Wall Mounting

Determine how you want to set up your BAR1 and Wireless Subwoofer Audio System.

The BAR1 system comes with a wall mounting kit to be used with a wall mounted TV. The input jacks and power cord 
are designed to allow a flush mount where the BAR1 extends only 2” (50 mm) from the wall. Also, the BAR1 is provided 
with an extra long power cord so the user may hide the AC line by using a wall track that could be painted to match the 
wall.

Follow these steps to mount the BAR1 on 
a wall:

1.  Measure the width of the TV – the BAR1 should be 

mounted so it is centered with the TV. Divide the TV 
width measurement by 2 - that will be the centerline 
distance from the edges of the TV.

2.  If the BAR1 is to be mounted below the TV, measure from 

the TV edge to the centerline distance on the open wall 
below the TV. 
Mark the distance with a pencil 1-1/2“ (38 mm) or 
more below the bottom of the TV.

3.  Make a pencil mark 10-7/16” (265 mm) on each 

side of the centerline. Make sure the mark is the 
same distance down from the TV on each side.

4.  Make another mark 25/32“ (20 mm) directly 

below the 1st mark on each side.

5.  Drill a ¼” hole in the wall at each of the four 

pencil marks.

6.  Hammer the 4 wall mount anchors into the holes 

- the anchors should be flush with the wall.

7.  Now, using a Philips screwdriver, screw 

the wall brackets in place with the 
screws going into the anchors.

8.  Tilting the bottom of the BAR1 slightly 

away from the wall, guide the brackets 
into the matching holes on the back of 
the BAR1. The BAR1 is now securely 
wall mounted.

NOTES

The supplied mounting kit can be used for typical drywall construction. Mounting to wood, concrete, 

brick or other types of wall construction will require different hardware. Roth AV recommends seeking 

professional assistance for such installations. The instructions on this page and the supplied wall mount kit 

are only for the vertical wall mount. Professional assistance is required for other mounting or installation 

orientations (e.g., horizontal, tilted).
