IsoAcoustics Iso-Stand Series Speaker Isolation Stands with Height & Tilt Adjustment: Iso-130 (5.1" x 6”) Pair

I purchased these for use with my Harbeth P3ESR XD speakers for use on my desktop. I serve music via my computer through a PS audio Sprout. This combo takes listening to audio at your desk to the audiophile level. If you want to have the advantages of an Audiphile listening experience, but didn't want to invest tens of thousands of dollars, this is it. The Harbeth's fit perfectly atop the IsoAcoustics stands. They are a perfect match aesthetically, and look as if they were made for the speaker. They are solid and grip the speaker nicely without marring it. The stands put the speakers at a perfect level, and the sound is fantastic. The IsoAcoustics stands come with long and short rods. I use the shorter ones. The users manual isn't the best, but you eventually figure out how to put them together. I would say that the height isn't infinitely adjustable and you may find that there are some applications that may not be optimal. Mine happens to be perfect. Overall, this is a great product and has really added to my listening enjoyment on my desktop.

Used these with pair of Edifier near field speakers I use on my PC. The speakers were positioned on the desk and there was resonance when playing. The isolators did their job and I feel sound and imaging are improved. Worth the expense in my view. I liked all the configuration options that come with the basic kit. Nice that they are not a paid addon. Very pleased with visual look and audio results.

I like the design, modern and clean. I like the built quality, heavy metals, good plastics. I like the heavy weight for stability, they stay in place. I love the angle adjustments feature, to make it point perfectly at your ears. The offered a clean look, good isolation for my 3.5" PreSonus Eris monitors. No complaints here and yes I do believe they are worth it at this price... Good engineering of good quality products takes time, effort, skills and experience - all requires finances to produce and selling costs to ensure sustainability.

I am always skeptical of any audiophile-type accessory as the audiophile industry is full of snake oil. These IsoAcoustic stands are the real deal. They actually do what they promise, they isolate the speakers from the desk surface. Acoustic Isolation: The isolation eliminates the additional sound generated by the vibrating desk surface. They are not perfect at isolating the difference is massive, before I could feel the music in my desk, now I only feel the lowest notes at a much reduced amplitude. Stereo Imaging: The stands help eliminate reflections from the desk surface by lifting the speakers away from the desk surface. Combined with the acoustic isolation, this results in a significantly clearer stereo image. I was shocked listening to a YouTube video how localized the voice sounded. Pink Floyd's On The Run was much more immersive with these stands. The difference is large enough that I cannot attribute it to the placebo effect. Sonic Clarity: Music just sounds better now, more detailed and engaging. The instruments are less blurry and are more concise. Overall, the combined effects of these stands really does improve the experience of desk listening. Price ( - 1 STAR ): I saw a different review that stated that if these were priced around $40-$60 these would be a truly amazing no-brainer product. I agree, the price is only reason these are not 5/5 for me. The product is injection molded plastic with acoustic rubber inserts, and stock metal tubes, the cost of manufacture has to be minuscule per unit. The profit margin on these is HUGE. It is the audiophile tax and it is unjustified.

While these are targeted to studio professionals, they are a stellar addition for users that have desktop speakers and want to get them off the desktop to reduce nearfield reflections for woofers, and to get the tweeters up to ear level. They are pricey. But you get a substantial stand for the money that you are likely going to have forever. Recommended if you are trying to really get the sound right, in spite of working from a desktop.

This is my third set for a desk setup. Have then under subwoofers and front channel speakers in another set up. Work really well and sound improvement related to bass is exceptional.

This product is simply wonderful. Easy to assemble and gets your speakers to the correct height. When I'm sitting at the sweet spot in my mixing chair I can really hear an improvement over the entire frequency range. Keeps my desk from absorbing sound through the speaker's cabinets. Thought I was taking a gamble here, but now I wonder how I would have dealt with any other method of isolation or elevation of my speakers. Was pleasantly surprised to find that the tubes are made from a very well weighted and nicely finished metal. Awesome! Don't think so hard about this one. Do yourself a favor and just get a pair. Be sure to visit their website and use the provided dimensional calculator to aid you in selecting the correct size. I've included a photo of my Mackie CR3 speakers on their ISO-L8R 130's.

I used these stands at work years ago, in my edit suite, and finally decided to get a set for home. These easily raise my desktop monitors to a comfortable height, and allow me to angle them up slightly, to point directly at my ears. The sound stage at my home desk is now much improved, and I know from years of using these at work, they are solid and reliable. Works great for monitors with around 5-inch drivers, but I don’t know that I would go much bigger than that.

Después de años de utilizar soportes hechos personalmente, decidí invertir con cierto miedo por algunos malos reviews, para unas bocinas nuevas de Q Acoustics M20 HD que me llegaron al día siguiente. La medida fue idónea (que decidí por el peso de las bocinas y no según las recomendaciones de la página de ISO ACOUSTICS). Mucho más estable de lo pensado, elimina la resonancia del escritorio (de MDF de 2.5 cm) y al usar tubos cortos suficiente para mantener a la altura de los oídos, elimina reflexión del sonido del escritorio (80 cm de ancho). Definitivamente compraré otro juego para los monitores Yamaha.

ISO acoustic ISO-130, is absolutely awesome stands for studio monitors… helped me get rid of extra low end & my room started sounding better. It comes with multiple option for height adjustment, mine is on the smallest height as I have a wooden Shelve as u can see in the video

Al subir los monitores a la altura de los oídos se aprecian mucho más claramente las frecuencias medias y altas, y las bajas dejan de trasladarse a la superficie donde estaban apoyados. El modelo 130 es ideal para mis Rokit 4. Los que se quejan de que es mucho dinero para "unos trozos de plástico" no tienen ni idea de lo que supone el diseño de este soporte. En fin...

Stands isolate speakers well, but they're not the most aesthetically pleasing, nor does it have any fancy features. It has 1 job and does that really well. Would recommend.

I had a specific need to support tiny monitors (Yamaha HS3) without the surface plate being a larger area than the monitors. It's not easy to find such a thing, believe me. Haha! I eventually found the ISO-130's. I read a few complaints that the stand material is disappointingly 'plastic'. Having bought these for myself, I'm pleased to say that they look more like a plastic composite of some sort. Solid, rigid and dense. I use the shortest leg configuration with both extenders on front legs. For the money I am delighted with the material and finish. The isolator material (rubber bits) are easy to get back in if you should be unfortunate to have one pop out as some people report. Just push in as far as you can. Then press firmly against a hard surface (table top). Sustain hard pressure for 10 or so seconds. The isolator will ooze back into position. The ISO-130 fits Yamaha HS3's perfectly. I would have no hesitation recommending these for HS3 use. If only as a pretty stand. But sonically the improvement in use is remarkable. The sound isolation is palpable. Touching the worktop surface it is clear that much - if not most - vibration is removed. In use it is like hearing sound come from the air and not a desktop. Does that make sense? The isolators are extremely high-friction. That's wonderful. The stands are not going to move anywhere on the desktop soon by accident. Nor are your expensive mounted monitors - Or speakers if you wish. I have not experienced attitude or angle shifting of the stands. Though I appreciate some users have reported that. I imagine that if you are unfortunate in that way, then you could implement some 'venting' in the isolators to fix that issue. It would be irresponsible of me to describe that in detail. But you can work it out. I suggest nothing on that. Certainly not inexpensive. But priceless if fidelity is your thing. Marvellous.
