IsoAcoustics ISO-130 Speaker Isolation Stands Instruction Manual

Product Overview

The IsoAcoustics ISO-130 speaker isolation stands are designed to enhance the sound clarity and performance of your speakers or studio monitors. Utilizing patented isolation technology, these stands effectively decouple your speakers from the supporting surface, reducing vibrations and internal reflections that can compromise audio quality. With adjustable height and tilt options, the ISO-130 allows for precise positioning to optimize your listening experience.

• Height & Tilt Adjustment: Offers 14 variations of height and tilt to optimize monitor placement and focus tweeters to ear level.
• Patented IsoAcoustics Isolation: Tested at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), providing superior isolation performance.
• Reduces Vibrations: Isolators manage speaker energy to reduce vibrations resonating through the supporting surface, eliminating dissonant sounds.
• Minimizes Internal Reflections: Reduces internal reflections to eliminate smear, resulting in an improved stereo image with natural spatial sound.

Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the IsoAcoustics ISO-130 stands is straightforward. Follow these steps to set up your stands:

1. Identify the top and bottom frames. The bottom frames typically have a wider base for stability.
2. Choose the desired height for your speakers. Select either the short or long tubes provided.
3. Insert the chosen tubes firmly into the designated slots on the bottom frame. Ensure they are securely seated.
4. Attach the top frame to the other end of the tubes, pressing firmly until it clicks into place.
5. Place the assembled stand on a stable, flat surface.
6. Carefully place your speaker or studio monitor on the top frame of the stand.

Adjustments (Operating)

The ISO-130 stands offer versatile adjustment options to fine-tune your speaker's position for optimal sound. You can adjust both height and tilt to direct the tweeters towards your ear level, which is crucial for accurate sound reproduction.

• Height Adjustment: The stands come with different length tubes (short and tall) that can be interchanged to achieve the desired height. The low setting is 2.8” (71mm) and the tall setting is 8.25” (210mm).
• Tilt Adjustment: By using different combinations of the short and long tubes, you can create various tilt angles. This allows you to angle your speakers upwards or downwards to ensure the sound is directed precisely to your listening position.

Experiment with different height and tilt settings to find the configuration that provides the most accurate and immersive sound for your specific listening environment.
