Mounting Dream Soundbar Mount Bracket for Mounting Above or Under TV (MD5420)
Quick take
The Mounting Dream MD5420 is a soundbar mounting bracket made for installing a soundbar above or below a TV, with detachable long extension plates that add positioning flexibility. It’s designed for many wall-mount setups (fixed, tilt, or full-motion) and supports soundbars up to 15 lb, but you’ll need to verify your TV VESA pattern and your soundbar’s mounting-hole layout for a clean fit.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Supports soundbars up to 15 lb (6.8 kg), with alloy-steel construction.
- Detachable long extension plates allow more positioning flexibility, including 180-degree swivel.
- Designed for above or below TV mounting, compatible with fixed, tilt, and full-motion wall mounts.
- Includes the bracket and hardware, with installation described as straightforward by multiple buyers.
Cons
- Fit depends on your TV VESA up to 600x400mm and on soundbar hole placement, and some setups may require extra steps.
- May not fit TVs over 83 inches, with additional extension noted for larger TVs.
What buyers think
Buyer feedback trends toward the mount being a practical, flexible solution for pairing a TV with a soundbar. Many reviews highlight secure mounting and a clean alignment when the bracket is installed on TVs that are already wall-mounted, often for multiple brand soundbars. Buyers also mention that the kit includes usable hardware and that instructions are generally easy to follow.
At the same time, review evidence also points to the importance of compatibility. Some buyers describe successful results across different TV brands, while others run into hole-distance or spacing differences that may mean additional adjustments (such as drilling new holes) or requesting a longer bar for wider mounting-hole spacing. Overall, the product’s value and convenience are most consistent when the soundbar’s mounting pattern lines up with the bracket tray and when your TV size falls within the mount’s stated limits.
Who this soundbar mount is for
The MD5420 is a strong fit if you want your soundbar positioned above or below your TV, and you’re using (or planning to use) a wall mount that supports fixed, tilt, or full-motion movement. It’s also a good choice when your soundbar is within the maximum weight rating (up to 15 lb) and your TV’s VESA pattern is within the listed range.
Who should avoid it
You may want to look for another option if your TV is larger than the stated compatibility limit (note: MD5420 may not fit TVs over 83 inches). It may also be a poor match if your soundbar’s mounting-hole layout is very unusual or far from the bracket’s expected spacing, because compatibility issues can require extra modifications.
Key features that affect real-world use
Soundbar weight and bracket durability
The bracket is rated to hold soundbars up to 15 lb (6.8 kg). It’s made from alloy steel, which matters for stability when you’re mounting a relatively heavy accessory under or beside TV movement.
Flexible positioning with detachable long extension plates
Detachable long extension plates let the system swivel up to 180 degrees. In practice, this is useful if your TV wall mount or your preferred soundbar position does not line up neatly with a fixed bracket point.
Compatibility with TV VESA patterns and wall mount types
Support is listed for TVs with VESA patterns up to 600x400mm, and for wall mounts that are fixed, tilt, or full-motion. If you already have a full-motion TV mount and want the soundbar to stay properly aligned as you move the TV, this design is intended to work with that setup type.
Installation expectations
Multiple buyers describe the installation as manageable, with included hardware and instructions. The bracket is intended to secure the soundbar to the mount setup (rather than requiring new wall anchors just for the soundbar). However, if your soundbar’s hole spacing does not line up with the bracket tray, you may need to perform additional adjustments.

Pros and cons summary
- Buy it if you have a wall-mounted TV (especially fixed, tilt, or full-motion), need above-or-below soundbar placement, and your soundbar weighs 15 lb or less.
- Double-check first if your TV is larger than 83 inches or if your soundbar’s mounting-hole distance is wider or deeper than the bracket’s tray arrangement.
