Would this work to shield monitor speakers?

Thanks everyone for your input. Mild steel it is. I will find a way to make it look good.

Naked Ladies it is. That cements it, I hafta get me a "Crazy Stripper Wife"

On the metal they will be holding...


I found an extremely old and beat up vintage gas pump that has 2 easily detachable side panels. (They are damn near 3/32'' thick, btw) I am thinking of having t6he panels cut down and sandblasted, then bending and painting the sandblasted pieces. Would that qualify as "mild" steel?


...or would I just be better off buying some metal to shield my Tannoy PBM 6.5's?


(Insert your own comment here about what else my fantasy Crazy Stripper Wife could hold. What the hell, we are already in the gutter, let's wallow.)

High magnetic permeability becomes less important as the shield gets thicker. 3/32" of regular steel should be fine. Larger radius bends also helps contain the field within the shield.

or you could just open up your monitor enclosures and surround each of the magnets with this steel. that's how it's normally done by manufacturers. keep about a 3/4" gap between the magnet and the shield. the trick, of course, is making a circular shield, and mounting it somehow.

Thanks for the tip, I may try it when I am feeling adventurous someday, but right now I am ascared to open up, unscrew, or molest in any way my monitors.

Now, if I can just find a quicker way of getting GOOD at this.....
