 Acoustic
Sciences introduces the IsoDeck System, the non-rubber answer
to deck isolation. While rubber has long been regarded as
an excellent isolator, its density under load actually transmits
sound. At ASC, the industry leader in small room audio acoustics,
our goal is to improve your room acoustics. We engineered
our IsoDeck with a technical woven high density felt, the
only isolator that won’t transmit sound. Plus, we don’t
stop with just floating the deck on felt. We add WallDamp,
a visco-elastic damping material that stops vibration cold.
What you get with the ASC IsoDeck is superior isolation plus
vibrational damping.

How it Works
The natural process of sound vibration
creates friction and unwanted energy buildup through the bending
and slipping of adjacent surfaces. This in turn causes the
floor to add unwanted acoustic coloration to your room. The
IsoDeck isolates the floor, using a unique high density 1”
felt strip called a slot loaded spring, inserted into the
bottom of every joist to float the deck. The felt is lightly
glued into a 3/4” x 3/16” rabbeted groove.
The top of each joist is covered with
strips of damping polymer called WallDamp. Two layers of subfloor
rest on the joists, separated by squares of WallDamp. With
this system, even high power sub-bass energy is isolated and
rapidly dissipated. You get real sound isolation, reduced
floor resonance, and damping even when there’s thunderous
sound.
 Why
not Use Rubber Supports?
Consider your room as a
giant guitar body. It resonates at certain sound frequencies,
noticeable only when the volume is turned up. The floor helps
to propagate the room resonance, so we want to isolate it
with a deck. Rubber feet transmit sound, causing the deck
to bounce which in turn causes acoustic problems in your studio
or home theater. Conversely, the ASC IsoDeck floats on technical
felt which doesn’t transmit sound, there is no resonance.
This in turn actually improves room acoustics while effectively
isolating sound.
