Audio T Verdict
The Flexson Wall Mount is a simple but useful way of giving the original Sonos Move a regular listening position without sacrificing the portability that makes the speaker so versatile.
Rather than taking up a shelf, worktop or sideboard, the Move can be positioned securely on a wall at a sensible listening height. When you want to take the speaker elsewhere, it can simply be lifted away from the mount.
Flexson constructs the bracket from high-grade steel and incorporates UV-resistant silicone rubber to help protect the Sonos Move where it contacts the mount. The bracket itself is suitable for indoor and outdoor installation, making it useful in spaces ranging from kitchens and living rooms to sheltered patios and garden areas.
That outdoor capability needs a little context. The Sonos Move is weather resistant rather than waterproof and Sonos recommends bringing it indoors rather than leaving it exposed outside permanently. The Flexson bracket can remain fitted outdoors, but the speaker itself is still intended to be portable.
Fixings are supplied for both brick or masonry and timber studwork, and the compact design occupies very little wall space when the speaker has been removed.
For Move owners who want a dedicated indoor or occasional outdoor position without committing the speaker permanently to that location, it is a neat and inexpensive solution.

- Speaker remains easy to mount and remove
- Compact low-profile design
- Fixings included for brick and masonry

Sonos Move Is Not Included
This product is the Flexson wall mount only.
The Sonos Move portable wireless speaker is purchased separately.
Free Up Shelves and Worktops
The Sonos Move is large enough that finding a permanent home for it can take up a useful amount of shelf, worktop or furniture space.
A dedicated wall mount allows the speaker to sit:
- Clear of furniture
- Above everyday clutter
- Away from children and pets
- At a more useful listening height
- In a repeatable position within the room
Still Fully Portable
The Move is not permanently fixed to the bracket.
Once the Flexson mount is installed, the speaker can be placed onto or lifted away from it as required.
This makes it particularly useful if the Move normally lives in one room but regularly travels:
- Into the garden
- Into another room
- Into the kitchen
- Into a home office
- Elsewhere using Bluetooth away from the home Wi-Fi network
Indoor or Outdoor Installation
Flexson specifically describes the wall mount itself as suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
This means it can be installed in areas such as:
- Living rooms
- Kitchens
- Bedrooms
- Home offices
- Garages
- Covered patios
- Sheltered outdoor seating areas
Outdoor Does Not Mean Permanent Outdoor Sonos Installation
The Flexson bracket is suitable for outdoor use, but Sonos describes Move as weather resistant rather than waterproof.
Sonos recommends bringing Move indoors rather than leaving it outside for long periods.
The speaker must not be submerged or exposed to pressurised water.
IP56 Sonos Move
The original Sonos Move carries an IP56 rating.
That means the speaker is designed to resist conditions including:
It is not waterproof and should not be treated like a permanently installed outdoor speaker.
Keep the Charging Base Indoors
Sonos specifies the Move charging base as an indoor accessory.
If the speaker has been used outside in wet conditions, make sure it is dry and the charging contacts are free from moisture and debris before returning it to its charging base.
High-Grade Steel Construction
Flexson manufactures the mount from high-grade steel to provide a secure support for the relatively substantial Sonos Move.
The bracket is intentionally simple, with no unnecessary arm or articulated mechanism between the speaker and wall.
UV-Resistant Silicone Protection
Silicone rubber is positioned where the speaker comes into contact with the bracket.
Flexson specifies this material as UV resistant, helping it remain suitable for installations where the bracket may receive natural daylight or occasional outdoor exposure.
The silicone also helps prevent the hard steel structure from directly marking the speaker finish.
Compact Fixed Wall Mount
The Flexson Move Wall Mount is designed as a compact fixed-position bracket rather than a large articulated speaker arm.
This keeps the installation discreet and minimises the amount of hardware visible when the Move is fitted.
Position the Speaker Before Drilling
Because the bracket itself is fixed to the wall, spend a little time choosing its location before drilling.
Consider:
- Listening position
- Speaker height
- Nearby walls and corners
- Access to the Move's controls and handle
- Whether the speaker needs to be removed regularly
- Outdoor exposure
- Wall construction
Speaker Height
There is no single compulsory mounting height for Sonos Move.
For general listening, position it so that:
- The speaker is not obstructed by furniture
- Sound has a clear path into the room
- The controls remain accessible
- The speaker can still be lifted safely from the mount
Automatic Trueplay
The original Sonos Move includes Automatic Trueplay tuning.
The speaker uses its microphones to adapt its tonal balance to its surroundings as its position changes.
Wall mounting does not eliminate the importance of placement, but Automatic Trueplay can compensate for some of the acoustic changes produced by a new position.
Wall and Corner Reinforcement
Moving a speaker close to room boundaries can increase perceived bass and lower-midrange energy.
If the Move sounds overly heavy when wall mounted, consider:
- Moving the bracket farther from a corner
- Choosing a different wall position
- Allowing Automatic Trueplay time to retune
- Making small EQ adjustments in the Sonos app if required
Brick and Masonry Fixings Included
Flexson supplies suitable installation hardware for brick and masonry walls.
The wall itself must still be structurally sound and appropriate for supporting the weight of the Sonos Move.
Wood and Studwork Fixings Included
Fixing hardware is also supplied for wood or suitable timber studwork.
Correct fixing depends on what is behind the finished wall surface, not simply what the wall looks like from the room.
Make Sure You Know What You Are Drilling Into
Before drilling, check for hidden electrical cables, plumbing and other services.
If you are uncertain about the wall construction or installation, use a competent installer.
Plasterboard Requires Care
Do not assume that a generic plasterboard fixing is automatically suitable simply because the bracket itself is compact.
The Sonos Move is a relatively heavy portable speaker.
Where possible, fix into suitable structural timber or use correctly rated hardware appropriate for the specific wall construction.
Quick Speaker Removal
One of the biggest advantages over a permanent loudspeaker bracket is that Move remains genuinely portable.
There are no speaker-terminal connections or locking mechanisms to undo every time you want to take it elsewhere.
Lift the Move away and take it with you.

