Does anyone know if mid to heavy vibrations from sub woofers will damage mixers. i have a mackie d2 which has a tough outer shell. But my sub woofers packs so much punch that it makes my mixer vibrate when i touch it.

Wouldn't have thought it would be a problem. A decent mixer would be designed to withstand such conditions.

Long term damage shouldn't be an issue but short term negative effects such as needle skipping when playing vinyl make be a problem especially if using a warped platter or record.

If you really have excessive amounts of bass you should get some speaker spikes:


Best solution to avoid having the bass transferred from the subwoofer to the floor is to use


These eliminate nearly all sound transfer to the ground.

no damage at all!

It's spikes installed underneath your subwoofer that point downwards which you then set unto circular plates ;)
