Canton DM50 Resonance

[Miker]

My DM50 is sited on the second tier of an open three tier glass TV stand. The 40" Samsung TV is on the top tier, and a bluray player and TalkTalk box are on the bottom. Certain male voices, mainly newsreaders, create a booming echo. I've tried various settings with the bass turned down but am unable to dampen down the resonance.

I would welcome advice on how to cure this problem. Apart from the newsreader problem the sound is very good.

Isn't the tv supposed to go on top of it?

 

[Miker]

Not necessarily. I can't place my TV on top of the DM50 as the TV's legs splay out and are too wide apart.

Next time you hear this booming from a news readers voice, put your hand under the glass shelf that the DM50 is sat on. There's a subwoofer on the underside right? You might need a wooden unit. Or at least a sheet of wood on that particular shelf.

 

[Miker]

Thanks. Will do. I did wonder whether the glass shelf was vibrating in sympathy. Rather than a piece of wood. does someone market a mat suitable for dampening down the vibration?

 

[Glacialpath]

I think there are some kind of mats that you can use. Have a scout through some of the other threads regarding hi-fi racks and stands, you might find something there. I would tell you myself but I don't know, sorry.

As an experiment, I'll place some plywood under the DM50 and see how it sounds. I'm away for a fortnight so I'll leave it until I return.
