Insulation & Damping


All about insulation and damping

When all the speakers are in place after a long period of work, unwanted background noise often becomes noticeable when listening to music. The right damping materials eliminate this problem and absorb the vibrations. The top sellers in this category are: CTK MASTIC1 - Butyl anti-vibration damping paste, Vibrofiltr PRO 4.04 mm Alubutyl mat 10x (35 x 50 cm) black, STEG S7-II damping fleece. If you want to jump straight to the most popular brands, we recommend you take a look at: CTK, Vibrofiltr, STEG.

What is the difference between insulation and damping?

Insulation refers to door panels and other trim parts in the car and prevents these areas from rattling when the sound pressure is high. Good insulation is part of the basic equipment that should be installed with every sound upgrade. On the other hand, damping is often used in loudspeaker housings and prevents unwanted reflections caused by airborne sound, which contribute to a reduction in sound quality.

What materials are available?

Self-adhesive aluminum butyl mats are used to insulate car doors and other panels. This is a stable and heavy material that effectively absorbs the acoustic resonances of the speakers. Alternatively, foam mats are also suitable. Polyester wadding or sheep's wool is often used as a damping material for speaker cabinets.

How do I insulate my doors properly?

In any case, it is advisable to use aluminum butyl mats. In contrast to inexpensive bitumen mats, alubutyl does not need to be heated and is easier to install. The material is also extremely weather-resistant and has good insulating properties. The insulating mat is attached to the inside of the door. Hard-to-reach areas can be waterproofed against the vibrations of the sound system using an insulating paste.
