Isolating an omni mount ceiling mount

brandoncross · 2nd July 2011

Hi all,
I just installed omni mounts and surround speakers in my studio. They have to be attached to a ceiling joist. So, the way the joist run, they are both mounted on the same joist. So I bought sobathane bushings and put one on the top and bottom of the connection between the speaker and the omni mount in an attempt to isolate it. At first that didn't work very well and some low level, low frequency audio started to bleed into the next room. So I loosened the connection where the bushings are and that really helped. It is mostly silent now. What I would like to know is, how are other people isolating omni mounts? Does anyone have an better or more effective idea for my situation? Anything that would increase the isolation of my surround speakers?
Thanks
Brandon
