Bare concrete is porous and can result in “flabby” bass response. Expoxy coated concrete works much better. I’ve used both with 3 way floor standers. Good shelves/footers also help tighten up the bass. Jeff
Effects of concrete as base for subs, speakers and potentially equipment
Hello,
I am looking for any advice and experience from those that have used concrete as stands, racks, isolation. I have a friend who makes functional art pieces from concrete, coloured and designed to your liking and I was thinking of having some pieces made up for my equipment. I currently have everything on wood, but would like something more pleasing on the eye. My room is well dampened with wood floors. I am after any experience that you might have experimenting with concrete.
subwoofer on concrete slab. Currently have a T9x with a downward throwing passive radiator on a suspended wooden floor. It needs removing from the floor and I was looking at concrete slabs.
speakers on concrete slabs. Zu union 6 supreme again on suspension floor. They have isolation feet but they could do with lifting higher. I am considering using concrete for this.
finally the equipment. Amp, dac, streamer. Currently on a cheap wooden cupboard with chopping boards underneath. Any experience of electronics on concrete.
