The first two parts of isolation have been addressed by many companies and there are known technologies that work well. Spiking a speaker or putting it on a speaker stand is one easy way to isolate it from the floor which in almost all cases will offer big sound improvements. IsoAcoustics looked at a third aspect no one had really thought about. Think of this example. You attach a steel pipe to a concrete wall with a plate. This is akin to a spike on a speaker. If you bang the pipe with a mallet the vibrations will go down the pipe, enter the wall and reflect back up the pipe. IsoAcoustics wanted to address the vibrations that reflect back into the speaker or components from the surface it is sitting on. They found through testing at the NRC these reflections coming back into a speaker had a pretty big impact on the sound. Through laser testing they discovered the reflections actually caused the cabinets of the speakers to oscillate. The tests were really interesting in that for the control test, they hung a speaker on bungee cords to isolate it, then compared it with sitting on spikes, nothing and using their products. If you are geeks like us, they have a pretty interesting white paper called IsoAcoustics Technology Explained.

The very first thing to remember is you need to match the weight of your component up with the correct isolation stand or puck. You may see a series of stands and think the more expensive ones would be better, but that may not be the case if your speaker or component does not match up with the weight the IsoAcoustics stands are designed for. In discussing with IsoAcoustics and looking at their performance graphs, it seems you get the best performance if the weight of your gear is about 10-25% less than the maximum weight limit.

We hope this guide gives you some insight as to which award winning patented isolation design from IsoAcoustics is best for your system. We find adding tweaks like these to an existing system are really fun as you can immediately hear the improvement and you are doing an upgrade without having to replace or sell anything!
