Even if you completely solved the vibrating cables, that's not the only problems caused by the vibrations. I haven't looked at the Audioengines in years, are there specialized screws, et al to which you don't have the appropriate tool to unscrew/rescrew?
Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers
I noticed that the interconnects, power and speaker cables that are plugged into the powered speaker have constant vibration. Is there any way to nullify or reduce that vibration? I was thinking about buying some form of rubber or foam pad and cut out holes for the cables to go. Then place it at the source of connection in an attempt to stop the vibrations from going down the cable.

@ghasley It isn't that I cannot unscrew, it's a temperature issue. The amp gets hot and the putty melts very quickly. My fear is, leaving the putty will melt and get onto the electronics and cause damage. I am researching heat resistant foam pads that I might be able to use to cover the entire amp panel. If I can stop the reverberation from the actual inputs themselves, it won't transmit to the cable. |
FINAL UPDATE: I solved the problem. Not mitigated, solved. The EVA foam only did a minimal job. I found the solution in Neoprene rubber sheets. Just one thin sheet made a difference. Eventually, I used the entire roll and wrapped it around the cables. Vibration gone. The only thing I need to look out for is heat. The Neoprene can handle extreme temperatures, but it insulates and keeps heat trapped. So if heat is generated by the cables, it could build up. But...vibrations solved. :) This is what I bought in case others are interested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CJFQ6F9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |
