MoPAD Monitor Isolators

Dimensions: 12" long x 4" wide (4 pieces per order); Weight Limitations: 100lbs.

Your loudspeakers are the most critical components in the reproduction of source material. No matter how good your preamps, cables, amplifiers and other pieces of gear that you've invested in, you're not truly hearing what your sources sound like until you isolate your monitors from their environment.

This is where the Auralex MoPADs come in. MoPAD Monitor Isolation Pads provide sonic isolation between your monitors and whatever your monitors are resting on, INSTANTLY improving the accuracy of your entire system.

MoPADs are affordable, easy to implement and really effective at decoupling your monitors from your room and all its contents. You've gotta get some! Until you do, you'll never know what your system really sound like.

GRAMMA yields nearly total acoustic isolation, resulting in a purity of tone that has to be heard to be believed!

Only Great GRAMMA can handle the big rigs!

SubDude

The Auralex SubDude is a 15" x 15" x 2.5" platform wrapped with ozite to fit any room setting. Its purpose is to prevent sound from transmitting through your subwoofer to surrounding surfaces.

Subwoofers create big vibrations (low frequencies) that you can feel in the floor and in objects placed nearby. When the source of the vibrations is coupled directly to the floor it causes these objects to vibrate or resonate – not only at the fundamental pitch the source is creating but also at harmonic frequencies that discolor the true sound from the source. Now you have two (or more) objects vibrating, which creates an acoustical problem called “secondary resonance”.

Note the graph of SubDude performance on a sample concrete floor, the most noticeable effect is on harmonic frequencies above 100 Hz. This is the harmonic range above the fundamental the sub is recreating, allowing you to hear a more true bass tone below 100 Hz by eliminating upper harmonic resonances. This translates to the listener as more accuracy in the low end, and a cleaner (less muddy) crossover between the sub and your full range LCR channels. The SubDude effectively reduces secondary resonance by decoupling your subwoofer from the floor so you hear your sub and not the vibration of the other objects in your listening environment.

When speakers are tested in anechoic chambers, they are isolated from objects around them that could introduce resonance. With the SubDude, you can recreate a similar scenario in your living room.
