5. Setup and Installation
The Techly NP 109962 soundbar mount offers flexible installation options, allowing you to mount your soundbar above or below your TV. It can be attached to existing wall-mounted TV brackets or directly to the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.

- Phillips head screwdriver
- Wrench (if applicable for your TV screws)
5.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare your TV: If your TV is already wall-mounted, ensure it is securely in place. If not, place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to protect the screen.
- Identify VESA Holes: Locate the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV. These are typically in a square or rectangular pattern.
- Attach Brackets to TV:
- Align the soundbar mount brackets with the upper or lower VESA mounting holes on your TV.
- Use the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the provided hardware kit to secure the brackets to the TV. Ensure they are tightened firmly but do not overtighten.

- Attach Soundbar to Brackets:
- Carefully position your soundbar onto the extended arms of the installed brackets.
- Secure the soundbar to the brackets using the appropriate screws and hardware provided with your soundbar, or from the mount's kit if compatible. Ensure the soundbar is stable and level.
- Final Check: Gently test the stability of the soundbar and the mount. Ensure all connections are secure before operating your TV and soundbar.
6. Operating Instructions
The Techly NP 109962 is a passive soundbar mount. Once installed, its primary function is to securely hold your soundbar in the desired position relative to your TV. There are no operational controls on the mount itself.
- Sound Direction: By mounting the soundbar directly to the TV, the sound is directed in the same general direction as the TV screen, enhancing the auditory and visual experience.
- Adjustments: If your TV mount allows for tilting or swiveling, the soundbar will move with the TV, maintaining its relative position.
7. Maintenance
The Techly NP 109962 soundbar mount requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the powder-coated finish.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Loose connections can lead to instability.
- Damage: If the mount appears damaged or bent, discontinue use immediately and replace it.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during or after installation, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Soundbar is not level | Uneven tightening of screws or incorrect positioning. | Loosen soundbar attachment screws, adjust level, and re-tighten evenly. Ensure TV is level if wall-mounted. |
| Mount feels unstable | Screws not fully tightened or incorrect hardware used. | Check all screws connecting the mount to the TV and the soundbar to the mount. Ensure they are tightened securely. Verify correct screw lengths and types were used. |
| Brackets do not fit TV VESA holes | TV VESA pattern is outside the supported range. | Confirm your TV's VESA pattern (horizontal x vertical distance in mm) is between 200x100 and 600x400. This mount is not compatible with other VESA patterns. |
| Soundbar is too heavy | Soundbar exceeds the 15 kg weight limit. | Remove the soundbar. This mount is not suitable for soundbars heavier than 15 kg. Using an overweight soundbar can cause damage or injury. |
