Digital camera reviews of OmniMount CCH1B Center Channel Speaker Shelf
Digital camera Review: Does what it's supposed to but caused image distortion.
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought and mounted this (8 lb speaker) on our 73 inch Mitsubishi DLP. It is a high quality stand but I noticed that the weight on the back of our tv caused the image in the middle to bow downwards. It wasn't extremely noticeable but just enough to make me concerned about the long term effects. I decided to make and mount a shelf behind the tv on the wall. Unfortunately removing the Omnimount's sticky pads with the shelf stuck to it was a chore in itself. May work better for tv's with a more solid back or one that is not quite so steep as ours.Digital camera Review: Don't attempt heavy load

I bought one of these to hold my 30 lb center channel on top of my 61" Samsung DLP. It worked just fine for about a week, and then last night the speaker came crashing down the back of my TV. The metal rods have ripped apart from the base (screws still in place, top part of metal rod itself ripped off). Also, the bolts that sit in front of the TV scratched my Samsung pretty good...it scratched it as I was installing it, and then again when it came crashing down.
I'm not angry or anything, I was using this shelf at its weight limit, and perhaps a pound or two above. Also, my center channel extended behind the shelf (I have a deep center channel). I would imagine this shelf would work great for a lighter, shallower center channel. If you have a heavy or large center like me, you may be better off with a HyLoft Heavy Duty Wall Shelf. I just ordered one from Amazon...and I'm SURE it will be sturdy enough (designed to hold 200lb).
Digital camera Review: Durable and nice-looking!
Summary: 5 Stars
For the money, this unit can't be beat. It was very easy to assemble and it should last forever. It also looks nice, though one won't be able to see 99% of it, and that's a good thing because you want people to see the speaker, not the shelf.
I haven't purchased my new TV yet, but I hope to be mounting this by next month on a new 1080p Samsung 50" DLP. I am sure it will work perfectly.
Digital camera Review: Exactly what I needed, only one that I found would work
Summary: 4 Stars
I own a KDS-60XBR2 and wanted to mount a center channel that was about 14" wide and 10" deep. This mount was perfect for the fit on top of the TV. Only problem I have with it is the front two "peg feet" are steel with no padding, so I suggest getting some foam pads to place underneath them before placing it on the front edge of your TV as they will scratch it. The rear feet come with double sided adhesive foam pads that work well. I personally only peeled off the side to stick to the shelfs feet and left the paper backing on the side touching the TV since I wasn't sure how hard it would be when it was time to remove it. Overall works great and is very reasonably priced. It has enough adjustment options to accomodate most new projection TV's but not the newest super slim cabinets and definitely not a plasma or flat screen LCD.Digital camera Review: Excellent mount

This product has made a huge difference in the look and sound of our home theatre system. Being able to place the center channel above the tv makes the sound system sound better when seated and significantly better when standing, plus it frees up space for other equipment below the screen. My only gripe is with the clamp system to hold the legs in place. The plastic inserts do not serve to hold the adjustable legs at the desired length very well, but overall it is exactly what I wanted.
