DIY vibration isolation Quadra Super Ultimate Isolation System

Posted by zvovchik (A) on January 15, 2016 at 22:59:15

i all,
just thought i would share my DIY vibration isolation Quadra Super Ultimate Isolation System, or "QUSPIS" (patents pending).

I needed something to isolate my turntable from vibration and footsteps, kids dancing, body slamming etc. From the Research and Development department of my kitchen table, with great pleasure i bring to you:QUSPIS

View Video of System in action at Rigorous Testing Facility: https://flic.kr/p/D2nKZv (look at photostream for more photos)
Testing was performed by skilled technician Equiped with special equipment to measure horizontal and vertical vibrations, aswell as unwanted resonances.

simple to build and requires almost no tools and can be used under any device up to 35 lbs or so i would guess.

Materials:
-Large 3.5" felt/foam furniture sliders pads(16 pack 9$ at Home depot)
-12"x12" cork squares about 1/4" thick(4 pack 5$? @ Fred Meyers)
on a side note i made cork turntalbe mat out of it, very good.
-Sling shot 3/8" metal balls(pack of 75 4$ Fredy's)

thats about it. Optional i used green velcro, garland tie .5"wide aroud sides 30ft 1$ home depot.

cut cork into squares and Use standard single hand held hole punch(used for paper) to make holes for where the steel balls will go. glue to pad. i used hot glue gun for cork to pad and balls to cork. Try not to get glue allover the balls, its hot and hard to remove.

Voila!

now about the sound: things became better separated, better detail, more delicate. Again according to the Technician doing the testing things improved.

let me know what you think.
