If this is a floor mounted TV, how are people handling the placement of the center channel speaker?

I used the stand which came with the set and have the TV sitting atop a console. The center speaker is positioned directly behind the TV, and the sound comes through without any interference.

What I did was just mount directly to the speaker placing the bracket over the keyhole mount. The added movement capabilities were worth it. Being able to aim the speakers where I want them is great. If you just want fixed placement,just use the keyhole. Hope this helps

Remove the feet and you can set the speaker anyway you want.Do not lay speakers facing down.

I have a small Panasonic center channel speaker mounted to it. There are enough mounting holes to mount practically anything. The only mod I needed to make was to bend the bar slightly so the speaker speaker was level. This was due to a ridge at the bottom of the TV. The metal is thin enough to customize as needed.

Mine was placed horizontally as well because it is supposed to be a center speaker. To place on the wall may wish to consider setting up a wall shelf for it.

It is a very good center speaker and has very good dispersion. Can stand off to the side and it sounds like you are in front of it. Should work just fine.It is the main speaker for my home theater system and it really performs well.

I don't have much room for the center channel. I have it just behind the plasma kept on a stand. I don't see any interference, so assume there is no problem due to the shielding. I might be missing little on the sound, since the speakers are behind the TV, but these sound really good for its size.

Remember to screw in to an 2x4? Its heavy and try to put a bit of foam or something to take the vibration of from going into the wall? Also center speakers are made to b put in front of th listener's or angle ur speaker down ? This is very important ! And vrak in the speaker for 40-50 hrs of mid high volume? Face the speaker 1 inch from the wall and turn it up for a while. This speaker sucks until u brake the 8 inch speakers in? This is important! !!!! Have fun ,and enjoy !!!!&#128515;

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

I didnt mount this exact speaker in the ceiling, but I did box in between the rafters and mounted my other speakers. I have my room and living room done with these flush mount speakers. This exact one, I use as a center channel and I love it! But you need to limit the air space in the wall for all of these speakers for best sound results! If you want to save some money, look at the Micca speakers!

It can be placed on a tabletop or entertainment center. It comes with a wedged foot and some 3M tape to put on the bottom to use in this scenario, which is how I have it set up currently and it's perfect. It sounds fantastic too it fills my rather large media room and I have it bridged as a center channel only

Mine is set up with plenty of space on each side, but based on how it's constructed, I can't see that as an issue. The subwoofer is beneath the unit and the primary mid range speakers are in front. If anything, a more confined space may actually enhance the sound. Good luck

The speaker has a 1700hz high frequency cross over. Not much response below that range. That would be classified as mid-range frequency. Most center channel application is voice range and above

Erik, I used this for exactly that purpose...I purchased a POLK CS1 center channel speaker but had no where to place it. I purchase this and put the Plasma TV on top and the center channel speaker between the two shelves (With about a 1/2 inch clearance)....Worked perfectly...

That's the way I have it set up. Keep in mind you do have to sit in the center of the room to get the full surround effect. If you are off center by 3 or 4 feet you lose the total surround effect.

The speaker is at an angle in the housing, you need to get a side or 360 degree look to see if the angle is ok for you....

The speaker it's on the bottom facing down. It is set off the floor by it's own little rubber legs. I imagine they are engineered for optimal performance. You only have to plug it in and enjoy. The folks at the 800# with the instructions are very helpful if you have questions or want to double check yourself. I LOVE mine.
