TV wall mounting heights when pairing with a soundbar placed on a floating unit

Pairing a TV with a soundbar on a TV unit can be a simple yet stylish setup.

However, getting the right height is key to a balanced look and immersive audio experience.

This setup ensures the soundbar is both accessible and optimally placed for sound projection.

Let’s break down the ideal measurements and tips for each height variation.

Why Placement Matters

The goal is to create a seamless connection between your TV and soundbar while ensuring the setup complements your room’s layout. Whether you want a cozy, casual feel or a bold, elevated look, proper height measurements can make all the difference.

Why Measure from the TV Unit, Not the Floor?

Cabinets vary dramatically in height, often ranging from 30 cm to 70 cm above the floor. Measuring from the unit ensures the TV and cabinet align harmoniously, creating a balanced, polished look. This approach prevents your TV from being mounted too high or feeling disconnected from the rest of your setup.

By anchoring measurements to the cabinet, you ensure the installation is tailored to your unique layout, enhancing both function and aesthetics.

Low & Cozy (Not suitable for a soundbar)

This setup prioritizes a seamless connection between the TV and the freestanding unit, creating a sleek and modern look. However, the reduced space between the bottom of the TV and the top of the cabinet means there isn’t enough room to accommodate a soundbar.

Measurements & Tips

• Best For: Minimalist setups where soundbars aren’t required.

• Pro Tip: Opt for built-in TV speakers or consider alternate soundbar placements, such as wall-mounting below the cabinet.

Medium & Balanced

The medium height aligns the TV and soundbar at eye level when seated, offering both style and practicality.

Measurements & Tips

• TV Bottom to Unit Top: 25 cm

  Best For: Standard living rooms or shared family spaces.

  Pro Tip: Keep an even gap between the soundbar and TV for a harmonious, balanced look.

High & Sophisticated

For a dramatic look, mount the TV higher while keeping the soundbar as the focal point on the unit.

Measurements & Tips:

• TV Bottom to Unit Top: 33 cm

  Best For: Larger rooms or homes with open layouts.

  Pro Tip: Ensure the soundbar is centered on the unit to avoid a lopsided appearance.

How to Decide?

Choosing the right TV height depends on the size of your room, the type of freestanding unit you have, and your personal preferences. Low heights offer a cozy, modern look, while medium heights provide balance and comfort. High mounts, on the other hand, exude style and sophistication but work best in larger spaces.

Still deciding? have a look at optimal TV sizes and viewing distances to match your height choice to your screen size.
