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

Stephanie B., it is okay to use the Sound Bar with a 52-in TV. I currently have it hooked up with my LG HDTV. Clarity and its dynamic surround-sound like acoustics make it a perfect speaker system for the tv. I especially enjoy the blue tooth connectivity option, allowing me to connect with other blue tooth enabled appliances.

If you look at the dimensions of the 3xx series, they run about 14 to 16 inches deep and are normally placed on a table or a shelf directly under the TV. A Soundbar (by Zvox or any other manufacturer) can be mounted directly above your TV. The Zvox sound bars are about 6" deep, but you need a way to support its weight (15 to 25 lbs plus depending upon the model). Zvox can supply an optional mounting bracket (don't know what it would cost). BTW, the Zvox top of line soundbar (model 425) got excellent reviews and was comparable to a $1500 Yamaha soundbar.

We have our playbar mounted under our Panasonic 60 inch 3d plasma. It is beautiful. We have it about 3 inches below the tv and it does not interfere with anything. Not sure why u would buy a different mount to save like 10-15 bucks when ur paying for he best ? Love my Sonos set up

I also have a Samsung (50") with four mounting holes mounted to the wall. I put the soundbar above my tv and it should work mounting it below also. I took the TV off the wall mount and inserted the soundbar mounts between the back of tv and the four screws going into back of tv from wall mount. No extra screws were needed. I did have to purchase some extra screws to attach my Samsung soundbar to the bracket though.

The Panasonic surround sound home theater is much more powerful then the sound bar. You would have to run the surround sound at a lower volume in order to hear the sound bar. Plus it looks like the sound bar and surround system are comparable in quality, so you will get more sound, but it will be equal, not better.

I am considering the 325 and had considered placing it next to the TV as I have space there. From what you said this would bae a bad move. I am not in a position to purchase an HDTV now - we have a good, but very heavy old SONY which I fear is too heavy. I can build a supporting unti to place the 325 in and then set the sony on top. Do you think this would have any negaative affect on the 325 sound quality? Thanks very much for any thoughts you may have.cassocala

This is the real problem with having such a large center. Sounds Great but your almost forced to have it underneath your tv. You could get some sort of mount and put it above. Personally mine is below the TV and it doesnt sound as great

The sound bar is less than 34 inches and the subwoofer is 11 in. each side. There is a template in the box when you get the soundbar so you can hung it in the wall. The subwoofer is kind of heavy so you will need an special shelf if you want to put it against the wall. I tried to put it on a bookcase but it did not fit.

What do you suggest to improve the sound? I just ordered the TV - don't want to raise the roof or anything but don't want the sound to not match the picture. Thanks.

Check out SoundbarBrackets.comYou can attach your soundbar right to the TV above or below, even in a corner!

I didn't reply at first because I've been sick and busy with my biz. 'Sound Bar' threw me off too, I see some other replies that fit along with what I assumed you meant. Yes I have a center speaker under the tv. Of course the sizes of your TV and center speaker would be a factor in whether or not it would work. Generally it's a safe bet that most configurations would probably work.

I just would not consider buying this. There are plenty of others on the market that are much less expensive. Yes, you could above the TV, just mount whichever you buy then try a few different angles starting with aiming the device towards your ear when you are sitting. Hope this helps.

Hello Russell, Thank you for your inquiry. We recommend setting up the HiDEF Wireless Bluetooth TV Sound Bar Speaker System under the TV for best results. Sincerely, Accessory Genie Customer Service

It is possible if the TV has audio output connections and with the right cable/connectors, although soundbars specifically designed for this purpose exist. Although the sound quality is excellent, The high profile of this unit makes it awkward to place in front of a TV.

I don't see why not. Putting the TV on top of it just seems to save space and give an esthetic look to the setup.Most sound bars are placed directly in front of the TV but like any separate device it can be put alongside, next to, on separate shelf, etc. Of course you want to consider where the cables will show if not placed in the right area.
