You mounted the TV to get rid of furniture clutter — then the soundbar ends up perched on a console right below it, with a power cable and an HDMI dangling down the wall. Mounting the soundbar finishes the job: bar tucked directly under the screen, cables hidden, nothing touching furniture. It's also the cheapest add-on in the install world when it's done in the same visit as the TV.
Leave 2–4" between the bottom of the TV and the top of the soundbar — enough that neither blocks the other, close enough to read as one unit. The bar should be horizontally centered on the TV, not the wall. Upward-firing Atmos bars need clear space above their top drivers, so they can't tuck tight under a deep TV bezel or a shelf. And if the TV is on a tilting mount, check the screen's lowest tilted edge before setting the bar height — pros tilt the TV first, then mark the bar position.
A mounted soundbar adds two cables: power, and HDMI-eARC (or optical) to the TV. The clean solution is running both through the same in-wall concealment channel as the TV's cables — most power-relocation kits have room, and the eARC cable is short. If the wall can't be opened, a slim paintable raceway from TV to bar keeps the look tight. What you don't want: a power brick zip-tied to the mount arm. Ask for the bar's power to be planned into the same outlet-relocation as the TV.
