The Auralex SubDude(HD) is a 15" x 15" x 2.5" platform wrapped with a cleanable black velour to fit any room setting. Its purpose is to prevent sound from transmitting through your subwoofer to surrounding surfaces.

Subwoofers create big vibrations (low frequencies) that you can feel in the floor and in objects placed nearby. Now you have two (or more) objects vibrating, which creates an acoustical problem called “secondary resonance”. The SubDude effectively reduces secondary resonance by decoupling your subwoofer from the floor so you hear your subwoofer and not the vibration of the other objects in your listening environment.
Decoupling your subwoofer means separating the connection between the speaker and the floor. The result is a cleaner response in the low frequency range meaning less boom, more punch and improved accuracy. Sound Isolation is also improved by reducing structural resonance.
