THE INSIDE STORY: HIDEit Universal Soundbar Mount

When we set out to create the HIDEit Universal Soundbar Mount (Uni-SBR), our goal was simple: make it the best soundbar mount on the market. But getting there was anything but simple. In September 2023, we started the journey of creating the Uni-SBR, with a vision for a soundbar mount that isn't just functional but also easy to install, durable, and has a minimal and versatile design enough to last through soundbar upgrades.

WHY DID WE MAKEit?

"At first, it was a Ray bracket. But then we thought 'How can we make one that will work with multiple products?' It's going to be small and compact... a lot of installers we work with can buy a couple and leave them in their truck because it won't take up a lot of space."

- Chuck Shirley, Co-Founder and COO of HIDEit mounts.

HOW DID WE MAKEit?

We know soundbar speakers can be hefty, so we chose to use heavy-duty 12-gauge steel support the speaker's weight. The choice wasn't just about strength, it was also about giving our customers peace of mind when wall mounting their soundbars.

For extra security, we made a decision to add a keyhole feature to our design— this locks the soundbar in place once installed, providing a a secure fit that keeps the speaker flush to the wall.

Ease of installation is another top priority. That's why we added obrounds to our design. With this feature, the soundbar can be moved side to side so you can easily find the right alignment and achieve that professional look.

"When we looked at the template, it was very big and it was thick, so it was hard to hold on the wall. So I suggested to slim it down, make it smaller and simpler. It's important for installers to have the ability to use if for a lot more applications."

- Dustin McGuire, HIDEit Warehouse Manager.
