## Overview

The Auralex SubDude HT is a premium subwoofer isolation platform designed to dramatically reduce structural vibrations and sound transmission. Its patented velour-covered MDF platform and 1-inch isolation base decouple your subwoofer from the floor, delivering tighter, clearer bass and minimizing resonance. Perfect for larger home theater subwoofers, it enhances low-frequency response while keeping your neighbors happy.

## Description

The Sub Dude-HT’s expanded size accommodates popular, larger-footprint home theater subwoofers. The design, based on an Auralex patent, features a functionally inert 3/4 inch, velour-covered, MDF platform supported by a 1 inch base layer of sturdy Auralex Platform that is an effective isolation boundary to decouple the subwoofer from the floor underneath. This combination of materials dramatically diminishes structural vibrations and resonances, resulting in reduced coloration, tighter bass and a perceived extension of the subwoofer’s low-frequency response.

Review: Sounds Great and Settled an Argument! - This product served 2 purposes with my SVS PB-1000 Pro 12" Ported Subwoofer. It made it sound better, and more importantly it settled a dispute with a neighbor over my traveling bass. The bass no longer travels to their windows like it did! Problem solved.
Review: Great solution - I have 3 large active subwoofer on second floor over 2 car garage. The construction is wood framing. Before installing these vibration mats the room walls would shake and even feed back into my turntable !! These units were recommend by Rythmic Subwoofer Co!! Great advice! The Rattling of the walls and turntable is completely gone. The entry from the active subs is Not coupled into the structure!! Great solution

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Moving to top floor apartment with Pioneer SW-8-K. Is this overkill or even needed for such a small sub?  Better/cheaper alternatives for an 8"?**
A: I don't think of this product as a way to prevent sound from moving through the building, but as a way of preventing unwanted room modes from 'muddying" the low frequencies. I have a number of these both the full size and the smaller version you are looking at and they do a tremendous job of adding clarity to the low frequencies, but I can still hear the bass downstairs in my basement. I would highly recommend the product, but I don't think it's going to prevent your neighbors from getting upset if you watch a Marvel film at a fairly loud level. Hope this helps.

**Q: Is there really much of a difference between the Subdude and Ampdude? Minus looks of course.**
A: I'm not sure what ampdude is doing, subdude's foam seems to be proprietary. Meaning that r and d developed for this product seem to do something with the sound waves. That being said this design seems to bring a noticeable difference when placed under the sub.

**Q: Will this reduce the amount of bass that travels downstairs when my subwoofer is upstairs?**
A: They should. If you have them on a wooden floor you can feel and hear the bass throughout the house. Resting your sub on it should reduced the boominess.I had the opposite problem. I had 2 Laradigm subs on my basement, resting in thin carpet on concrete. My bass was completely gone. The bass indidnhave was bloated and boomy. I added 2 of these and all of a sudden I could hear and feel my bass again. Best money I ever spent. I would also recommend the Auralex mopad for your center channel

**Q: If my subwoofer is 18 inches deep and this platform is 15 - is 1 1/2 inches overhang on the front and back going to be an issue?**
A: Overhang won't be an issue as long as the spikes or whatever supports are used to hold the sub up off the ground will sit on the ampdude.
