Sound Addicted VibeBoss P10 - Acoustic Isolation Platform Suitable for 8-10 inches Subwoofers (13.7'' x 15.7'' x 2.5'')

Picked up the VibeBoss P10 after weighing this VS some other contenders and was not disappointed with the results. Studio layout is a medium sized room with a concrete floor covered by low pile carpeting. Minimal acoustic treatment but no noticeable issues with just two Yamaha HS7 monitors. After adding a Yamaha HS8S subwoofer (down-firing type) directly on the floor, the boom and sound pressure were overpowering, uncomfortable, and muddy - causing early ear fatigue. To make it tolerable and more balanced with the desk monitors, gain on the HS8S had to be turned way down from center (12 o'clock) to a little past 9 o'clock but it never sounded quite right or as good as a front-firing sub I had tried in the same space. Unboxing Sound Addicted's platform, the feel is light yet sturdy and well made. The size of the platforms were a major deciding factor and this platform is near perfect for the Yamaha HS8S specifically. Instead of the square shape 15"X15" of both the Auralex SubDude II and the Auray ISO-SUB, the VibeBoss P10 is rectangular at 13.7" wide X 15.7" deep which better matches the shape of the HS8S at 11.8"W X 15.3"D and leaves just a slight lip all the way around the bottom of the sub. Aesthetically, this isolation platform wins over the Auralex and Auray in my opinion not only because of the shape for my specific speaker, but it comes in all black. Not some medium gray or combo of black and gray like the others, its all black save for the Sound Addicted logo which you can see in the photos. The logo is tasteful enough but if you prefer a more subtle, cleaner look like me just turn it around to face the backside of the speaker. Most importantly, sound wise this made more of an improvement than anticipated. Once the sub was mounted properly on the platform, it's perceived loudness (at the 9 o'clock gain level) was so noticeably low compared to what it was before and to the two HS7 monitors that I had to double check that it was even powered on and connected properly. This allowed raising the gain back to the standard 12 o'clock position to match the monitors and the sounds from the sub were now cleaner, crisper, with way less boom and abrasion. The only downside seems to be that with the sub isolated and sounding better at its intended volume, the rattling of some of the studio furniture is way more obvious - so treating all that is the next project! TLDR: If you have a Yamaha HS8S subwoofer, this is the isolation platform you want (P10 size), look no further. *The same company also makes the matching set of all black Studio Monitor Isolation Pads [ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WYXQZ7P ] which look super clean on my desk and have no branding on them. I bought them a few years ago for the Yamaha HS7's and are highly recommended.

I have a subwoofer with dual 12" drivers tucked into the server cabinet for the surround sound system in my family room. The dual 12" drivers are forward and down-facing, so the latter drives base directly into the bottom of the cabinet and into the floor under the cabinet. Before I purchased this product, the subwoofer's placement would make everything from the cabinet to the windows rattle depending upon the base frequency, especially during those long periods of consistent, low frequency, signals - like you expect in those intense, elongated, seconds of a movie leading up to the big moment or scare. Most disconcertingly, the rattling inside the cabinet could get so bad, it would almost sound like speaker popping or distortion. It of course wasn't the speaker, this was literally caused by short, fast, hard, low frequency signals that would cause the subwoofer to bounce repeatedly off the ground. I would open the cabinet and find the subwoofer unit pressed against the wall diagonally, a foot or so away from its placed position. To complicate matters further in my case, there massive openings and metal grates installed at each end of the cabinet as well as cutouts throughout the cabinet to access wires fed through the wall and or to promote air circulation for the components installed in the cabinet. As the cabinet is custom built for wire access, management, and airflow, it is not solid and lacks rigidity. Therefore, it enhances rattling from low frequency signals of the subwoofer. Obviously, I needed a solution other than taking the unit out of the cabinet only to have an eye sore in the family room, which would likely not eliminate the problem as it would still be placed next to the cabinet. To be honest, I was not expecting "the final solution" out of this product. I hoped it would be just enough of an improvement to make the purchase worthwhile, and then maybe I had to add some sound dampening around the subwoofer in further support. Most importantly, I hoped it would at least eliminate the problem of the sub hoping around in the cabinet like it was "doing the twist" to the Chubby Checker song - I'm old enough to know, but some of you may have to look that one up. After all, as described, there is a lot for this few inches of what appears to be foam to overcome. The product arrived, and upon quick and easy installation by simply lifting the sub and placing it on top of this product, to my surprise, it pretty much eliminated any and all of the problems. It even eliminated or significantly reduced rattling/vibration in other parts of the room. It is truly amazing that a few inches of what appears to be foam - although, I am sure is so much more technical in its design - would clean up the base sound so significantly, especially considering the characteristics of my setup. This product is a more pricey compared to its competitors, which fell more in the range of 25 to 50 dollars. However, it was worth every penny, at least in my case. If an investment into a 70 dollar product cleans up these types of issues caused by a subwoofer that costs over 15 times that amount, it is well worth the investment. Therefore, to my amazement, this product unexpectedly fully fulfilled its purpose as advertised, and for that reason this is a 5-star product in my opinion. I am very happy with my purchase, it has saved me from further investment of additional sound dampening, installation, the any additional time it would have taken to figure it out. If you are experiencing similar issues with your subwoofer or speakers, this product is well worth the opportunity to fully resolve the problem.

