[0082] In this way, the coupler (13) may have the shape of a stud. However, in the present disclosure, the shape of the coupler (13) is not limited to that described above.

[0083] For example, the fourth surface (12d) of the speaker body (12) may include a plurality of bracket fastening holes (12h) (e.g., a pair of bracket fastening holes (12h)), and the speaker bracket (100) and the speaker body (12) may be coupled by a plurality of couplers (13) (e.g., a pair of couplers (13)) passing through the plurality of bracket fastening holes (12h). However, in the present disclosure, the number of couplers (13) and bracket fastening holes (12h) is not limited thereto.

[0084] By this configuration, the speaker bracket (100) can be coupled to the speaker body (12) and can support the speaker body (12).

[0085] The wall mount device (20) may include a holder (50) that is provided to be coupled to a wall (W). The holder (50) may be mounted on the wall (W). The holder (50) may be supported by the wall (W). The holder (50) may be fixed to the wall (W). For example, the holder (50) may be coupled to the wall (W) by a fastening member (F), such as a screw or nail. A worker who wishes to install the speaker device (10) on the wall (W) may, after making a hole in the wall (W), position the holder (50) at a position corresponding to a hole (Wh) of the wall (W), and then sequentially penetrate the holder (50) and the hole (Wh) with the fastening member (F), thereby coupling the holder (50) to the wall (W).

[0086] The holder (50) may be provided to support the speaker bracket (100). The speaker bracket (100) may be mounted on a wall (W) by being supported by the holder (50). The speaker bracket (100) may be mounted on the holder (50). The speaker bracket (100) may be detachably mounted on the holder (50).

[0087] For example, the holder (50) may be arranged to support a mounting plate (110). The mounting plate (110) may be mounted to the holder (50), thereby allowing it to be mounted to a wall (W).

[0088] The mounting plate (110) may include a bracket hole (111). The bracket hole (111) may be penetrated by a holder (50). The bracket hole (111) may be supported by the holder (50) by being penetrated by the holder (50).

[0089] The bracket hole (111) may have a shape that penetrates the mounting plate (110) in the front-back direction (X). The bracket hole (111) may have a shape that penetrates from one side of the mounting plate (110) facing the third side (12c) of the speaker body (12) to the other side opposite thereto. The bracket hole (111) may be penetrated in the front-back direction (X) by the holder (50).

[0090] For example, the bracket hole (111) can be formed in the cover portion (112) described later of the mounting plate (110).

[0091] When the speaker bracket (100) is mounted on the wall (W), that is, when the mounting plate (110) is mounted on the holder (50) coupled to the wall (W), the bracket hole (111) may face the wall (W). The distance between the bracket hole (111) and the wall (W) may vary depending on the thickness of the holder (50) in the front-back direction (X). For example, the bracket hole (111) and the wall (W) may be spaced apart by the thickness of the second hanging portion (53) of the holder (50) described later in the front-back direction (X).

[0092] When the speaker bracket (100) is coupled to the speaker body (12), the bracket hole (111) may face the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12). The bracket hole (111) may be spaced apart from the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12). The bracket hole (111) and the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12) may be spaced apart by a thickness in the front-back direction (X) of the bracket rib (113) described later. Alternatively, the bracket hole (111) and the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12) may be spaced apart by a distance greater than a thickness in the front-back direction (X) of the first hanging portion (52) of the holder (50) described later.

[0093] When the speaker body (12) is mounted on a wall (W), the bracket hole (111) can be placed between the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12) and the wall (W).

[0094] FIG. 6 is a drawing illustrating a state in which a speaker bracket of a wall-mountable speaker device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is mounted on a holder. FIG. 7 is a drawing illustrating a state in which a speaker bracket of a wall-mountable speaker device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is mounted on a holder. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a speaker bracket of a wall-mountable speaker device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is mounted on a holder. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a wall-mountable speaker device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is mounted on a wall. FIG. 10 is a drawing illustrating a state in which a speaker bracket of a wall-mountable speaker device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is mounted on a holder in the opposite direction.

