Abstract
Effective vibration isolation is critical for minimizing the transmission of unwanted mechanical energy from a source to its surrounding environment, especially in precision systems, where even minor disturbances can degrade performance. This study addresses the challenge of low-frequency vibration transmission in lightweight, high-sensitivity audio devices such as turntables with masses below 10 kg. Traditional vibration mitigation strategies—primarily based on increasing system mass to raise the resonant frequency—are unsuitable for such systems due to weight constraints and potential impacts on operational dynamics. Previous studies have identified a critical resonance range of 5–15 Hz, corresponding to the tonearm and cartridge assembly, where transmitted vibrations can compromise signal fidelity and cause mechanical degradation. This research aims to develop an effective and universal vibration isolation solution tailored for lightweight turntables, focusing on external isolation from structural vibration sources such as furniture and flooring. To achieve this, a two-stage experimental methodology was employed. In the first stage, the excitation method with the use of a hammer tapping machine was evaluated for its ability to simulate real-world vibrational disturbances. The most representative excitation methods were then used in the second stage, where the isolation performance of various materials and systems was systematically assessed. Tested isolation strategies included steel springs, elastomeric dampers, and commercial linear vibration isolators. The effectiveness of each isolation material was quantified through spectral analysis and transfer function modeling of vibration acceleration data. The results provide comparative insights into material performance and offer design guidance for the development of compact, high-efficiency anti-vibration platforms for audio turntables and similar precision devices.
