In Reply to: Sand or Steel Shot for deadening speaker stands? posted by oldmkvi on September 21, 2016 at 12:25:40:
I've tried the following:
- Playground sand
- Lead shot
- 50/50 mix of BBs and playground sand
Sand seems to produce a deader sound than shot or a mixture, which might be good or bad depending on your system. You can tune the degree of deadening by varying the amount of sand in the stands.
Lead shot sounds better to me, but the stands can become very heavy and hard to move around.
The 50/50 mix is the best I've tried. I used BBs because I already had a lot of them on hand, but steel shot should produce the same result and be cheaper.
I did not try kitty litter because it seems rather light. I'm sure it would provide damping, but I wanted to mass load the stands too so they couple better to the floor.
