Review on πŸ”Š Adjustable Swivel Tilt Speaker Wall Ceiling Mount Stand - Black Bracket with Retractable Telescopic Arm - Ideal for Home Surround Sound System Bookshelf Satellite Speakers - Pyle PSTNDC31 (Pair) by Phil Kowal

Revainrating 3 out of 5

NOT what is pictured but BETTER adjustability

See review (Ahmed Sheikh on 07 Jan 2020) It has a picture of what I received, SQUARE BASE and the corner piece has a different one Design. Product photos while other reviews show a ROUND base as seen in the product photos. Also note that not all reviews with pictures appear in the GALLERY. The corner piece on this one has a wider range of adjustment than pictured (it has 3 holes). This has 7 holes and allows the mount to move from side to side. In other words, the speaker can be vertically flat (when on a stand) or canted to the right or left. 90 degrees. The OEM part pictured looks like a 45-60 degree adjustment on one side only. I ordered used, not in original packaging so don't know what it looks like, but I've searched ALL the mounts on the Pyle website including discontinued products and none of them (in this design) had a SQUARE base. Only the DJ POLE types had a rectangular base. They only have this round base model PSTNDC31 and no alternative models. There is a cheap little white sticker that says "PYLE", no model number anywhere, easy to remove. I have to assume these are fakes, which is odd as they are most likely already made in China. While they look good, I haven't installed them and don't intend to load them (22lb speakers). Although I have some larger speakers in the future that I might try. Check the welds on all areas of ANY fixture you purchase for any product before using/installing it. If there are cracks or missing welds, send them back. Fix the speakers to the bracket and to the wall, the description is clear that they are not supplied, ASSEMBLY ONLY. This is because, unlike TVs, which conform to the VESA standard, the speakers differ in their mounting systems and capabilities (and these mounts come with universal screws). The USER must obtain suitable equipment for the speaker and the wall. If you don't mind a different design they should work, I just don't know what the max rating would be, I have to assume they will easily hold at least 50lbs. Just make sure your wall mount (in bolts or the right types of anchors) is correct or it could come loose from the wall and cause damage or hurt someone. Same goes for side speaker mounts: the screws must be deep enough and more than 1 or 2 screws must be installed if over 20lbs unless they are OEM inserts and they are only guaranteed to work with 1 or 2 bolts I recommend a seat belt chain/cable cord in case of catastrophic failure. I am giving 3 stars for the wrong product that was sent/pictured and that is why people are seeing this review. 5 stars for adjustability and strength/construction.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • There are nuances
