Isolate Speakers From Floor

So we put a structure underneath it.

Isolate speakers from floor.

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. 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. Maybe you hate the way audio speaker stands look. Maybe you re scared your pets child will knock them down and damage your precious speakers.

Or maybe you re going for a college chic aesthetic with everything from your mattress to your tv on the floor. And if we make this a diaphragmatic absorber we also can locate pressure. We have to isolate from the floor with our speaker cabinet correct. Auralex mopads can be used to isolate monitors placed on a desktop but heavy duty floor stands are best of all.

Here s why you might want to reconsider. 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. This elevates it let s say 12 inches off the floor. However far better results can be obtained by removing the speakers away from the table top completely and mounting them properly on solid heavy stands placed directly on the floor.