[0095] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 10, a bracket hole (111) of a speaker bracket (100) included in a wall-mountable speaker device (1) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may extend in a vertical direction (Z). In a state where the bracket hole (111) is penetrated by a holder (50), the speaker bracket (100) may be movable in a vertical direction (Z) with respect to a wall (W) and / or the holder (50).

[0096] The bracket hole (111) may include a first end (111a) and a second end (111b) opposite to the first end (111b), and may extend between the first end (111a) and the second end (111b). The bracket hole (111) may extend in the vertical direction (Z) between the first end (111a) and the second end (111b). The first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) may be arranged at the lower end (110b) of the mounting plate (110) in the vertical direction (Z). The first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) may be the lower end of the bracket hole (111). The first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) may be connected to the support plate (120). The second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111) may be positioned adjacent to the upper end (110a) in the vertical direction (Z) of the mounting plate (110). The second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111) may be the upper end of the bracket hole (111). The bracket hole (111) may extend upward from the first end (111a) toward the second end (111b).

[0097] The first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) may be arranged adjacent to the fourth surface (12d) of the speaker body (12). The second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111) may be arranged adjacent to the second surface (12b) of the speaker body (12).

[0098] The bracket hole (111) may have a shape that is open at the bottom. The first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) is arranged at the lower end (110b) of the mounting plate (110) and may be open at the bottom. The first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) may be provided so that the holder (50) can be inserted into the bracket hole (111) or removed from the bracket hole (111). In other words, the holder (50) may be inserted into the bracket hole (111) through the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) or may be removed from the bracket hole (111). For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 8, as the speaker bracket (100) moves downward relative to the holder (50), the holder (50) can be inserted into the bracket hole (111) through the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111). In a state where the holder (50) is inserted into the bracket hole (111), the bracket hole (111) can be penetrated by the holder (50), as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 9. Conversely, as the speaker bracket (100) moves upward relative to the holder (50), the holder (50) can be removed from the bracket hole (111) through the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111).

[0099] The bracket hole (111) may have a shape in which the upper side is closed. The second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111) may be formed to be closed at the upper side. The second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111) may be provided so that the mounting plate (110) is supported by the holder (50) when the holder (50) comes into contact with the second end (111b). Specifically, the holder (50) may support the mounting plate (110) by coming into contact with the second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111) from below. As illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 9, when the holder (50) comes into contact with the second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111), the mounting plate (110) may be supported by the holder (50), and the speaker bracket (100) may be mounted on a wall (W).

[0100] In this way, the speaker bracket (100) according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has a structure in which the lower end of the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) is open so that the holder (50) can be inserted into or removed from the bracket hole (111) through the first end (111a), and the mounting plate (110) can be supported as the holder (50) contacts the second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111) from below, so that the speaker bracket (100) can be mounted to the holder (50) in only one direction. In other words, the speaker bracket (100) can be mounted to the holder (50) only in a state in which the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) is positioned so that the second end (111b) is positioned so that the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) faces downward and the second end (111b) faces upward.

[0101] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 9, when the speaker bracket (100) moves downward relative to the holder (50) coupled to the wall (W) while the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) is positioned so that the second end (111b) faces upward, the holder (50) can be inserted into the bracket hole (111) through the first end (111a). When the speaker bracket (100) continues to move downward while the holder (50) is inserted into the bracket hole (111), the holder (50) can come into contact with the second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111), and the speaker bracket (100) can be supported by the holder (50). As a result, the speaker bracket (100) can be mounted on the wall (W).

[0102] In comparison, as illustrated in FIG. 10, when the speaker bracket (100) moves downward relative to the holder (50) coupled to the wall (W) while the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) is positioned so that the second end (111b) faces downward, the holder (50) may not be able to support the mounting plate (110) even if it is inserted into the bracket hole (111) through the first end (111a). As a result, the speaker bracket (100) cannot be mounted on the holder (50), and the worker can easily recognize that the speaker bracket (100) is being installed on the wall (W) in a direction different from the designed direction.

