Elevate Subwoofer Off Floor

I mean the subwoofer sitting on it.

Elevate subwoofer off floor.

So let s see why the subwoofer should not be rested on the floor what are the ways to isolate a subwoofer from the floor and how we can get the best performance of the sub if keeping it off the floor is not feasible. We can elevate your platform up to 24 and higher if qualified. You can place a sub anywhere in the room. A higher position in the room will produce a smoother room frequency response.

By raising the sub off the floor onto the hearth i definitely noticed more bass. I also measured higher db measurements in the 20 24 hz range. A typical sub transmits vibration directly to the floor even with feet. Removing that means you hear the sub only not the sub and the floor.

So we put a structure underneath it. Subwoofers are less obtrusive than the sort of floor standing speakers with drivers big enough to pull off the same task. But elevating the subwoofer is not always practical. 1 setup myth is.

I had to recalibrate the ht settings to accomodate several more dbs in the 35 hz range. Also subs have dedicated power on board lessening the strain on your a v. Well of course you can but chances are it won t sound very good. A bowers wilkins db1 subwoofer bowers wilkins the no.

My situation may be unique because even though the sub is elevated it is still well anchored to a solid foundation. The floor is then vibrating and adding to the sound. Isolation is obtained by placing the subwoofer on the platform and separating the subwoofer from the floor. Because we want to minimize the transmission of noise or vibration if you will to the floor itself.

I ve done it with multiple subs both on suspended and concrete slab floors and it helped in both rooms. This elevates it let s say 12 inches off the floor.
