Isolation feet on Totem Mites?

[tsvaughn]

I've just purchased a pair of used Totem Mites and see they do not have rubber/felt feet. Is it best to set them directly on the credenza or get some isolation feet for them? Thanks!

Most speakers do not come with feet/pads. You can use various things around the house to isolate them or you can buy a product such as Auralex MoPads.

The energy generated by the drivers relative to the mass of the box is so little, that it probably won't make a difference sonically. You can use some low profile furniture pads to protect the furniture and speaker.

The MoPads j_garcia recommended also work great if they are aesthetically okay for you.

I agree, I use felt pads on one Dreamcatcher because I don't want to mar the finish on the bookshelf.

The puddy-style poster tack works really well to protect both the bottom of the speakers and the surface that they are resting on. I'm one of those that avoid having whatever surface the speaker is attached to create additional sound. Congrats on picking up a very nice-sounding pair of mini-monitors.

Blu-tack from 3M is the recommended kind as it is not supposed to leave residue. I've used the generic yellow poster putty and it leaves marks.

I like the Auralex MoPads but if that's too rich for your blood you can pick up 2 sets of isolation pads from Super Sound Proofing for $4/set.
