IsoAcoustics’ ISO-L8R430 Stand is designed to support large speakers and studio monitors in both the professional and project studio environment. When speakers are positioned directly on a desk, console or standard speaker stand, sound transmission through the supporting furniture and into the floor tends to reduce definition at all frequencies. The ISO-L8R430 IsoAcoustics Stands are designed to decouple the speakers from the supporting structure and eliminates sound transmission, significantly improving definition and overall imaging.
