General Guidelines
The Auralex Acoustics PlatFoam™ Isolation System
For superior acoustics, Auralex suggests floating a drum riser with PlatFoam Isolation Planks. Each plank is
designed to be used like a 2” x 4” “sleeper” sometimes recommended by (expensive) acoustical consultants
in professional studios. To fully benefit from your new Hoverdeck, please use the following guidelines:
D. Place a carpet (or other
flooring) on the decking and your
drum kit is now well isolated from
your floor.
C. Affix the PlatFoam™ to your decking with
our Tubetak™ adhesive in an “S”- shaped
pattern (see picture above). Suggested
amount is 4 tubes per box of PlatFoam™.
B. Space the Platfoam planks every 4” as shown in the picture and the diagram above. If you are using 4’x8’
decking, you should inset the two outer planks two inches for equal spacing.
A. Chose a decking material (MDF board, particle board, plywood, etc.). One
box of PlatFoam™ is designed to “float” an 8’x8’ drum riser.