[0103] As described above, the wall-mountable speaker device (1) can be designed to emit sound forward through the first speaker unit (11a), upward through the second speaker unit (11b), and between the forward and upward through the third speaker unit (11c) when installed on a wall (W). However, if it is assumed that the wall-mountable speaker device (1) can be installed on the wall (W) in a direction different from the designed direction, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a problem may arise in which sound from the second speaker unit (11b) is emitted downward and sound from the third speaker unit (11c) is emitted between the forward and downward, contrary to the designed intention. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the wall-mountable speaker device (1) can be mounted on the wall (W) only in a pre-designed direction due to the structure of the bracket hole (111). In this way, multiple speaker units (11) can emit sound in the designed direction, and a rich acoustic experience can be provided to the user.

[0104] Below, the configurations of the speaker bracket (100), including the bracket hole (111), and the holder (50) on which it is mounted are described in more detail.

[0105] The holder (50) may include an insertion portion (51) provided to be inserted into a bracket hole (111) and a catch portion (52, 53) provided to catch the mounting plate (110) when the insertion portion (51) is inserted into the bracket hole (111). When the speaker bracket (100) is mounted on the holder (50), the insertion portion (51) may be positioned within the bracket hole (111). The width of the insertion portion (51) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y) or diameter) may be approximately the same as or smaller than the width of the bracket hole (111) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)). The width of the catch portions (52, 53) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y) or diameter) may be larger than the width of the bracket hole (111) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)). That is, the width (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y) or diameter) of the catch (52, 53) may be greater than the width (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y) or diameter) of the insertion portion (51).

[0106] For example, the catches (52, 53) may include a first catch (52). The first catch (52) may be provided to restrict the mounting plate (110) from moving forward and being detached from the holder (50). The first catch (52) may be in contact with the front surface of the mounting plate (110) facing the speaker body (12). For example, the first catch (52) may be in contact with the front surface of the cover portion (112) described below facing the speaker body (12).

[0107] For example, the catches (52, 53) may include a second catch (53). The second catch (53) may be provided to restrict the mounting plate (110) from moving rearward relative to the holder (50). The second catch (53) may be in contact with a rear surface facing the wall (W) of the mounting plate (110). For example, the second catch (53) may be in contact with a rear surface facing the wall (W) of a cover portion (112) described below.

[0108] The insertion portion (51) can be placed between the first catch portion (52) and the second catch portion (53).

[0109] For example, the holder (50) including the insertion portion (51), the first catch portion (52) and the second catch portion (53) may be formed as a whole, but is not limited thereto.

[0110] For example, the holder (50) may include, but is not limited to, a metal material.

[0111] By the shape of the holder (50) as described above, the holder (50) can move smoothly with respect to the bracket hole (111), and the speaker bracket (100) can be stably supported by the holder (50) while the holder (50) penetrates the bracket hole (111). However, the shape of the holder (50) according to the present disclosure is not limited to that described above. For example, the holder (50) may include a first catch portion (52) and an insertion portion (51), and may not include a second catch portion (53).

[0112] The width of the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)) may be greater than the width of the second end (111b) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)). For example, the width of the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)) may be greater than or at least approximately equal to the width (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y) or diameter) of each of the insertion portion (51) and the catch portions (52, 53). As a result, the holder (50) can more easily pass through the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111). For example, the width (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)) of the second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111) may be greater than or at least approximately equal to the width (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y) or diameter) of the insertion portion (51) and may be smaller than the width (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y) or diameter) of the catch portion (52, 53). As a result, when the holder (50) supports the second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111), the speaker bracket (100) can be effectively prevented from being detached from the holder (50).

[0113] The bracket hole (111) may include a first portion (111c) extending from the first end (111a) and a second portion (111d) extending from the first portion (111c) to the second end (111b). The first portion (111c) of the bracket hole (111) may have a width (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)) greater than that of the second portion (111d). For example, the first portion (111c) of the bracket hole (111) may have a width greater than or equal to the width (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y) or diameter) of the catch portion (52, 53). The second portion (111d) of the bracket hole (111) may have a width smaller than the width (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y) or diameter) of the catch portion (52, 53) and larger than or at least equal to the width (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y) or diameter) of the insertion portion (51).

