Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of OmniMount Stainless Steel 20.0 Wall Speaker Mount (Black - 20 lb)
Customer Review: These mounts are really really really good.
Summary: 5 Stars
I moved into a new house and unfortunately have less than optimum space for my Home Theater speakers. For my right and left surrounds, i am using Infinity IL10 Bookshelf Speakers ([...] )and i needed to find a way to mount them in some odd places on my walls. Well, i did look all over and i came across these Omnimount Stainless mounts. These are pretty large speakers and they weigh 18 lbs. each. The Omni's are rated for up to 20 so i figured i would give it a shot eventhough some of the reviews here seem less than stellar. Well, i have to say after reading the instructions and mounting these speakers on the wall, i can move them to any position i want and they stay. I am very impressed. My advice to anyone who seems to have trouble is to just read the instructions again. With Stainless hardware, you can tighten them very well and they won't move. This is a great buy!

Customer Review: A Solid Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used OmniMount products before and when the built-in diecast speaker mount on my Energy Encore satellite recently broke, I figured that I might have a problem since these speakers have been out of production for sometime. Sure enough, they were not available and, so, I turned to Omnimout and found exactly what I needed. However, I inadvertently ordered the 20.0 (20lb) mount which had a 3/8" threaded stem, which I use for my heavier center channel speaker. I therefore had to return this item and get the 10.0 (10lb)mount which had the 1/4" stem and which fit perfectlyinto the pre-drilled hole in the back of my satellite. Amazon had the best on-line prices around. The order process was fast, efficient and the product arrived at my home within 5 days. The return of the incorrect mount was also handled with dispatch. Overall, a pleasant experience with Amazon.Customer Review: 20 lbs mounts have 3/8- 16 mounting thread (10 lbs have 1/4" - 20)
Summary: 5 Stars
The product is very good, however be sure to check the thread size on the back of your speakers. Many speakers that you will find for your home will have a 1/4" - 20 mounting thread in the back of the speaker. The Omni-mount 20 lbs mounts (both wall and ceiling type) will have 3/8" - 16 threads. Personally, I used the 20 lbs mounts and added a 3/8" - 16 female to 1/4" - 20 male thread adapter (also called a standoff sometimes) in order to mount my speakers. If you are mounting wood speakers with no pre-installed threaded insert for mounting, than the thread size doesn't matter since it comes with the required parts for screwing into the back of the wood frame speaker.
I agree with the other reviewer(s) that you should mount it to studs to get it properly secured.
Customer Review: GREAT MOUNTS! GREAT PRICE!
Summary: 5 Stars
These Omni speaker mounts worked just as advertised. I am very pleased they look great (not that you can see much of them) and were easy to install (well it's not rocket science- would have been easier with two people like the directions say). We used them to mount a couple of 18lb speakers in a large room. We needed the floor space so it was important to get the speakers up high. If you are mounting anywhere near the ceiling though, get the ceiling mount set, even if you are mounting on the wall. The longer extension arm will give you more options for speaker adjustment. I would definitely buy them again and recommend them to anyone looking to get their speakers up on the wall or ceiling.Customer Review: Best Mounts On Market!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are great! Obviously you can not mount them on wallboard without added support. Anyone having problems with them holding has the mounts upside down! Put them the right way up and they will support like they are built to. I have used these over the years and they are the only ones I would buy again. My last set I put up yesterday and they work perfect. The instructions are not printed rather copied and a bit hard to read, but a little brain power will get you there easily. Make sure they are mounted with logo stamp on top as the instruction states, or they will fail! Mount them the right way and they will defy gravity for years.
