screws {92} as shown. The flat surfaces on
the threads allow the screw to be held with a
wrench while a nut {87} secures the soundbar

Soundbar with Holes on the Bottom
For a soundbar that is flat and deep, with holes
in the bottom. This soundbar will require the
L-Brackets and possibly the Cradles.
For Wider Soundbars
For a soundbar with holes that are a very wide
distance apart. This soundbar will require the
Soundbar Wings.
NOTE: If the holes are wide and located in the
bottom of the soundbar, the L-Brackets can be
mounted to the Soundbar Wings.
For Soundbars with no Mounting Holes
A Soundbar that does not have any accessible holes
can be supported with the front Cradles. Use the
supplied Velcro tape at the back or bottom to secure
the soundbar, and use the supplied foam tape at the
front of the Cradle to squeeze the soundbar while you
tighten the screws {90} and secure the Cradles.
Soundbar with Holes on the Back
For a soundbar that is tall and shallow, with
holes in the back. This soundbar might require
the Soundbar Wings to get the correct height.

Assembling with TV Brace Extenders
The Speaker Kit works with TVs that require the TV Brace
Extender to reach the lower screws on the TV. If this is the
case, then the Brace Extenders need to be inserted into the
Vertical Braces the opposite as stated in the Manual for the
MantelMount. A washer will have to be installed between the
extender and TV to ll the gap.
Long or Short Adjust Bracket can be attached to the Brace
Extender or through both Vertical Brace and Brace Extender.
Depth Adjust Placement
The Depth Adjust Parts Can be attached in various
congurations to avoid speaker attachment points and to
get the best speaker and handle height. Shown below are
two examples:
Example One: Full Depth, Outside Attachment
Example Two: Full Depth, Inside Attachment

Determine which method you wish to use to attach the soundbar:
Soundbar Wings, the L-Brackets, or the Cradles. The cradles do
not need to be attached at this time.
MM340 does not have a Horizontal Brace so the Soundbar Wings
are used instead to provide some width and also a mounting
platform for the L-Brackets. All other mounts have a Horizontal
Brace for mounting.
MM340 requires Spacers {88} and longer Screws {91} when
mounting the Soundbar Wings to the Handles.
The L-Brackets are only used for holes in the bottom of the
soundbar, or to install the Cradles for a soundbar without
accessible holes. Otherwise, the soundbar can be attached
directly to the Soundbar Wings.

SBK00 RECESS BOX INSTALLATION
Since the recess box is closer to the wall, the Long Depth Support can NOT be used with a recess box. Only the
Short Depth support is used. If using the Horizontal Recess Brace with the Recess Box, the SBK00 Soundbar Kit will
not work.
Recess Box Assembly Since the recess box is closer to the wall, the Long Depth Support can NOT be used with a recess box. Only the
Short Depth support is used.
Depending on the thickness of the TV and depth of the soundbar, the 2 may not be flush. But you will still get an extra .75” (20mm) of
soundbar depth and tilt adjust.
