Cat-proofing your speakers...


Looking for ideas for large floor-standing boxes. Must completely protect front drivers and all exposed sides from sharp claws, but not veil the sound. Good WAF a plus!

so much responcses and nothing concrete.look for bigge ror even better for smaller yg acoustic named kit-kat or kit-pod(not remember exact name at the moment) in silver finish. their sound is not veiled, they have very unusual and unfortabile top up to level not to even consider jump on top(from cat perpective), a anodized aluminium is very resisitive to scrach if any and is worst material which can actract to sharpen his nails.

good luck
Lets talk ""MINE FIELD"".......yes,surround the speakers with mice traps for the first wave,then a Catapiller battery set on some chicken wire for the second wave and finally(you will like this one) a infrared laser light trigger that when breached sets off a ultra high pitch that will send all animals a running!!!!!!!
OR Train it to stay away
If anyone comes over my house you would never smell a cat a dog or a bird, all coexist in my home.
Guys,
Stop this nonsense already. A member has asked about catproofing his speakers, and you give him all these silly ideas.
In all seriousness, here is the ONLY thing, that works.
You will have to spray the grills of your speakers with the OTHER cat's urine- that will stop YOUR cat from approaching the speakers.
The first spray usually is good for about 6 months, and then you'll have to re-spray every 3-4 months, or so.
You will get used to the smell fairly soon, but your cat won't, and so won't your visitors.
Some urines work better, than the others. One of the Mongolian Hi Fi mags published a review, comparing different species, but I cannot recall now, which one came out on top.
yeah, four cats here, no smell.

and as to what sprink mentioned - the feliway - i will say that we have a couple of the "diffusers" (feliway comes in several different forms) and they are incredible in their ability to chill the cats out. they do minimize - probably eliminate, but i won't make that claim to be safe - scratching. in fact, every time i notice the beginning of naughty cat behavior i check the feliway bottle and sure enough, it's out of liquid.

they're expensive, though, that's the problem. so i would definitely try the spray around a pair of speakers, the diffusers are magic.
