Isolation Tips

Vibrations can physically travel through rigid materials such as ceramic or hardwood ﬂoors and affect your audio signal.
It is recommended to use anti-vibration furniture pads to decrease the transmission of physical vibrations when installed in a room with hard ﬂoors.
Speakers create sound waves, which travel through the air, and can cause unwanted acoustical eﬀects. Acoustic foam can be placed on the wall opposite the speakers to dampen sound reﬂections.
Some turntables have a removable dust cover. A dust cover can resonate with sound waves, which can cause audio distortion. A best practice is to remove the dust cover during playback.
