Silicone Speaker Isolation Feet (4-Pack, 1") – Non-Skid Adhesive Pads for Turntable, Subwoofer & Audio Gear – Anti-Vibration Damping, 20 Duro Rubber

Got this for my desktop audio setup as a precursor to working on my audio system. To my surprise these budget isolation pads worked really well. I experienced greater overall sonic clarity and detail by helping to reduce unwanted sonic vibrations from my desktop. I first applied it on my speakers, listened for awhile, applied it on my Class D amp, and listened more. When I crank up the volume, the new founded clarity just made the listening at higher volume more enjoyable as the muddiness is not amplified. Obviously, your mileage will vary as my $150 speakers are not built like a tank. Vibrations affect the entire signal path that the overall sound quality tightened up with each gear isolation pads were applied to. I can't make my system sound better than it was designed for, but I can help to reduce handicapping my system from unwanted inefficiencies like vibration.

Good product, it provides good stability to my subwoofer and zero vibrations

Added four 1" hemispheres per stand to my API monitor stands to isolate the Elac UB5. Stands are already on spikes that are perched atop 2" thick Bamboo butcher blocks that also have 1.25" cones for isolation on a carpet over suspended floor. The stands had a slight resonance at certain frequencies still so I figured on decoupling the UB5 from the API top plates. The Platinum Silicon Hemispheres seemed like a good choice. Added the set of eight to the top plates and positioned the speakers back on top and sat down to do some samples that I had just listened to prior to the Hemi's. I consider myself an audiophile who is also a musician so I know when I hear a difference in my rig. The Elac UB5 are quite impressive at their price point and have been a alternate choice when I take a change of pace from either the Vandersteen's or the JSE Infinite Slopes here. As impressive as the UB5s are I was shocked at the "next level" sound that occurred by simply adding the HudsonHiFi Hemispheres. Mid-bass and bass both improved with less decay muddying up bass guitar, floor toms and bass drum. This also improved what was already a pretty decent performance from the concentric mid/tweeter driver Elac uses in the Uni-Fi series. Noticeable improvement in clarity over several octaves and instruments. After listening for hours I went and felt the stands for resonance in the columns, nothing there now. These HudsonHiFi Hemispheres are doing exactly what they were prescribed for, vibration isolation. Very impressive performance considering I've purchased some very expensive coupling and decoupling devices in the past that were magnitudes more money. This is for sure not the last purchase I make from this company. I look forward to testing their other products in my system.

It gets my old passive subwoofer off the floor. It seems to transmit a little less vibration to the floor.

I used these for my subwoofer for my surround sound system. I live in an apartment and the subwoofer was definitely loud enough for the bass to go through the floor and disturb my downstairs neighbor. So I purchased these before that could happen. They work great!! They do exactly what I needed them to do.

High quality, great adhesion to surfaces and took care of vibration issues. Kudo’s to Valentina for her great customer service.

Perfect product.

Just got it and set it up right away. Seriously, the first note hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm not even kidding, it sounds a hundred times better now. Before this, the bass was vibrating all over my 3-drawer chest and just muddying up the mids and highs—it sounded like some cheap piece of junk. Now, it finally sounds like it’s worth every penny. (I mean, it's not some crazy high-end setup, but still...) Man, I should've done this sooner.

What can I say, I bought these on a whim... $12.99 and when I tried them out they did a better job than my Black Diamond Racing Cones and platforms combined are more than 15x the price!!! I did a vibration test to find there is a significant difference. If they are not in stock at Amazon, wait until they fill the stock, otherwise the extortionists come out of the woodwork to charge 3x the price (or more). I have tried just about every type of isolation feet that Hudson HiFi had and they are two things... The best for the buck and the best you can buy... no need for fancy gimmicks. Update: A few months later and I have purchased a range of Hudson HiFi isolation feet... Got them under everything, stand components, speakers and isolation transformers... All working great and very happy with purchases...

Although expensive for what they are, these little domes are brilliant and a bargain for what they do. I'd used their bigger version (1" diameter") on some small monitor speakers I have hooked up to synths in my studio, mostly to keep noise transmission to my neighbours reduced to a minimum. I noticed an immediate difference in the clarity of the polyphonic voices on one of my synths as soon as I tried them out. So, I thought, let's see what the same can do for my hifi... I can't use stands in my speaker set up, so isolating the speakers from their base was the only sensible option. They were stuck at the corners of each of a pair of 8" Mordaunt Short speakers I've had for years, fed from a mid range Denon amp and CD player, which I've also owned for years, so I know the sound from them very well. Not bottom end gear, maybe the low end of mid-range, certainly not esoteric bank balance punishing separates. To test them out, I put on an ambient album by Basis, which has plenty of bass, mid range and treble, as well as reverb and decay. I'm very familiar with this both on headphones, quality in ear buds and speakers. Wow, what a difference. Although I've not got an optimal stereo set up due to renovations, the increase in stereo separation was immediately evident, as was the improved clarity of reverb and delay effects. Likewise the clarity of each of the instruments, especially the quieter passages. Very, very impressed by the difference they've made, wish I'd bought them years ago. I'm sure there are more expensive solutions that squeeze another few percent out of hifi gear. But for diminishing returns, I'd question the additional cost, speed and convenience of anything considerably more expensive. In summary: Excellent at what they do, and your neighbours have less chance of hearing your music. For the price, a bargain. Recommended.

👍🏻

Absolutely fantastic difference it made! Had my speakers on my TV console which has a glass top.

Lo compre para controlar el grave de un echo show 10 en la cocina que hacia vibrar la encimera de silestone, y para un echo show 8 que sonaba emborronado dentro de un mueble de madera en el baño. El sonido ha mejorado, más control y detalle sin perder dinámica , los vecinos lo agradecerán ya que cancela muy efectivamente la transmisión de vibraciones por lo que oirán menos nuestra música cuando la ponemos alta. Probado en otro echo show 10 en el dormitorio, colocado sobre una cómoda con tapa de mármol , el resultado no ha sido bueno ya que en esta situación se perdía mucho cuerpo , por lo tanto recomiendo probarlos en diferentes condiciones ya que estos pies son realmente efectivos y cambian radicalmente el sonido. También los he colocado en discos duros y su efecto ha sido reducir la vibración que estos producen.
