Rubber HiFi Footers (4x)

$60.00

Price is for a set of four (4). If you need enough for a pair of loudspeakers (1x left, 1x right) order two packs.

Four hi-fi rubber footers will support up to 180 pounds.

These specifically engineered rubber-type footers will significantly reduce the transmission of vibration between the loudspeaker or subwoofer and the floor. In most cases this reduces noise and improves resolution. And they make neighbors, particularly those living below the loudspeaker, more agreeable to your existence.

The coated hi-fi version look better than the pro version and help protect wooden floors against staining or marking. The two versions are functionally about the same besides the coating and the extra care in cosmetics.

Note, these footers are not designed to slide, the bottom-side clear rubber ring can peel off when you try and slide the speaker. Instead of sliding, simply “walk” the speaker via small incremental pivots on the footers, or lift and move the speaker.

What does this bottom-side ring of rubber do? Since it is clear it helps safeguard the footer from color imprinting on wood floors. And as it is hand applied wet it is highly bonded with the footer so it will not peel off without serious intent. The clear ring also improves the friction between footer and floor making your loudspeakers (or heavy amps) more planted, less slick—Nextel without the clear rubber ring actually has a pretty low friction coefficient.

Rubber footers feature 3/8-16 female steal insert. This is the same size we use on all of our bottom inserts. This size also allows the pass-through of 5/16, 1/4 and M6 and smaller screws. See photos for dimensional detail.

Here’s what these vibration damping feet do:

  • Reduce vibration between equipment and flooring.

  • Protect your wood or tile floor without having to slide coins or glides under the original equipment ball-end footers. When installed, the gap-height of some Zu loudspeakers (the space between the bottom of the speaker and floor) is no longer altered by adjusting the footer, instead use magazines (Rolling Stone fits perfect) or the like between the floor and loudspeaker bottom to create the desired gap. [Details on gap here]

  • Where spikes cut through the carpet and couple the mass of the speaker and the floor, these footers decouple. Decoupling lowers the loudspeaker cabinets fundamental resonance significantly.

  • Your neighbors will also be less annoyed as these feet will significantly reduce the number of calls you get from those living under and around you.

  • Simple to install, the rubber feet have a threaded insert that fits the original ball-end footer screws. Simply remove the nut from the ball-end screws, turn the screw so there is about a 1/2” [12mm] visible, thread the rubber foot onto the screw and cinch it up by hand. The only tool you need is a wrench to loosen the 9/16” [14mm] ball-end screw nut.
