t.akustik ISO-Pad 7

I do not want to spend too much money buying products that I am not familiar with; hence, I bought these isolation pads because they are well-priced. I put these pads under my monitor speakers to isolate them from the bookshelves that they sit on. After testing them a few weeks by playing different kinds of music to observe the reduction of vibrations and resonance, I conclude that these pads have successfully decoupled my speakers from the bookshelves provide better sound. I noticed a big improvement when playing the percussion music with these pads under my speakers. The material of these pads is very light weight and it makes handling them easy. The two-piece design allows me to adjust my speakers with angled or purely horizontal position. This is very helpful as I may sit at different chairs with different height to listen to music in my room from time to time. This angle adjustment feature gives me the flexibility that I want. Overall, I am very happy with the performance of these pads. They honestly provided the isolation and flexibility for adjustment. I do notice that the two tags at the front were not hold in place by the glue properly. They fell off easily during my test. Originally I give these pads 5-star for its price and tilted feature but I decide to give them 4-star because the poor quality tags.

If you're considering these ISO-Pads, you've most likely had some experience with a pair of monitors at some point (or at least are thinking about buying your own). These pads sort of killed two birds with one stone for me since I had purchased some decent monitors and wanted to protect them for the metal surface of my monitor stands as well as isolate them to prevent unwanted noise.

There is a vocal group of people that say that this sort of isolation is just rubbish or simply not enough, but I'd beg to differ. Noticeably less vibration gets transfered downward into my stands, thus preventing any noise from moving parts that could potentially influence my impression of my mix. If true and pure sound is important to you, then you should definitely invest in acoustic isolation of some kind.

This is one solution. They're handy to have around and can be moved on short notice if need be. The angles that you can achieve with them are more than sufficient for a home studio.

All in all, it's just a convenient product to have on hand for the budding producer or musician with a taste for good audio quality.
