In Reply to: DIY Constrained layer platforms posted by DSK on September 24, 2001 at 19:21:05:
If your compnent is "attached" to a platform with hard footers or roller bearings (or even just sitting on its own feet), the resonant siganture of the platform is combined with the resonant signature of the component.I have asked before on this forum and to date have not seen any substantiation of the concept of "draining". Despite manufacturers' claims, in the absence of a solid demonstration (physical or theoretical), I don't think anything is being "drained" from anywhere.
I believe the reason constrained layer platforms work is the resonant signature of the platform is deadened, leaving the signature of the component "uncolored".
Understanding just what it is we're trying to accomplish (as opposed to simply accepting manufacturers' claims) will help us do a better job.
Happy Listening!
