any soundbar mount that lets you tilt the soundbar up or down?

Do these exist? I would have thought so but so far my googling comes up empty.

Why would I need one?
Our 60" TV is properly installed, i.e, our eyes are level with the center of the screen.
The soundbar is a plain old 2.1, forward-firing, non-Atmos model.
The soundbar is mounted to the bottom of the TV. As a result it aims sound at our knees, which is not optimal. Top mounting would aim it over our heads, also not optimal.
If I could tilt it to aim at our heads, that would be more optimal.

At this point I'm thinking of just using shims to tilt the bar upward in its current mount. But I'll be amazed if there isn't a more 'pro' solution.

Even if there was it would be overpriced, especially when as you say some 5p wooden shims will do the job. I used those rubber door stops when I wanted to angle my center channel up.

I now use this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acoustic-I...ords=isolation+pad&qid=1766689782&sr=8-4&th=1 - same effect although cost more.

Exactly as I have in the past -- for a center channel bookshelf-type loudspeaker.

For the TV-under-mounted soundbar I'll probably repurpose toilet bowl shims inserted between the back-attached soundbar holder and the soundbar.

Still, a mount with pivots is just not a real thing? Such pivot mount (with a lockdown mechanism) would allow easy adjustment of firing angle.

There are a lot of mounts with pivots but I doubt there will be any for a soundbar type setup unless it has vesa plates or a keyhole mount?

If you really wanted to you could diy one easy enough, just use some l-brackets and a couple of pivot wall mounts but its a lot of messing around for the sake of a small angle.

You'll have to look for mounts that don't attach to the display, those tend to be fixed and tilt with the display.

Yes, I saw those, but our TV is free-standing in a room corner, so, not an option.
