Has anyone got any experience and suggestions of DIY methods of
isolating speakers from the floor? I'm looking to do it to reduce the
amount of noise transferred through the floor to downstairs, rather
than as a method of altering sound quality.
Makes little difference - the sound waves produced by the speaker will
still go through the floor.
Bah. I was of the impression that most speaker stands deliberately attempt
to couple the speaker to the floor to alter sound quality / quantity. My
first thought was to stick the speakers / stands on something heavy, and
stick the stack of speakers and heavy thing on a rubber mat, with the hope
that the weight of the heavy thing would absorb some of the energy.
P'raps I should get some of eggbox foam - some of the lads did survey work
in some anechoic chambers and apparently you could bearly hear each other
unless you were face to face.
