Our take on the Center Stage Bracket CSB-505-BLK

Having trouble finding a spot near your flat-panel TV where you can place a compact speaker? The CSB-505-BLK easily attaches to the top of your TV and gives you a stable place for a single satellite speaker. It's a great solution for apartments and other rooms where drilling mounting holes into your wall isn't an option.

This compact shelf is designed for a small- to medium-sized satellite speaker with a maximum depth of 5". A thick rubber cap at the end of the leg tightens against your TV to keep the shelf securely in place. You can also adjust the mounting screws to angle the speaker down towards your listening position for better sonic performance. The top plate of the shelf is fitted with a foam strip on the bottom to protect the finish on your TV, and comes with a non-slip mat to keep the speaker from sliding around.

Highlights:

  • mounts directly to virtually any free-standing or wall-mounted TV
  • holds a speaker up to 5" deep and weighing up to 10 lbs.
  • 6" support leg with rubber cap keeps shelf in place
  • foam bottom protects TV finish
  • high-grade aluminum and steel construction
  • includes non-slip mat to keep speaker in place
  • black powder-coated finish
  • shelf measures 5"W x 5"D
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

Features

Overview: Center Stage Brackets were developed to meet the growing demand for brackets that would allow consumers to place center channel speakers on top of flat-panel LCD, LED, and Plasma television displays.

High-Grade Aluminum Construction: The Center Stage Bracket is constructed of high-grade aluminum and uses adjustable steel hardware. It is available in a power coated gloss-black finish. Each bracket is outfitted with a protective foam strip (which protects the television) and comes with a non-slip mat to keep your center speaker securely in place and free from damage or sliding.

Low-Profile Design: This low-profile model (CSB-0505-BLK-Satellite) is designed to accommodate television which are wall-mounted or table-top mounted, and will work well in nearly any home theater setup. This model is suited for small-sized speakers which have a maximum depth of 5-inches and weigh up to 10 lbs.

Center Channel Application: The Center Stage Bracket is suited for a wide range of speakers and televisions. The Center Stage Bracket allows speakers to be easily and quickly  mounted on top of modern flat-panel televisions whether they are freestanding or wall-mounted. The Center Stage Bracket is aesthetically pleasing and allows the center channel speaker to be placed in an optimal position without damage to the television.

Installation: The Center Stage Bracket features a low-profile design that is easy to install. It universally mounts on top of most flat-panel televisions that are freestanding or wall-mounted. The Center Stage Bracket features a top plate with a protective foam strip that rests on the top of your flat-panel television, and an adjustable leg support which clamps to the back of your flat-panel TV for an easy and secure installation. A non-slip mat is provided to place over the top plate to keep your center-channel speaker from sliding.

I was looking for an affordable, uncomplicated alternative to the available Kinect TV
attachments. This works great! My son attached it to his TV without any trouble. He loves it!

This is just perfect fit for the Energy RC-Micro center speaker piece. It will
leave like an inch of space at the back but the length is just perfect.
Highly recommended!

I bought this smaller shelf for our new Kinect. Absolutely perfect. I wish I
had seen these stands before, I might have gotten one for my center channel
speaker in my previous configuration. I still might. Simple but effective.

Perfect for Kinect

I got one of these after a suggestion to use it instead of the official Kinect TV mount because
the official mount doesn't play nice with my Samsung TV (LN46A550). I have to say, this
worked perfectly, and saved me money at the same time.

The perfect solution for mounting a Kinect sensor bar above the TV.

When I was buying it, I was trying to decide between the 505 and the 1205 which has the
two mounting arm. The one arm is plenty for the Kinect.

I finally got around to putting together a modern entertainment center, 55"
Samsung LED 8000, Yamaha A/V receiver, Mirage 5.1 Nanosats. Everything was
great except my wife didn't want to see the speakers at all. She wanted them
behind the TV which was sitting on a TV bench. This ruined the surround sound
effect because the center channel, the most important channel was blocked by the
TV. This center stage bracket is the perfect solution. Easy to assemble and install
it works perfectly. It gets the speaker out from behind the TV where it can be heard
clear as a bell.
