The one logical thing is to decouple the speakers from the stand itself.
Decouple speaker from floor.
I was under the impression that this is the best option but now i am getting confused.
However some give the impression that coupling the stands to the floor increases their effective mass and hence stops.
Or sometimes we are told that we need to couple our speakers to the floor with spikes.
Banging the floor with foot gives you a sense that furniture and fixture is going down.
I have the option of hanging fully decoupled ceiling via rim joist and joist hangers due to my current ceiling height.
Now there are spikes and all kinds of other things but i m going to propose something else.
I have installed padding and carpet to calm down the footfalls.
I m not sure if that is the right term.
So we need to address the vibrations to the floor first.
So we have this vibration which couples directly with the floor if you set it on the floor then obviously we have the pressure generated from the subwoofer itself.
Maybe you hate the way audio speaker stands look.
I want to decouple ceilings from the floor above.
Maybe you re scared your pets child will knock them down and damage your precious speakers.
If i am walking in one corner of apartment the vibration from steps can be felt in other corner.
Guess i ve probably come down on the side of those whose viewpoint is that we need to decouple the system from the floor.
Is this worse than hat channels.
You will have to keep in mind that audio coupling works both ways if your speaker is coupled to the floor it will transmit vibrations to the floor but the floor will also transfer.
So we decouple the subwoofer.
Or at least do it in a more valid and musically engaging manner whatever the descriptive term.
Or maybe you re going for a college chic aesthetic with everything from your mattress to your tv on the floor.
Hello i have recently moved to new apartment and now face a strange problem.
You may be wondering why you may wish to decouple your speaker if the attached material can become part of the speaker and help add to the sound emission.
The building is very old and wooden floor is too alive.
Whatever the reason plenty of people place their audio speakers on the floor.
