| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? Hi Peacefrog,Placing an audio system on a suspended wood floor does pose a number of challanges. Conversely, an audio system placed on a concrete slab also has its own set of challanges and is not neccessarilly "better" than the wood floor if the ... | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? Hi Sean,I certainly apologize to you and anyone else who may have an issue with my post. My initial queery about whether manufacturers are able to post or reply was done in an up front and self-disclosing manner. My post above about vibration damp... | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? Hi Peacefrog,Thank you for your question.I would expect that we all agree that vibration alters the signal and that has an audible effect on the performance of a component. If we are attempting to reproduce the information that is contained in the... | |
| Replacing sound proofing in cabniets Hi Sean,I generally agree with your post. The reality for a designer of a commercial speaker is that they are always walking a tightrope and doing a balancing act. No matter what the price point of a speaker (even the relatively new breed of extre... | |

| Purpose of triangular placement of cones/spikes? Hi Subaruguru,My point (!) is that a cone is not exclusively a single direction transmitter of vibration. Being a rigid device it MUST transfer vibration from the shelf INTO the component that is resting upon it. The hard point is directly coupled... | |
| Purpose of triangular placement of cones/spikes? RE: my previous post - I should identify that I am a manufacturer of vibration control products.Barry Kohan | |
| Purpose of triangular placement of cones/spikes? For a number of years it has been thought that a pointed cone provides vibration control by "draining" unwanted stored energy out of a component and restricting the movement of vibration up into the bottom of the component due to the small contact... | |

| Replacing sound proofing in cabniets Hi Sean,After re-reading these posts I see that you are right - stuffing the ports was not specifically mentioned. Although filling the interior with foam to replicate a transmission line does prettty much fall into the catagory that I'm describin... | |
| Replacing sound proofing in cabniets I agree that we live in a free society and that we have the right to experiment with modifying speakers as much as we want, but if making a change as large as stuffing a vent hole actually IMPROVES the speaker, I contend that it's time to sell the... | |
| Replacing sound proofing in cabniets For a vented system you should only have material lining the cabinet walls. In a sealed system you would have the filler material filling the entire cabinet interior (the amount of stuffing will depend on a number of design goals). Placing any typ... |