[0114] For example, the length of the second part (111d) in the vertical direction (Z) may be longer than the length of the first part (111c) of the bracket hole (111) in the vertical direction (Z).

[0115] The support plate (120) may include a support plate hole (121) connected to a bracket hole (111). The support plate hole (121) may be connected to a first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111). The support plate hole (121) may extend from the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111). For example, the direction in which the support plate hole (121) extends from the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) and the direction in which the support plate (120) extends from the lower end (110b) of the mounting plate (110) may be parallel to each other. For example, the support plate hole (121) may extend forward from the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111).

[0116] The width of the support plate hole (121) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)) may be greater than or at least approximately equal to the width (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y) or diameter) of each of the insertion portion (51) and the catch portions (52, 53). For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 , the width of the support plate hole (121) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)) may be approximately equal to the width of the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)). Alternatively, in one embodiment, the width of the support plate hole (121) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)) may be greater than the width of the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) (e.g., width in the horizontal direction (Y)).

[0117] The length of the support plate hole (121) in the front-back direction (X) may be greater than or equal to the length in the front-back direction (X) between the insertion portion (51) of the holder (50) and the front end of the first catch portion (52). In other words, the length of the support plate hole (121) extending forward from the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111) may be greater than or equal to the length from the insertion portion (51) of the holder (50) to the front end of the first catch portion (52).

[0118] In this way, the holder (50) can easily pass through the support plate hole (121) and be introduced into or removed from the bracket hole (111).

[0119] By this structure, the holder (50) can be more easily inserted into or removed from the bracket hole (111) through the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111), and the wall-mountable speaker device (1) can be more effectively prevented from being mounted in a direction different from the designed direction with respect to the wall (W). In addition, by this structure, when the holder (50) penetrates the bracket hole (111), the speaker bracket (100) can be stably supported by the holder (50).

[0120] However, the configuration of the present disclosure is not limited to what has been described above. Unlike the embodiment described above, the support plate (120) may not have a support plate hole (121) extending from the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111).

[0121] In the above, referring to FIGS. 6 to 10, the speaker bracket (100) has been described as an embodiment configured to support the third side (12c) and the fourth side (12d) of the speaker body (12). However, in various embodiments, the speaker bracket (100) may not support the fourth side (12d) of the speaker body (12). That is, in various embodiments of the present disclosure, the speaker bracket (100) may not include a support plate (120), in which case the speaker body (12) may be supported and coupled to the mounting plate (110).

[0122] FIG. 11 is a drawing illustrating a cable and a speaker bracket connected to a speaker body of a wall-mountable speaker device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0123] Referring to FIG. 11, a wall-mountable speaker device (1) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may be connected to a cable (C). The cable (C) may be configured to connect the wall-mountable speaker device (1) to various external devices, such as a display device (2) and a power supply. For example, the cable (C) may include various types of cables, such as an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable and a power supply cable.

[0124] A cable (C) can be connected to a speaker body (12). One or more cable terminals (12f) can be provided on the speaker body (12), and the cable terminals (12f) can be configured to allow the cable (C) to be connected. The cable (C) can be electrically connected to various electronic components accommodated inside the speaker body (12) through the cable terminals (12f). The cable terminals (12f) can be provided in various ways to correspond to the type of cable (C). For example, the cable terminals (12f) can include an HDMI terminal, a power terminal, etc.

[0125] In this case, when a cable (C) is connected to a wall-mountable speaker device (1), it is important to efficiently place the cable (C) in an appropriate location to prevent damage to the cable (C) and to prevent it from spoiling the appearance.

[0126] The speaker body (12) may include a cable recess (12e) provided to receive a portion of a cable (C) connected to the speaker body (12). The cable recess (12e) may have a shape in which a portion of a third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12) is sunken. For example, one or more cable terminals (12f) may be provided in the cable recess (12e). The speaker body (12) may be formed with one or more cable recesses (12e) corresponding to the number of cable terminals (12f). For example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, a pair of cable recesses (12e) may be provided in the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12), and a plurality of cables (C) may be connected to cable terminals (12f) provided in each of the pair of cable recesses (12e).

