A quickie about floor sound absorption

[Rod Gervais]

Your best bet would be to deal with this between the top of the stands and the speakers.

The minute you place the sand bags to lock everything in it will compress whatever the stand is sitting on - which will (most probably) make it ineffective....

Another option (of course) would be to hang the speakers instead of using floor mounts from isolation hangers sized for the weight of the speakers.

I would be remiss if I did not point out to you that this alone will not provide a whole lot of relief for the lady below your apartment.

Thanks Rod.

What i will probably do is to build a DIY Drum Riser style flooring and pack some rockwool sheets in it to create a kind of insulation.

I already have the wood and will have some rockwool left over from my ceiling bass trap so it won't really cost any more.

I will see how this goes, and if it still needs work i will get some rubbe plates for the speaker stands as you suggested.

Thanks again,
