Wall shelves are recommended by many audio
enthusiasts for mounting turntables in rooms having
floors supported by wood joists. Since little vibration
is transferred between floors and walls,
the wall mount provides a much more stable alternative
to traditional floor stands. The Sound Footing
dedicated turntable shelf systems are
our complete solutions for wall-mounting your turntable.
Elegantly designed and beautifully crafted from robust
natural materials, these are turntable shelf
systems of uncompromising performance.
Pictured here in oak with clear finish, the
bracket and wood shelf are available in oak, maple, or
cherry. The brackets are solid wood, with hidden
mounting fasteners (see photos). The shelf has an MDF
core with real wood veneer for superior stability. Using
a full shelf tie-in to the brackets provides superior
lateral stiffness compared to a skeleton framework.
Combined with the inherent vertical strength and
stiffness of the hardwood brackets, the result is an
incredibly stable support. This
shelf system is
conservatively rated for 250 lb.
capacity when properly fastened to wall studs.
A heavy granite platform rests above the wood shelf to
provide an ideal surface upon which to set your
turntable. The 1.25" thick polished granite platform can
be precisely leveled on the 1/4"-20 nylon-tipped steel
screws, which are easily adjusted from under the wood
shelf with an allen wrench (provided). The heavy granite has
large inertia to resist
vibration, and an extremely flat surface (better than
0.0003"). The grain of the granite complements the wood
of the shelf and brackets beautifully. Turntables of any
style will look great on this shelf system.
If a decoupled platform is preferred (rather than
direct coupling between the shelf and platform as
described above), we offer an isolation layer as an
accessory. This is an additional wood /MDF shelf with
steel disc inserts which rest on the leveling screws. An
array of Sorbothane
hemispheres are affixed to the shelf with
pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the granite platform
rests upon the hemispheres. This provides excellent
vibration isolation of the granite platform and
turntable from the wood shelf support. With proper
loading of the Sorbothane hemispheres, the system natural
frequency is well below the audible, so that excellent vibration
isolation is achieved throughout the audible
frequencies. Additional information regarding the
isolation layer and recommended setup for proper
isolation can be found
here. This
accessory is available in all three wood finishes, and
it can be added to the shelf system at any time.
