Wall Mount Monitors (not flush)

If I remember right the KH310’s have enough EQ settings to in general compensate for mounting close to the walls, but here is the thing I’m doubting your going to be able to find the ideal position without tearing off some drywall, bracing between studs.
Plus if you do all that and later on decide you want to experiment to see if you can find a better position your pretty much out of luck. I’m also making a major assumption that the hardware they supply is all rated for 7 times the load. That is the standard for any dynamic loadi

Well, as luck would have it, I am building out (retrofitting) a frame for a large bass trap (2 ft thick x 8 ft tall x 8 ft wide)) at this position, so I am free to add whatever sort of bracing I want, as well as a large enough surface to screw into to accomodate different horizontal or vertical positioning. Basically, these monitors would be attached to the framing of the large bass trap.

As for positioning in general, I don't have a ton of flexibility as it is, due to space constraints. They can't come a whole lot forward or backward, so they generally were planned to sit up next to the bass trap anyway.

What's your opinion of that Neumann mounting system? Is it going to cause a bunch of issues with coupling? What about other competing wall mount systems? Or am I just inviting pain by even considering wall mount?

The potential coupling issues and acoustics are my two biggest concerns here, though I feel like the 2 foot thick large bass trap directly behind the monitors would largely take care of the acoustic concerns, which leaves me mostly worrying about coupling concerns.

Damn that look like one hell of a mount ! I expected a relabeled Omnimount ! Worst case you might want to add some DSP to solve some issues. Screw and glue the braces supporting the brackets and if you can screw some of those Hurricane T brackets and you should be fine.

I don't.  The KH310 doesn't resonate very much thanks to the heavy cabinet.  The small points of contact between the box and the bracket and the bracket to the arm look like they should reduce vibration transfer pretty well.

The drawing makes it look like the bracket adapter (LH47) might have rubber bushings or something, but I can't see them in the actual picture.

I doubt that they use much for isolation, the rubber would have to carry the load in all directions and that type of isolation device would be huge.

That's good to hear. Your confidence in this mounting system gives me confidence to give it a try. If this won't cause any coupling concerns, I may just have to pull the trigger on these Neumann mounts.

So I just came across these, which are actually made to work (via an additional adaptor) with the previously discussed Neumann mounts.

Basically, these decouplers go between the mounting arm and the monitor, much in the same way the more typical Isoacoustics pucks would go between the monitor and the stand. The big difference here, of course, is that the more traditional pucks that everyone knows about sit under the monitor where as, with the product I linked to above, the monitor is suspended by this decoupling device.

Eric have you (or anybody else) used one of these or do you have any thoughts? Are they worth it, or am I just wasting money on something like this?

Yep, these are all concerns I've had about this particular Isoacoustics product. I've been worried about the design and what "could" happen. Would Isoacoustics buy me a new monitor if their system failed and my monitors came crashing down to the floor. Also, how much benefit will something like the V120 actually provide? I don't know.

I believe that Isoacoustics says the V120 decoupler is rated for up to 40 lbs. The Neumann KH310 weighs 28.6 lbs, for whatever that's worth.

You're not giving me confidence in purchasing these. Hmmm...