[0127] For example, the speaker bracket (100) may be placed between a pair of cable recesses (12e). For example, the speaker bracket (100) may be placed between a pair of cable terminals (12f).

[0128] A space may be formed between the speaker bracket (100) and the speaker body (12) to accommodate a portion of the cable (C). Specifically, a space may be formed between the mounting plate (110) and the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12) to accommodate a portion of the cable (C).

[0129] The mounting plate (110) may include a cover portion (112). The cover portion (112) may be provided to cover the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12) when the speaker bracket (100) is coupled to the speaker body (12). The cover portion (112) may cover the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12) at a position spaced apart from the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12) when the speaker bracket (100) is coupled to the speaker body (12).

[0130] For example, the cover portion (112) may have a roughly flat plate shape.

[0131] The aforementioned bracket hole (111) may be formed in the cover portion (112). For example, the bracket hole (111) may extend upward from the lower end of the cover portion (112).

[0132] The aforementioned support plate (120) may extend from the cover portion (112). For example, the support plate (120) may extend forward from the lower end of the cover portion (112).

[0133] The mounting plate (110) may include a bracket rib (113) that protrudes from the cover portion (112) toward the third side (12c) of the speaker body (12). The bracket rib (113) may protrude forward from the cover portion (112). By the bracket rib (113), the cover portion (112) and the speaker body (12) may be maintained in a spaced-apart state. The spaced distance between the cover portion (112) and the third side (12c) of the speaker body (12) may be at least a length longer than the length by which the bracket rib (113) protrudes forward from the cover portion (112).

[0134] In this way, a space can be formed between the cover part (112) and the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12), and a part of the cable (C) can be arranged to pass through the space.

[0135] The distance between the cover portion (112) and the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12) can be appropriately designed to be at least as long as the thickness of the cable (C). The length of the bracket rib (113) protruding from the cover portion (112) can be appropriately designed to be at least as long as the thickness of the cable (C).

[0136] The bracket rib (113) may be provided to guide the placement of a cable (C) connected to the speaker body (12). The bracket rib (113) may be provided to support the cable (C) connected to the speaker body (12).

[0137] According to one embodiment, the bracket rib (113) may be provided on the edge of the cover portion (112). The bracket rib (113) may extend from at least a portion of the edge of the cover portion (112) toward the third surface (12c) of the speaker body (12). For example, the bracket rib (113) may include a plurality of bracket ribs (113), and a plurality of bracket ribs (113) may be provided on each of an edge positioned on one side of the cover portion (112) in the horizontal direction (Y) and an edge positioned on the other side in the horizontal direction (Y).

[0138] According to one embodiment, the speaker bracket (100) may include a plurality of cover parts (112). The plurality of cover parts (112) may be spaced apart from each other. The plurality of cover parts (112) may be arranged parallel to each other in the horizontal direction (Y). A bracket rib (113) may be provided for each of the plurality of cover parts (112). A cable (C) connected to the speaker body (12) may be arranged within a space formed by each of the plurality of cover parts (112) and may be supported by a bracket rib (113) provided for each of the plurality of cover parts (112). Some of the cables (C) connected to the speaker body (12) may be guided by a bracket rib (113) located between the plurality of cover parts (112).

[0139] According to the embodiment of FIG. 11, the mounting plate (110) may include a pair of cover parts (112) spaced apart from each other. Each of the pair of cover parts (112) may have a pair of bracket ribs (113) protruding from its edge.

[0140] According to one embodiment, the cover portion (112) and the bracket rib (113) may be formed integrally. For example, the bracket rib (113) may be formed by a process of press-working a portion of the edge side of the cover portion (112).

[0141] The speaker bracket (100) may be formed integrally as an entire structure including a cover portion (112), a bracket rib (113), and a support plate (120). For example, a plurality of cover portions (112) may each be connected to a support plate (120), thereby allowing the speaker bracket (100) to be formed integrally as an entire structure. For example, the speaker bracket (100) may be formed by bending the cover portion (112), the support plate (120), and the bracket rib (113) relative to each other through press processing.

[0142] However, the configuration of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and in various embodiments, the speaker bracket (100) may include a plurality of separate or separable configurations.

