Default Isolating speakers from the floor


"Ian the copycat"

You can't do much about it. Using stands will do no good. If it is bass
that can be heard you just need to turn it down. It is the sound that can
be heard and not from the actual case itself.


** So " Ian " just read my replies and copied them.

Wot a boring little turd.

Mount them on bookshelves.

Let me guess. Downstairs doesn't like the bass ?

An alternative approach might be to measure the spectrum of the sounds and
use notch filters to reduce the levels at the main LF resonances. That
might reduce the level of sound leakage - and improve the sound in the
room.

Otherwise... headphones, or turn down the volume. :-)

Slainte,

Jim

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.
