Professional speaker mounting in Exeter. We mount bookshelf speakers, surround sound systems, ceiling speakers, and wireless speakers. Positioned perfectly for great sound, securely fixed, cables hidden.
Properly mounted speakers sound better and look cleaner. We position speakers at the correct height and angle for your listening position, use secure brackets and fixings, hide cables where possible, and ensure everything is level and safe.
We work with all speaker types - passive bookshelf speakers, active wireless speakers, surround sound systems, ceiling speakers, outdoor speakers, and studio monitors. Each type needs different mounting techniques.
| Speaker Type | Typical Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bookshelf pair | 45-60 mins | Wall mounted at ear height |
| Surround speakers | 1-1.5 hrs | Positioned per Dolby guidelines |
| Ceiling speakers | 30-45 mins each | Requires ceiling access |
| Outdoor speakers | 45-60 mins | Weather-resistant fixings |
| Wireless speakers | 30-45 mins | Near power outlets |
Positioning guidelines: Front speakers - ear height when seated. Surrounds - slightly above and behind seating. Ceiling - avoid direct overhead. We'll optimize for your room layout.

What to Expect
Step 1: Planning - We discuss your setup, check wall types, plan speaker positions based on your seating, and agree on cable routing. We'll bring brackets if you don't have them.
Step 2: Installation - We mount brackets using appropriate fixings, hang speakers, connect and route cables, hide cables as agreed, and angle speakers toward your listening position.
Step 3: Testing - We check all connections, ensure speakers are secure and level, test sound output, and make final adjustments. You'll have perfectly positioned speakers with clean cable management.
🔧 DIY Tips
Speaker position basics: Front speakers should be ear height when seated (usually 90-120cm from floor). Tilt them slightly down toward listening position. Space them apart roughly the same distance as you sit from them.
For surround speakers: Side surrounds go slightly behind and above seating (120-150cm high). Rear surrounds go directly behind and slightly above. Don't mount too high - common mistake.
Cable planning: Measure cable runs before buying cables. Add 20% extra for routing. Most speakers use standard speaker wire, but some wireless models need power outlets nearby.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
For ceiling speakers, we need access above the ceiling (loft space) to run cables and position properly. If there's no access, we'll explain alternatives.
Heavy speakers need proper wall fixings - we assess load bearing and use appropriate fixings. If mounting on plasterboard, we'll locate studs or use cavity anchors rated for the weight.
Speaker brackets come in various types - fixed, tilting, or articulating. We can advise which suits your needs or work with what you have.
