, cables, and positioning all contribute to the final experience. A comprehensive installation treats every component with equal professionalism.

In this Minnetonka installation, we approached the soundbar mounting with the same precision and care we brought to the TV mounting. Both components required careful positioning, proper hardware selection, and attention to how they visually and acoustically work together.
