Let's see, so we can put springs under the load, and also attach springs to the ceiling, with an adjustable rod attaching to the top of the load. Yes, a good weekend project, for sure.
Nobsound springs - load range
I want to try out the Nobsound springs as damping footers (mainly under my mono blocks and my streamer). I ordered a first set of them and now I wonder about the amount of springs to put in for different weights of equipment.I remember one post that said it works best when 50% compressed (was it @millercarbon?).
I measured the compression of the springs, it takes ~2.5 kg per spring to compress it to 50%. Based on 50% compression target, this yields the following sweet spot configurations (only stable ones, total equipment weight):
- 3 units, 3 springs each: 22.5 kg
- 4 units, 3 springs each (or 3 units, 4 springs each): 30 kg - 4 units, 4 springs each: 40 kg
- 3 units, 6 springs each: 45 kg
- 3 units, 7 springs each: 52.5 kg
- 4 units, 6 springs each: 60 kg
- 4 units, 7 springs each: 70 kgLoad can be considerably higher than expected (somewhere I read about 36kg, which is presumably for 4 units).
Any comments?What about ~10 kg streamer, seems to be too light to compress the springs enough? Does anyone have experience with Nobsound springs under light equipment like this?
Based on your experiences: Would you even dare to put an 80kg floor standing speaker on Nobsound springs?

Instant success with first installation? What luck! I failed in my first attempt as the sound got worse when I first installed the Nobsounds. It took me about 5 days with arduous trials to get to the optimal spring configuration. |
Imagine now fine tuned damped loaded speakers with springs asymmetrically compressed under and over the speakers... <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Now take a piece of 1-1.5" all-thread and drill a hole in the top and the bottom of the speaker, countersink the holes top and bottom and use 6" x 1/2" washers. Now tighten to tone. You can make the cabinet sound like green concrete, if you tighten correctly.. Cost a couple of peanuts at least, all thread ain't cheap.100.00 should do it, used would work, 30-50.00 for 2 pieces of 60" all thread and make the washers. Master M, you’ve done it again. :-) Enjoy the holidays.. |
Good to hear @tweak1 . What improvement have you experienced? |
