The plate has a slight (1/8") foam backing that allows for variations in textured walls, but I don't think it is enough to account for a wall outlet. Certainly not one with a face plate. Probably need to look at recess options.

No that wouldn't work due to the back side of the mount having to be in direct contact with the wall. It has a rubber gasket to prevent vibration. There's only a small cutout in the center to pass wiring thru.

You have a couple of questions here- let me attempt to answer the first. Don't believe the design would allow for you to mount directly over an electrical outlet since it is designed to fit flush to the wall. Understand why you want to hide the wires. In lieu of recessed outlet you might consider a spacer board (cut to the size of the mount and around your outlets) to give you a solid mount and a way to connect to outlets. Good luck!

There are various holes in the wall mount that may be large enough for the wall socket, but depending how thick it is it may foul the speaker itself. I would bite the bullet and recess the power outlet.....

The plate installs flat against the wall I don't see how this would be possible nor safe.As another potential solution you can move the plate. I moved the plate directly behind the tv then installed the bar power cord in that hidden outlet. You can also buy a strip from Home Depot/lowes to hide the power cord as a cheaper solution.hope this helps.

I mounted my two right to the wall. For a more flush and clean mount. Install a recessed outlet behind the mount. For improved stability try to hit at least one stud while mounting.

No problem. The mounting hardward doesn't show. I would recommend however that you purchase also from a local store a strip of cord cover for the picture down to the outlet. Makes it look a whole lot neater.Regards,

Hi! I know that the video published with the intent to market this item is interesting and promotes this interesting idea that this plug can attached to a mounting plate in order to get rid of electrical cords, but I just could not accomplish this because my desktop table is made of solid plastic. I did not by item for the mounting plate, I bought it because I could plug the iPod Touch for instance and also because my big tension bar was gathering dust. Additionally, it simply seems to me too that I did not receive screws with the mounting plate, which is not a surprise at companies do try to save money, but as I am not sure at all of this fact I prefer saying to you that I do ignore the presence of screws in the packaging at first. In the case you took the time to take a look at the wholes in the mounting plate, they are about 2 millimeters large, then you have to find screws that fit in a whole measuring 2 millimeters. It is that simple. 2 short screws able to fit in this size. I have that size at home and it should do the thing I am sure. Good luck with your assemblage of the whole thing, and have a good day!

I suggest ordering additional wall brackets and mount them strategically around outside near outlets. Then move to each location as required. Storage is best done inside. Don't store outside plugged in...water and current don' t mix

With some adjustments you may be able to do so. The cables should be long enough to move the connection a little further from where they are if needed (of course depends how much off center it is). Just need to center the inner plate as needed and screw to the wall instead of to the electric plate.

The back bracket is to run the wire connections through to the wall outlet or surge protector strip. This eliminates wires hanging all over. This is a really great unit!

I would think it depends on how you mount it. Using the hardware it came with, mine sits slightly off the wall. My guess woukd be that it would fit over outlet covers.

I had no idea you were supposed to move the coverplate until I saw these answers! I just plugged it in over the outlets and put the screw aside bc I didn't know what it was for... (heh) It works perfectly fine but I'll fix mine now. Thanks for asking this question & thank you everyone for your answers!

Hi. Yes, you need an ordinary and suitable electrical box inside the wall, you can buy it at HomeDepot or Lowes. This is only the faceplate, also you need the keystone inserts.

You can. It's 2 pronged and will fit any way you arrange it. I just tried to do it on my outlet.

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish but it sounds like you want to use the plate as an adapter to the current wall mount arm that you have. This is a pretty heavy duty plate. And you will probably have to do some modifications to it to attach it to the end of your arm. So... not really sure how that would work with your setup.

It actually fits very tightly in the outlet. It also take only one plug outlet and does not cover the second outlet on the wall plate. It saves us from using power strips which can sometime become unsightly.

Yes, you can hide the wires. It's recommended that you place the wires behind the wall bracket before attaching it, although they can still be snaked through after it's on the wall. It's just that larger plugs are a big more difficult, especially once you have a number of wires already behind the bracket.

This is exactly what is says it is just a wall plate with the connectors. You will have to run the wires and mount the box within the wall prior to installing this plate. (To answer your question: cut hole in wall where you want the box. Mount box. Run wire...)

It would be a very tight fit. Odds are if you're trying to run a cord through the wall you would have to use in-wall rated methods (i.e. set up a new outlet) to be code-compliant which would render this plate irrelevant.

depends on the dimensions of the outlet. the space on the back plate is only about the size of your hand, so if the outlet is bigger than that I wouldn't risk it, or I'd find another place to mount.
