The ISO-430 isolation stand, measuring 17" (430 mm) wide by 9" (230 mm) deep, is designed for studio monitors, guitar, bass, and other instrument amplifiers weighing up to 100 lbs. As part of the latest generation of IsoAcoustics stands for professional audio, it updates the popular ISO-L8R series with a lower profile, a new frame design, and an advanced isolator for improved performance. Featuring up to 6.5 degrees of tilt adjustment, the ISO-430 allows precise positioning to bring monitors to ear level, while IsoAcoustics’ patented isolation system delivers superior decoupling from the supporting surface. This design keeps all energy aligned with the listening position, resulting in greater clarity and focus.

Optimize Speaker Placement and Focus

An important aspect of the speaker stand design is the ability to optimize its position relative to the listener, eliminate soundwave reflections off the supporting surface and focus the speakers to ear level. In a typical Desktop Audio Workstation (DAW) configuration, the listener is positioned 3 to 4 feet from the monitors with ear level approximately 20″ above the work surface. Raising and tilting the monitors to the optimum position can be achieved in these circumstances using the IsoAcoustics ISO Stands.

Exciting the Supporting Surface

The isolators manage the energy of the speaker to reduce vibrations resonating through the supporting surface to eliminate dissonant sounds in the listening area or joining rooms.

Reducing Internal Reflections

Internal reflections are vibrations reflecting back up the speaker cabinet which causes smear. Smear is a result of artifacts replicated in both channels which are perceived to be in the middle, causing the stereo image to collapse. The IsoAcoustics isolators reduce internal reflections to eliminate smear. The result is an improved stereo image of natural spatial sound.
