Can a TV be mounted directly on a sound-absorbing wall?

If you're planning to create a modern home theater or stylish living room, you might be wondering:

"Can I mount the TV directly on a sound-absorbing wall?"

In short: It's not recommended.

Here are the reasons and the correct installation method.

❌ Why you shouldn't mount a TV directly on a sound-absorbing panel

Sound-absorbing panels—especially felt-backed wooden slats—are for absorbing sound, not for bearing weight.

Mounting a TV directly on acoustic panels may result in:

Insufficient structural support

Risk of panel damage

Unsafe installation

Degraded acoustic performance

✔ Correct way to install a TV using acoustic panels

You can perfectly combine a TV wall mount with acoustic panels—simply follow these steps:

1. First, mount the TV bracket on a solid wall.

The TV should be securely fixed to the following wall surfaces:

Concrete wall

Brick wall

Use suitable anchors to secure to drywall

Wooden frame

2. Install the acoustic panels around the bracket.

Leeyin's wood slat acoustic panels are precisely cut to perfectly fit the wall mount, providing a seamless, high-quality look.

3. Hide cables behind the panel.

Our panels have small gaps between the wood slats and felt backing—perfect for concealing cable management.
