However, it\u2019s best to make sure that the soundbar is placed at around ear level. This ensures that the sound can travel effectively towards you for the best experience.<\/p>\n<p>Grabbing a new soundbar is always an exciting experience. When paired with an equally large <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reliant.co.uk\/televisions\">television<\/a> screen, a soundbar makes it much easier to lose yourself in the magic of film and TV. However, there is often quite a lot of debate as to where exactly a soundbar should be placed. <\/p>\n<p>A soundbar makes it much easier to enhance the sound of your favourite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reliant.co.uk\/blog\/best-4k-content-to-enjoy-with-your-new-tv\/\">content<\/a>, without needing to invest hundreds of pounds in a cumbersome surround sound system. But, in order to make the most of it, you\u2019ll need to make sure to put it in just the right place.<\/p>\n<p>Worried about putting your soundbar in the right place? Want to ensure it sounds perfect right from the jump? Don\u2019t worry, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reliant.co.uk\/\">Reliant<\/a> tech experts can help you to do just that. In this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reliant.co.uk\/blog\/\">guide<\/a>, we\u2019ll show you how to make the most of soundbar positioning for maximum enjoyment!<\/p>\n<h2>Can You Place Your Soundbar Above The TV?<\/h2>\n<p>Most people tend to place a soundbar directly under the TV it\u2019s paired with. As such, many people often wonder whether it\u2019s a bad idea to place a soundbar above the screen instead. Our experience with soundbars has shown that you can place it above or below the screen, and still get a great audio experience. <\/p>\n<p>As long as the sound from your soundbar is aligned with the action on-screen, you\u2019ll be getting the best experience. By this, we mean that the soundbar should be placed parallel to the screen, in the direct centre. If your soundbar is skewed too far to the left or the right of the screen, it can result in the audio sounding off-centre. This can destroy your immersion, as it will create a mental disconnect between the action on-screen and the sound from the soundbar. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You definitely can place a soundbar above the TV. Just make sure it\u2019s aligned to the centre of the TV screen, to bridge the gap between visuals and sound. This ensures the best experience!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you\u2019re stuck deciding between placing the soundbar above or below the screen, you\u2019ll want to consider where you will be sitting while watching the TV. Your relation to the TV is highly important. This also extends to the sound. Generally, your soundbar should be at around ear level. This is similar to how a TV should be at around eye level for maximum comfort. Placing your soundbar at ear level makes it easier for sound to reach you without sounding muted in any way.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text quote_border_color=&#8221;#126366&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; ul_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; ul_line_height=&#8221;1.7em&#8221; quote_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; quote_font_size=&#8221;22px&#8221; quote_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_4_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_5_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Should You Place A Soundbar Above Or Below The TV?<\/h2>\n<p>Provided your soundbar is placed at ear level, and it\u2019s easy to hear, it can be placed above or below the screen. But, if you\u2019re having trouble deciding between placing the soundbar above or below the screen, you\u2019ll want to consider how you plan to store it. <\/p>\n<p>If your TV is wall-mounted, then it\u2019s a great idea to wall-mount the soundbar too. For most people, the most convenient option would be to wall-mount below the screen. This is because, on most TVs, audio output ports are positioned towards the bottom of the unit. This makes it easier to directly connect to a soundbar. However, if you\u2019re connecting your soundbar wirelessly, then you can opt to mount it above the TV, as well as below.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, you might opt to rest your soundbar on a TV stand, or on the shelf of an entertainment centre. Again, in this kind of case, it\u2019s best to place the soundbar below the screen, so that it\u2019s firmly held in place. If your TV is stored in a television cabinet, with plenty of shelf space surrounding the screen, then you can more justifiably place the soundbar above the screen. Just make sure that it is firmly and securely held in place![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.reliant.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sound1.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Sound&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Sound&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text quote_border_color=&#8221;#126366&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; ul_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; ul_line_height=&#8221;1.7em&#8221; quote_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; quote_font_size=&#8221;22px&#8221; quote_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_4_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_5_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Is It Better To Place A Soundbar Below The TV?<\/h2>\n<p>In most cases, placing your soundbar beneath its paired TV is the most convenient option. As we\u2019ve shown already, it\u2019s much easier to find a secure spot for a soundbar when it\u2019s placed below a TV. This means that you can more quickly get to enjoying your new soundbar, and remain confident that it won\u2019t tumble towards the ground. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For most people, the most convenient option will be to place a soundbar below its paired TV. This makes it easier to place the soundbar at ear level to the listener!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s also more likely that the position beneath your TV will be closest to ear level. Thus, the sound from your soundbar will be much clearer, and much more like the real thing. This increases believability and creates a stronger connection between the on-screen images and the associated audio.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;FAQs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; ul_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; ul_line_height=&#8221;1.7em&#8221; quote_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; quote_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_4_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_5_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n<h4>Can A Soundbar Be Placed Above A TV?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes. A soundbar can absolutely be placed above its paired TV. As long as a soundbar is aligned to the centre of the TV, it will sound fantastic. This is why you should not place it to the left or right of the screen. In some cases, however, it\u2019s best to place the soundbar below the screen. This puts the soundbar at ear level, for better clarity. <\/p>\n<h4>How Far Below A TV Should A Soundbar Be Mounted?<\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019re mounting a soundbar beneath a wall-mounted TV, you\u2019ll want to ensure there is around 2 inches of space between the two devices. This ensures a clean look and also keeps both devices safe. The distance will prevent the soundbar from vibrating against the TV screen. Feel free to place the soundbar any lower than 2 inches below the screen. Just make sure it\u2019s close to ear level for the best sound.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding the right place for your soundbar is crucial for getting the right experience.
