Wall Mounting the AV835 and AV855
The AV835 and AV855 were designed to sit on a flat surface like an entertainment center, table or shelf, so neither model has mounting points on the back. This means you can’t screw a wall mount directly into the speaker. They can still be wall mounted, though, as long as you use a mount that forms a small shelf for the speaker to sit on.
There are two types of products that work well for this: a soundbar wall mount bracket and a soundbar hanger bracket.
Soundbar Wall Mount Brackets
A soundbar wall mount bracket screws directly into the wall, usually just below your TV. For the AV835 or AV855, choose one that forms a small shelf the AccuVoice TV Speaker can sit on.
The advantage of this type is that you don’t need to take your TV down from the wall to install it, and it may give you a cleaner look. The downside is that you’ll need to drill a few more holes in the wall.
Soundbar Hanger Brackets
A soundbar hanger bracket attaches to the VESA mounting points on the back of your TV, the same points your TV uses to attach to its wall mount. The bracket hangs down below the TV and forms a small shelf at the bottom for the speaker to sit on.
The advantage of a hanger bracket is that you don’t have to drill any more holes in the wall, and if your TV’s mount tilts or swivels, the speaker moves right along with the TV. The biggest downside is that you will most likely need to take your TV down from the wall to install it.
What to Look For
Whichever type you choose, make sure the bracket checks these boxes:
- It forms a shelf. Since the AV835 and AV855 have no mounting points, the speaker has to sit on the bracket. Brackets that only bolt to the back or bottom of a soundbar are not compatible.
- The shelf is deep enough. Both models are 5 inches deep, so the shelf needs to fit a speaker at least that deep.
- It has a way to secure the speaker. Look for a clamping mechanism that tightens around the speaker. On adjustable shelves, close the shelf down so it clamps onto the speaker. If the bracket doesn’t have a clamping mechanism, a strong double sided tape between the shelf and the bottom of the speaker will keep it from sliding. The tape isn’t holding up the weight of the speaker, it just keeps it in place.
Tip: Make sure the top of the AV835 or AV855 isn’t completely behind the TV. The woofers are under the grille on the top of the speaker and they should be in front of the TV screen. If they can’t be completely in front, make sure at least half of the top grille is in front of the screen.

Please note: ZVOX Audio has not tested any of these brackets and is not affiliated with the manufacturers or sellers. Based on their listings they should work with the AV835 and AV855, but please read the listing details carefully before buying, and use them at your own risk. Make sure both your TV and your ZVOX are mounted securely before leaving them unattended, and check that your wall mount is rated for the combined weight. If you are unsure about any part of the installation, it’s best to hire a professional AV installer.
