Loudspeaker isolation!

Cylons are on their way, I mean Sylomers are on their way.

I've used Sonic design's feet for at least 20 years, they're in fact built in on the bottom of my Guru 28 speakers
I wonder if Per-Arne was the first one on the market with these sylomer feet. I have the standard ones and the thicker ones as well. Needed to weigh the speakers in each corner to get correct spec.
 
I asked for a quick an easy method of calculating which durometer Sylomer would be suitable for various wights of loudspeaker.
Lewis Metcalf of AMC kindly sent me this table,
Divide the weight of the speaker into four ( four Sylomer pads) for example a fifty kilo loudspeaker divided by four equals 12.5 kilos so Sylomer SR18 would be most appropriate
DescriptionFormatMax load (kg)Natural frequency (Hz)AMC Item Code
Sylomer SR11100 x 100 x 25mm.1012707278
Sylomer SR18100 x 100 x 25mm.1612707279
Sylomer SR28100 x 100 x 25mm.2512707280
Sylomer SR42100 x 100 x 25mm.4012707368
Sylomer SR55100 x 100 x 25mm.5012707241
Thank you again to everyone at AMC for your expertise.

The Sylomer SR-11 tower of power!
It is quite odd, it feels as though it could be damp, though that might be because we have had 41 consecutive days of rain!

About £3.00 per block, now if I only had some speakers to place them under, wait who’s at the door?

Where did you get them from, a UK retailer or from the continent?

I did a search a little bit on Google, and all I can find is seemingly a handful of German companies who are more in the business of selling B2B than B2C.

Then there's Amazon where I found those found those


Seems like a smaller diameter with a varying hardness depending the weight of the speaker unit.
 
I bought these from a UK retailer, but you can I believe buy directly from AMC MECANOCAUCHO.

I have ordered some SR-11 to try, each 25mm x 50mm x 50mm pad sells for the princely sum of £2.50.
I will report but they look a viable alternative to sorbathane.
I have suggested to AMC it is a market they might consider investigating.
Keith
Do you already have some results?
Greetings
Enjoy...
 
I am sure they work, but one would have to manufacture an extreme edge case, of poorly designed loudspeaker on resonant surface, fortunately I have neither of those.

You just need a resonant surface.
