How to make quality speakers for your own acoustics

Buying an audio system, the buyer, as a rule, focuses on its quality indicators and price. Often the choice is made in favor of small and compact devices that perfectly sound in the store on the demonstration stand. Already at home, many are faced with the question: "And where, in fact, to install the speakers?". If they are placed in the furniture wall, they do not sound. Resonant phenomena, unnecessary vibration and muffled annoying. Put up? But then the direction of the sound is wrong, and the stereo effect is weak.

Of course, outdoor speakers are much better, but they are much more expensive. What to do? There is a way out, you can make pedestals for acoustics with your own hands.

At first glance, the task is simple, but with a thorough examination of the question it turns out that there are still difficulties. This is not an easy thing - good acoustics. With their own hands, not everyone will take it, and there are well-known firms specializing in the production of column stands. First, the design must be stable, because there are children in the family, and adults can inadvertently drop an inexpensive column on the floor. Secondly, there should be no resonances and other distortions of natural sound. Thirdly, it is desirable that such supports satisfy the aesthetic requirements and correspond to the style of the interior. Fourth, they need to get by inexpensively, otherwise the whole point of saving will disappear. It is possible that there may be other conditions that should be taken into account when making speaker stands for one's own hands.

So, first of all you should think about the materials. As a base, it is best to use square slabs of laminated chipboard or wood, the more strongly their color and shade will match the floor, the better. The dimensions of the base must correspond to the weight of the AU, the heavier it is, the greater the stability is required. Usually enough square with a side from 30 to 50 cm, they are willing to cut in any construction market, where you can buy a strip for detachment, which is applied to the edges with iron.

The second issue in the manufacture of racks for acoustics with their hands touches the rod. Ideally, their height should be such that the speakers were just below the level of the head of the person sitting in the chair.

With this task, metal legs for office desks and attachments quite manage, they can be bought in specialized shops selling furniture accessories. They, by the way, are equipped with a sufficiently reliable flange fastening system and, importantly, are beautiful, have different surface textures, from chrome to matte black, to choose from. Attach them to the base with the help of self-tapping screws, but there is a subtlety: holes must be drilled for them, otherwise the surface of the laminate will crack.

Making the bases for acoustics with their own hands enters the final stage. It remains to purchase one more trunnion for fastening the columns, and screw them to the rack. It is best to do this through rubber gaskets, then the sound fluctuations will be less transferred to the floor, which will significantly reduce the likelihood of complaints from neighbors, and at the same time improve the quality of playback.

The speaker installed on this stand does not sound worse than the floor acoustics. With its own hands it is easy to make, and it will cost inexpensively.
