Learn how to install MOON flat cones under speakers for stable, isolated sound. Step-by-step guide with common mistakes to avoid.

Quick Answer

Install flat cones under your speakers with the flat side down, positioning them evenly near the corners for stable support and effective isolation.

Why Flat Cones Improve Speaker Isolation

Flat cones, like the MOON Cônes plats, decouple your speakers from the floor, reducing vibration transfer that can muddy the sound. Their flat bottom design provides a stable footprint, making them ideal for hard floors or carpet.

Unlike spiked feet that can damage surfaces, flat cones are safe for wood, tile, and laminate. They also offer a larger contact area, which can be more forgiving on uneven floors.

Step-by-Step Installation

Prepare the area: Clear the space around your speakers and place a soft cloth or mat on the floor to protect the surface and the cones during setup. Check that the floor area is level and clean before you begin.
Position the first cone: Take one cone and place it flat-side down on the floor, positioned near the front corner of where the speaker will sit. The flat bottom ensures stability. Ensure the cone is centered under the speaker's corner to distribute weight evenly.
Place the speaker on the cones: Carefully lift the speaker and lower it onto the cones, aligning the corners with the cones. Avoid sliding the speaker to prevent scratching the cones or the floor. Have a helper assist if the speaker is heavy to avoid injury or damage.
Repeat for all corners: Install the remaining three cones under the other corners of the speaker, ensuring each is flat-side down and fully supporting the speaker. Gently rock the speaker to check for any wobble; adjust the cones if needed.
Repeat for the second speaker: If you have a stereo pair, repeat the process for the second speaker, using the same positioning for symmetry. Ensure both speakers are at the same height and angle for balanced sound.
