I did some looking into that moon gel stuff for drummer's...interesting...and probably is the real deal...
Securing Monitors to a stand
I just got done with my latest DIY project, building Speaker monitors.
They are bigger and heavier than most standard size monitors and though the stands that are used are solid and the speakers sit on them firmly, a good bump may topple them.
I am presently using Herbies Big Fat Dots under the speakers, but they don’t really anchor the speakers to the stand. Blue Tack can be used but, wouldn’t hold much. I thought of using mirror clips with padding but that would involve drilling holes in the bottom of the speakers.
Anyone have a better idea?
Thanks,
ozzy

Maybe you can use Soundcare SuperSpike foot. Is one model without tread, flat on both side, just put glued pads on both sides. http://www.soundcare.no/store-bilder/SAsceme1.gif |
I know this thread is 3+ years old, but its contents are still highly relevant. I was also looking at @ghosthouse's post here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/vibration-isolation-2/post?highlight=fat%2Bdots%2Bshore&postid=1705736#1705736 I'll be placing Harbeths on top of the four wood uprights of an open stand, and was looking at Herbie's fat dots and wondering how "slippy" or not-slip their surface is. I'd attach them to the tops of the stand but wouldn't want adhesive between them and the bottom of the speaker. The other thing I was looking at was cork, which is not mentioned very much in discussions of speaker/stand interface. Thinking about simply topping the uprights with squares cut from a sheet of cork. (BTW, the adhesive of double-sided carpet tape is also pretty ferocious.) Improvised experiment: pressing down firmly on a cork drink coaster on a wood surface, it seems to me that it's not absolutely non-slip, but it doesn't want to glide easily over the surface, which seems pretty much ideal. |