[0143] For example, the speaker bracket (100) may include a metal material such as a steel alloy, but the material is not limited thereto.

[0144] FIG. 12 is a drawing illustrating a speaker body of a wall-mountable speaker device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure positioned at a first position far from a wall. FIG. 13 is a drawing illustrating a speaker body of a wall-mountable speaker device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure positioned at a first position close to a wall.

[0145] Referring to FIGS. 12 and 13, a speaker device (10) included in a wall-mountable speaker device (1) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may be provided to be movable relative to a wall-mount device (20). The speaker body (12) may be provided to be movable relative to the speaker bracket (100) while being coupled to the speaker bracket (100).

[0146] In a state where the speaker body (12) is mounted on a wall (W) by a wall mount device (20), the speaker body (12) can be positioned at a first position (P1) away from the wall (W) (see FIG. 12). For example, the speaker body (12) can be positioned away from the mounting plate (110) at the first position (P1). For example, the speaker body (12) can be spaced apart from the mounting plate (110) at the first position (P1).

[0147] In a state where the speaker body (12) is mounted on the wall (W) by the wall mount device (20), the speaker body (12) can be positioned at a second position (P2) close to the wall (W) (see FIG. 13). For example, the speaker body (12) can be positioned close to the mounting plate (110) at the second position (P2). For example, the speaker body (12) can contact the mounting plate (110) at the second position (P2). For example, the speaker body (12) can contact the bracket rib (113) at the second position (P2) and be spaced apart from the cover portion (112).

[0148] The speaker body (12) may be provided to be movable between a first position (P1) and a second position (P2) with respect to the speaker bracket (100). The speaker bracket (100) may include a rail (123) provided to guide the movement of the speaker body (12). The rail (123) may be provided to guide the movement of the speaker body (12) toward or away from the wall (W).

[0149] The rail (123) may be extended in the forward-backward direction (X) so that the speaker body (12) can move in the forward-backward direction (X) along the rail (123). The rail (123) may include a first end (123a) provided at one end on the front side and a second end (123b) provided at the other end on the rear side. The rail (123) may be extended between the first end (123a) and the second end (123b).

[0150] According to one embodiment, the rail (123) may be disposed on the support plate (120). The support plate (120) may include the rail (123). The rail (123) may be positioned below the fourth surface (12d) of the speaker body (12).

[0151] For example, the rail (123) may have a shape in which a portion of the support plate (120) penetrates.

[0152] As described above, the rail (123) may be penetrated by a coupler (13) that couples the support plate (120) and the speaker body (12). The coupler (13) may be provided to be movable along the rail (123). The coupler (13) may be movable along the rail (123) between a first end (123a) and a second end (123b) of the rail (123). When the coupler (13) is positioned at the first end (123a) of the rail (123), the speaker body (12) may be positioned at a first position (P1). When the coupler (13) is positioned at the second end (123b) of the rail (123), the speaker body (12) may be positioned at a second position (P2).

[0153] In this way, the speaker bracket (100) can movably support the speaker body (12) by including the rail (123). When the speaker body (12) is positioned at the first position (P1), the distance between the speaker body (12) and the wall (W) and the distance between the speaker body (12) and the mounting plate (110) are long, so that the worker can more easily place the cable (C). When the speaker body (12) is positioned at the second position (P2), the distance between the speaker body (12) and the wall (W) and the distance between the speaker body (12) and the mounting plate (110) can become very short, so that the degree to which the wall-mountable speaker device (1) protrudes from the wall (W) can be reduced, and the appearance quality can be improved.

[0154] In various embodiments, the rail provided on the speaker bracket (100) may have various shapes. For example, the speaker bracket (100) may include a rail having a shape that protrudes upward from the upper surface of the support plate (120) or a shape that recesses downward from the upper surface of the support plate (120), and the speaker body (12) may have a structure corresponding to the rail having such a shape so that movement may be guided by the rail.

