Which Wall box should I get?

The first step will be to make sure they align vertically and horizontally with the TV so that none of the edge of the wall box will be visible. This can often happen with smaller TVs on the PS40 and WB26 Wall Box pairing. Therefore, we would recommend you measure the height of your TV to confirm it is taller than the 26” height of the WB26. If the TV is less than 26” tall, we would most likely recommend the UB22 and a smaller PS Mount.  

Selection also depends on how you are planning to use the Wall Box. The standard WB boxes (21-80) are designed to pair perfectly with their compatible mounts. The WB26 and above are also able to mount additional TV electronic accessories, like the Samsung Connect. Again, this means that your specific application may impact which mount is the right choice.

Next you need to decide if you’d like the Wall Box to mount between two 14” studs or if you’d like it to be mounted in a twin stud bay between two studs, approximately 30.5” in width. The UB (Universal Box) is not as tall as the WB and makes it a much more suitable choice for smaller TVs or for applications where a wider mount may be necessary.   

Like the WB, the UB has a complimentary size to go with each of the PS wall mounts and allows for flush mounting. Additionally, it is the optimal choice for anyone who wants to mount a power supply or connection points concealed behind the TV. Additionally, each size of the UB is compatible with the Samsung Connect Box.

Selecting the correct wall mount for your TV installation is an important step at the beginning of your project. At Sound Approach, we are here to help you every step of the way and ensure that you get exactly what you need. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for confirmation of your setup prior to purchase or let us know if you have any questions.

Enjoy your new TV mount!