Choose the Wall Mount When
- Floor space is limited
- You want the Move out of reach

Original Sonos Move Compatibility
Flexson officially lists this wall mount for:
Sonos Move.
The mount was developed around the dimensions and rear-handle arrangement of the original Move.
Sonos Move 2 Compatibility
Flexson's current product information does not officially list Sonos Move 2 as compatible with this wall mount.
Do not assume compatibility solely because the two Sonos generations are visually similar.
If you are purchasing specifically for Move 2, contact Audio T before ordering.
One Mount Per Speaker
This product contains one wall mount for one Sonos Move.
If you are mounting two speakers, two brackets are required.
Approximately 129mm High
Current Flexson regional product data gives approximate bracket dimensions of:
- Height: 129.29mm
- Width: 87.37mm
- Depth: 39.32mm
The bracket therefore remains visually discreet when the speaker is removed.
Approximately 0.10kg
The wall mount itself weighs approximately 0.10kg.
The important installation load, however, includes the much heavier Sonos Move sitting on the bracket, so fixings must always be selected with the complete installation in mind.
Black Finish
The bracket is finished in Black to blend discreetly with the original black Sonos Move and remain relatively unobtrusive when fitted to darker walls or outdoor structures.
Flexson Product Code
The commonly published manufacturer code for the black Move Wall Mount is:
FLXSMWM1021

Flexson describes the Move Wall Mount as designed and manufactured in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which speaker is this wall mount designed for?
The original Sonos Move.
Does it fit Sonos Move 2?
Flexson does not currently list Move 2 as officially compatible with this particular bracket. Contact Audio T before ordering specifically for Move 2.
Does the Sonos Move come with it?

Can I use the bracket indoors?
Yes.
Can I use the bracket outdoors?
Yes. Flexson specifies the bracket itself as suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
Can I leave Sonos Move outdoors permanently?
No. Sonos recommends bringing Move indoors because it is designed for portable outdoor listening rather than long-term outdoor exposure.
Is Sonos Move waterproof?
No. It carries an IP56 weather-resistance rating but must not be submerged or exposed to pressurised water.
Can the charging base stay outside?
No. Sonos specifies its Move charging base for indoor use.
Is the wall mount weather resistant?
Flexson specifies the mount for indoor or outdoor use and uses UV-resistant silicone where it contacts the speaker.
What is the bracket made from?
High-grade steel.
Why is silicone used?
UV-resistant silicone rubber helps protect the speaker where it comes into contact with the steel mount.
Can I easily remove the speaker?
Yes. Flexson specifically designed the mount so Move can be fitted and removed quickly.
Is the speaker locked permanently to the wall?
No. Portability is retained.
Can the bracket tilt?
It is designed as a compact fixed-position wall mount rather than an articulated tilt-and-swivel bracket.
Can it swivel?

Yes.
Are brick fixings included?
Yes. Flexson supplies hardware for brick and masonry installations.
Are fixings for wood included?
Yes. Hardware for wood and suitable studwork is also supplied.
Can I fit it to plasterboard?
The correct installation depends on the wall structure behind the plasterboard. Because Sonos Move is relatively heavy, use appropriately rated structural fixings or secure the bracket to suitable timber where possible.
Do I need a professional installer?
Not necessarily, but if you are unsure of wall construction, hidden services or fixing suitability, professional installation is sensible.
How high should I mount Sonos Move?
There is no compulsory height. Position it so the speaker is unobstructed, easy to remove and sensibly aligned with the listening area.
Does Automatic Trueplay still work when wall mounted?
Yes. The original Sonos Move continues to use its Automatic Trueplay system.

Placing any speaker close to a wall can reinforce parts of the bass and lower midrange. Automatic Trueplay and the Sonos app's EQ controls can help fine-tune the result.
