What do common TV, soundbar and console setups cost?
The posted Pixl prices combine in a simple way: TV labour by size, a mount, $50 to install a soundbar and $50 to mount it, $25 for each extra device behind the TV, and extras such as a shelf ($40) and taking down an old TV ($45). Here are six setups, labour only. The TV, soundbar and devices are bought separately.
| Setup | How it adds up | Total |
|---|---|---|
| A. 55 in. TV on a tilt mount, soundbar, one streaming box | $99.99 + $80 + $100 + $25 | $304.99 |
| B. 65 in. TV on a tilt mount, soundbar, console and streaming box | $109.99 + $80 + $100 + $25 + $25 | $339.99 |
| C. Same as B with the wires in a raceway | $109.99 + $80 + $100 + $25 + $25 + $60 | $399.99 |
| D. 65 in. TV above a fireplace, soundbar, two devices, wires inside the wall | $109.99 + $80 + $20 + $100 + $25 + $25 + $99.50 | $459.49 |
| E. 75 in. TV on full-motion, soundbar, three devices, wires inside the wall | $109.99 + $125 + $100 + $25 + $25 + $25 + $99.50 | $509.49 |
| F. 85 in. TV on full-motion replacing an old TV, soundbar, two devices, shelf for the console | $149.99 + $125 + $45 + $100 + $25 + $25 + $40 | $509.99 |
These are Calgary and Edmonton TV labour rates, so check TV mounting prices by city for your city. Hard walls add: plaster +$10, metal studs +$15, concrete, tile or stone +$50, brick +$80. Bring your own mount and remove the mount line. For the soundbar lines alone, see soundbar installation.
Which HDMI port does each device use?
| Port or device | Plug in | Why |
|---|---|---|
| TV port marked ARC or eARC | Soundbar | One cable returns sound to the bar, and the TV remote controls volume |
| TV port that supports 4K at 120 Hz (HDMI 2.1) | Game console | Needed for the highest frame rates and variable refresh rate. Only some TVs make every port HDMI 2.1 |
| Any other HDMI port | Streaming box, cable box | These do not need the fastest port |
| Spare port | Keep one free | A later console, disc player or PC |
The soundbar takes the eARC port because that is the one that carries sound back to the bar. See what is HDMI ARC and eARC for cables and fixes. A streaming box is covered in how to set up a Fire TV or Roku stick.
What should you check for a console?
| Setting | What it does | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| Game mode | Cuts picture processing so button presses show sooner | Picture settings, or switches on by itself with the console |
| Auto low latency mode (ALLM) | Lets the console switch the TV into game mode | An HDMI 2.1 feature. Check your TV manual |
| Variable refresh rate (VRR) | Matches the TV to the console’s frame rate | An HDMI 2.1 feature, on the port the console uses |
| Soundbar passthrough | Sends game audio to the bar | TV audio output set to ARC or eARC |
Features differ by TV, so use the TV’s manual to confirm which ports and modes it supports.
How many cables end up behind the TV?
Each device brings a power cord and an HDMI cable, and so does the soundbar. The TV adds its own power cord. That is why a busy setup needs more than a single clip.
| Devices behind the TV | Cables | Wire-hiding option that usually suits |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | Existing channel $25 or raceway $60 |
| 2 | 7 | Existing channel $25 or raceway $60 |
| 3 | 9 | Existing channel $25 or raceway $60 |
| 4 | 11 | Raceway $60 or inside the wall $99.50 |
Raceways sit on the wall surface and hold several cables. If you cannot open the wall, as in a condo, a raceway is the usual answer. See how to hide TV wires without cutting the wall.
What happens in one visit?
- Mount the TV. Find the studs, set the height with you, hang and level the TV.
- Install the soundbar. Mount it below the TV if you chose the bracket, then connect it to the eARC port.
- Connect the devices. Console, streaming box and cable box go on their ports. $25 per device behind the TV.
- Hide the wires. In a channel, a raceway or inside the wall, as you chose.
- Test and pay. We test sound and picture with your content, and you pay after the job.
A TV with a soundbar usually takes 2 to 3 hours, and ask us for a time for your setup when you book.

Sources and method. Totals are sums of Pixl Canada’s posted prices, checked October 27, 2026, with Calgary and Edmonton TV labour: setup B = 109.99 + 80 + 50 + 50 + 25 + 25 = 339.99. Cable count = 1 (TV power) + 2 x (devices + 1 for the soundbar). The HDMI notes are general: ARC and eARC carry sound back to the soundbar, and HDMI 2.1 supports 4K at 120 Hz, but which ports qualify differs by TV, so check the manual. The 2 to 3 hours for a TV and soundbar is the estimate on the Pixl home theatre cost page.
