The ISO-430 Isolation Stand from IsoAccoustics features a 17" width x 9" depth and is designed for studio monitors, guitar, bass, and other instrument amplifiers weighing up to 100 lb. An updated version of the popular ISO-L8R series, this stand offers a lower profile, updated frame design, and an upgraded version of isolator for improved performance. The ISO-430 provides tilt adjustments up to 6.5° allowing you to easily focus your monitors to ear level, and its patented isolation system provides superior isolation and decoupling from the supporting surface. Additionally, the stands are biased to keep all energy in alignment with the listening position, providing greater clarity and focus.
 
Optimized 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 configuration, the listener is positioned 3 to 4' from the monitors with an 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 stand.
 
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 isolators reduce internal reflections to eliminate smear. The result is an improved stereo image of natural spatial sound.
