Isolate Speakers From Floor

Maybe you hate the way audio speaker stands look.

Isolate speakers from floor.

Auralex mopads can be used to isolate monitors placed on a desktop but heavy duty floor stands are best of all. A large mass under the speakers to which the speakers are spiked will stabilise the speakers and reduce movement of the cabinet caused by driver movement. So we put a structure underneath it. This elevates it let s say 12 inches off the floor.

Because we want to minimize the transmission of noise or vibration if you will to the floor itself. Here s why you might want to reconsider. If you then need to isolate the speaker mass system from the floor some very soft springing thin soft rubber foam or a type of air suspension under the mass. Looking for a cheap diy solution to isolate them from the floor thinking of sitting the speakers on a piece of slate and something rubbery underneath between that and the floor hopefully.

Or maybe you re going for a college chic aesthetic with everything from your mattress to your tv on the floor. We have to isolate from the floor with our speaker cabinet correct. I ve read a lot about floor standing speaker interaction with the floor and whether or not isolation or coupling might be the right approach depending on the type of floor e g concrete suspending wood floor etc. Whatever the reason plenty of people place their audio speakers on the floor.
