Velcro as Acoustic Isolation?

Yah, I'm more interested in the theory and application of Velcro as a energy sink.  I'm perfectly happy with my set-up.  With heavy duty Velcro, the surface area involved and mechanical interface seems to be a nice way to dissipate energy running through a system as an ancillary benefit.  Or maybe not...

It is a binder not a transmitter or isolator, maybe if it was hanging from Velcro. The space between the two surfaces the marble and the base of the speakers is just that a space... They are acting as isolation, but where is the vibration going? You want to transmit that away not store it in the enclosure.

By design, very dense material, with great dampening properties. Cast aluminum, HDS, Multi layer MDS. don't store vibration WELL. Think that way and things will change.

DEAD is not perfect for me... For the mids and highs..

I like a little MOJO, I get mine by the interior space, behind the driver, and usually highland wool, very dense. What I coat the inside of the enclosure with makes a lot of difference to.. Sound coat, rubber line, black hole... then driver dampening.. depends on how they are made.

Planars, round drivers, cast or punched baskets..

I use 390 lb pound HDF monitors, with 8" planars... very little vibration in that structure. There is no bass either...280 hz and down is CUT.

Bass columns, a little mojo.. There is an certain cabinet tone I look for..

Sub structures are different, green concrete... comes to mind...

Everything is different.. Everything makes a difference...Good or Bad, it makes a difference..

Velcro and marble to losing isolation items try Symposium.

oldhvymec I was supposing that vibration making it into the velcro would be largely dissipated as heat given the interface of the high surface area of the hook and loop fasteners.

Velcro dissipating energy as heet?

That concept is laughable.
