Auralex Acoustics Offers An Inexpensive Sound Solution for the Audio/Video Fan (26/11/2004)

If your loved one's Christmas list includes pricey audio/video gadgetry hopelessly out of your price range, consider the SubDude isolation platform from Auralex Acoustics. It will instantly improve the quality of a sound system by eliminating the vibrations that distort sound. And at only $59, it is an inexpensive alternative to the pricey gadgetry on their list.

The SubDude is one of many products Auralex Acoustics is bringing to home entertainment using their years of experience outfitting professional recording studios.

When the platform is placed under a speaker (or subwoofer), it isolates the speaker from the floor and stops the vibrations that otherwise would travel through the floor and to the listener's ears as distorted sound. Because the listener hears more sound passed through the air and not through the floor the tone is pure and the sound improvement noticeable.

Darryl Wilkinson, editor of Home Theater magazine, recommends the SubDude as an inexpensive and effective addition to any sound system. "The most impressive thing about the SubDude is how much 'bang' you get for the buck. It's not that you get more bass -- you get better bass. It's a clearly audible improvement in the clarity and the character of your system's sound. And the design should work with just about any speaker or subwoofer."

The SubDude measures 23-in. wide, 15-in. deep and 2 3/4-in. high and can support loads up to 300 lbs., sufficient for all but the largest subwoofers.
