Gasket: Sealing and Damping in Speaker Installation

Rubber gaskets are one of the most commonly used gaskets in audio devices. Depending on their composition (natural or synthetic), these gaskets have reasonable elasticity and resilience. In speaker systems, rubber gaskets are used to seal gaps between components to eliminate sound leakage as well as mechanical vibrations. Furthermore, rubber gaskets have the capability to dampen vibrations thereby improving the sound quality of audio devices. Since rubber is available in many shapes, hardness levels and configurations, bespoke audio systems can be catered to. The low cost of rubber gaskets makes them readily available for the professional market as well as the consumer market.
