Using the official Bose bracket ensures proper fit and stability, unlike universal mounts which may require adjustments and lack a flush fit. This setup results in a sleek, high-quality audio experience with reduced clutter and optimized speaker placement.
(The ideal mounting height for the Bose Soundbar 700 is between 30 and 40 inches from the floor. The Bose Soundbar 700 can be mounted under the TV, but it's crucial to leave enough clearance for the sound to project outward and for easy access to the soundbar's controls.)

(The Bose Soundbar 700 can be mounted on a variety of walls, including drywall, plaster, and concrete, but it's essential to ensure that the wall is sturdy enough to support the soundbar's weight. The Bose Soundbar 700 is a relatively large and heavy soundbar, weighing around 10.5 pounds.)
