Description
Add OEM speakers intended for monitors using that strange mount into any monitor with a flat back.
I believe the receiving end comes standard in many Dell/HP monitors intended for Office use. And while the speakers intended for them are not that great, they are far better than any built-in monitor speakers and can also be found used on eBay for around $15.
I used CA glue to attach the 3D print to the monitor; I've realized no amount of 3M double sided tape holds these kinds of mounts in place for a long time due to the weight involved.
I went the extra mile and embedded the power supply for the speakers inside the monitor to remove some clutter (do this at your own risk). Some monitors come with built-in audio output as well, which helps with cable management, as audio will travel to the monitor using HDMI/DisplayPort, then out to the speakers.
Some speaker models that are compatible: UH852, DW711, AX510, AS501, AS500