We Started with the SA 5" monitor ISO blocks for our weighty (23 lbs) XIO soundbar. We then added the SA Soundbar feet to our Panasonic DP-UB9000P1K 4K HD BluRay player, and this third purchase, the VibeBoss P10 that I'm reviewing here, was installed under our KEF KC92 Subwoofer. This Subwoofer ISO platform fits the KC92 superbly- more more importantly, it does a fantastic job for what its designed. Our food is a carpeted wood floor (crawlspace) that while the carpet offers SOME damping, it's not nearly enough. What is the result of adding the SA VibeBoss P10? It completely removed any LF resonance & vibration through the carpet into the floor and floor joists, and through the structure of our living room and home; and because of that, the bass has not just tightened-up, but is more accurate, taut & defined; and BOOMS are minimized to the INTENDED BOOMS of the movie audio tracks, for example. This "trifecta" of Sound Addicted products we incorporated in our system (the VibeBoss P10 Platform, Soundbar feet under our BluRay player, and the 5" monitor ISO blocks under the XIO) is an absolute MUST HAVE for a very meager amt of money in contrast to much more spend audiophile solutions. I'm so glad we purchased these as the difference in our system before & after is night and day...a huge, HUGE improvement.

As an eternal 66 year old sceptic I’ve gotten leery of audiophile items claiming to increase the overall sound and/or control needed within a home theater. I’ve always had the SVS isolator feet on both subs but the thought of elevating them both was a bit more promising. I was getting a lot of bass but it seemed to bounce around the room uncontrollably. I’m running a 7.4 home theater setup using the KEF Reference Series 5 Meta as the mainstay for overall mid/high sound production, a B&W center, SVS 10” and 14” subs upfront (these two received the sub platforms), two SVS Prime Pinnacles as rear, two Klipsch surrounds and a pair of 12” REL subs for the back. Overkill yes, far too much but it sounds like I felt a theater should sound. These elevated platforms have increased my ability to tone back some of the mid sub frequencies and allowing those to pass through the KEF, while providing excellent control for sound dispersion. We know subs produce frequencies that’ll bounce around a room with little thought as to where the sound ends up. The platforms allowed me to dial in the subs much more accurately with the input and rather than have a room filled with bass, I’ve decreased the subs output without decreasing control. This was not possible without these platforms. I purchased two to accommodate the fronts and I’ll leave the rear subs alone for now as they have built in 2” REL feet. These are perfect for someone wanting to increase control while maintaining the true sound reproduction and they do so with an aesthetic appeal and a great price, both somewhat undoable with just the use of isolator feet. Great job.

I’ve been using this under my subwoofer and it made a bigger difference than I expected. It helps cut down on vibration through the floor and tightens up the bass, especially at higher volumes. Build quality is solid with a firm platform and dense foam underneath, and it stays in place without sliding. Setup is basically just placing your sub on top, so it’s super easy. It’s not going to completely eliminate all vibration, but it definitely reduces it and makes the sound feel cleaner. Overall, it’s a simple upgrade that actually improves both sound and noise control, especially if you’re in an apartment or have a sub on hardwood floors.

Very happy with this! We bought a new sound bar with a wireless sound woofer and we live in an apartment with people below us and we were concerned about vibration and the sound carrying through. We’ve been checking in with our neighbor below and she hasn’t heard any vibration, no booming… nothing. The size is perfect for where we put it also. It’s very durable and feels very sturdy with the material it’s built with. It also seems to be very high quality in product as well and seems like it will last a while, very happy with it! Money well spent so we won’t have to worry about noise complaints!

Shipping was slow, but the product is very well built and very effective

I might have gone a little overboard with a klipsch 12 inch in my home. it shakes the walls, the floors, the cabinets. This pad was a perfect fit for the dimensions of the sub, and the improvement to the sound was as dramatic as when I added a subwoofer in the first place. It prevents the sub from using your floor itself as a diaphragm and shaking your walls to pieces - even if you're a basshead like me, this is important. Because the sound pressure sensation is still there, it's just not being turned into mud. The cleanliness of the sound was immediately a dozen times better. It can still punch you in the chest with bass, but isn't a muddy mess. If you own a subwoofer, I'm not being hyperbolic (I don't participate in all the superstition around the hifi world) in saying that this was every bit as dramatic for sound quality as the subwoofer itself. Do not get a subwoofer without an isolator pad like this. And if you got a klipsch 12 inch, this is the one you need to fit it. perfect footprint.

Muito boa qualidade, recebido dois dias antes do prazo!

Works amazing reduces the vibes to nothing but with still great sound.Should be a must in every apartment or sound sensitive area I would and have recommended multiple times already. Fast and good packaging for shipping.