[0155] According to one embodiment, the support plate (120) may include a cable penetration portion (122) formed so that a cable (C) may pass therethrough. For example, the cable penetration portion (122) may be formed so that a portion of the cable (C) guided downwardly between a pair of cover portions (112) may pass therethrough. The cable penetration portion (122) may have a sufficiently large area to reduce and / or prevent interference of the cable (C) with the support plate (120) when the speaker body (12) moves between the first position (P1) and the second position (P2).

[0156] FIG. 14 is a drawing illustrating a state in which a speaker bracket is attached to a speaker body and a cable is arranged in a wall-mountable speaker device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 15 is a drawing illustrating a state in which a speaker body is moved to a second position along a rail in a wall-mountable speaker device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 16 is a drawing illustrating a state in which a speaker bracket is mounted to a holder while the speaker body is positioned in the second position in a wall-mountable speaker device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0157] Referring to FIGS. 14 to 16, an example of a process for installing a wall-mountable speaker device (1) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure on a wall (W) is described.

[0158] Referring to Fig. 14, the speaker device (10) can be coupled to the speaker bracket (100) by fastening the speaker body (12) and the support plate (120) by the coupler (13). The coupler (13) can penetrate the rail (123) and the fourth surface (12d) of the speaker body (12) so that the speaker body (12) and the support plate (120) can fasten the coupler (13). After the speaker device (10) and the speaker bracket (100) are coupled, a process of arranging a cable (C) connected to the speaker body (12) between the speaker bracket (100) and the speaker body (12) can be performed.

[0159] Referring to FIG. 15, the speaker device (10) can be pressed against the mounting plate (110) of the speaker bracket (100). The speaker body (12) can move from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2) with respect to the speaker bracket (100). The speaker body (12) can move with respect to the speaker bracket (100) along a rail (123).

[0160] In this way, with the speaker body (12) positioned at the second position (P2) with respect to the speaker bracket (100), a process of mounting the speaker bracket (100) to the holder (50) coupled to the wall (W) can be performed. When the speaker bracket (100) is moved downward with respect to the holder (50), the holder (50) can be inserted into the bracket hole (111) through the first end (111a) of the bracket hole (111), and when the holder (50) reaches the second end (111b) of the bracket hole (111), the speaker bracket (100) can be supported by the holder (50). The mounting plate (110) can be engaged with the holder (50) that has passed through the bracket hole (111), and thereby the speaker bracket (100) and the speaker body (12) can be fixed to the holder (50).

[0161] Through these processes, the wall-mountable speaker device (1) can be installed on a wall (W).

[0162] FIG. 17 is a drawing illustrating a state in which a speaker bracket is mounted on a holder in a state in which the speaker body is positioned at a first position in a wall-mountable speaker device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 18 is a drawing illustrating a state in which a speaker body is moved along a rail to a second position in a state in which the speaker bracket is mounted on the holder in a wall-mountable speaker device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0163] Referring to FIGS. 17 and 18, an example of a process for installing a wall-mountable speaker device (1) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure on a wall (W) is described.

[0164] Referring to Fig. 17, the speaker body (12) can be coupled to the speaker bracket (100) by a coupler (13). Before the speaker bracket (100) is mounted on the holder (50), the speaker body (12) can be positioned at a first position (P1) with respect to the speaker bracket (100). With the speaker body (12) positioned at the first position (P1) with respect to the speaker bracket (100), a process of mounting the speaker bracket (100) on the holder (50) coupled to the wall (W) can be performed.

[0165] While the speaker bracket (100) is mounted on the holder (50), a process of arranging the cable (C) between the speaker bracket (100) and the speaker body (12) can be performed. In this case, the distance between the speaker body (12) and the wall (W) and the distance between the speaker body (12) and the mounting plate (110) can be sufficiently secured, so that the process of arranging the cable (C) can be performed more easily. In addition, since the cable (C) is arranged while the speaker device (10) is installed on the wall (W), the efficiency and accuracy of the cable (C) arrangement can be improved.

[0166] After completing the arrangement of the cable (C) with the speaker bracket (100) mounted on the holder (50) in this manner, a process of moving the speaker body (12) from the first position (P1) to the second position (P2) along the rail (123) can be performed as shown in FIG. 18.

[0167] Through these processes, the wall-mountable speaker device (1) can be installed on a wall (W).
