Product Description
ISOAcoustics ISO-130 Isolation Stands for Studio Monitor Speakers with Height and Tilt Adjustment Size 5.1"x6" in Black with 20 lbs Weight Capacity - Set of 2
Transform your studio monitoring with the IsoAcoustics ISO-130 Isolation Stands. Designed to enhance the accuracy of your existing studio monitors, these stands utilize IsoAcoustics’ PIF (Placement, Isolation, Focus) principles to deliver tighter bass, improved stereo imaging, and a more precise audio experience. The sleek, low-profile design and advanced isolators offer exceptional isolation and adjustment features, making your monitors perform beyond expectations.
The ISO Stands is the latest generation of IsoAcoustics stands designed for studio monitors. The ISO Stands are an updated version of the popular ISO-L8R series and features a lower profile, new frame design and a newer version of isolator for improved performance. The ISO-130 isolation stands are the smallest stands within the ISO Stands family. Offering 14 variations of height and tilt, the ISO-130 will help you optimize the placement of your monitors and bring your tweeters to ear level. The IsoAcoustics patented isolation system provides superior isolation and decoupling from the supporting surface. The stands are biased to keep all energy in alignment with the listening position, providing greater clarity and focus.
Optimize speaker placement and focus
An important aspect of the speaker stand design is the ability to adjust the height and tilt angle of the supported speaker enclosure to optimize its position relative to the listener and eliminate soundwave reflections off the supporting surface.
In a typical Desktop Audio Workstation (DAW) configuration, the listener is positioned 3 to 4 feet from the monitors with 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 IsoAcoustics stands
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 IsoAcoustics isolators reduce internal reflections to eliminate smear. The result is an improved stereo image of natural spatial sound.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide for ISOAcoustics ISO-130 Isolators:
What You Need:
- ISOAcoustics ISO-130 isolators
- Your speakers or monitors
- A flat, stable surface (desk, shelf, or stand)
- Unbox the ISO-130 Isolators:
- Carefully remove the ISO-130 isolators from their packaging. Ensure that all components are included, such as the isolators, the tubes, and the short and long inserts for adjusting height.
- Assemble the Isolators:
- The ISO-130 isolators come with two height options:
- Low Profile: Use the shorter inserts.
- Higher Profile: Use the longer inserts.
- Insert the appropriate height tubes into the isolator frames according to your desired height. Ensure they click securely into place.
- Adjust the Tilt Angle (Optional):
- If you want to angle your speakers or monitors:
- The ISO-130 isolators allow for tilt adjustment to optimize the speaker's direction towards your listening position.
- Rotate the top frame of the isolator to achieve the desired tilt angle (up to 6.5 degrees).
- Set the tilt to direct the speaker’s sound directly towards your ears for optimal performance.
- Position the Isolators:
- Place the assembled ISO-130 isolators on your chosen surface. Ensure the rubber feet on the bottom are making full contact with the surface to maximize isolation.
- Place the Speakers on the Isolators:
- Carefully place your speakers or monitors on top of the ISO-130 isolators.
- Ensure the speakers are centered and balanced on the isolators for stability.
- Check for Stability:
- Lightly press on the top of the speakers to ensure they are securely positioned and not wobbling.
- Fine-Tune Placement:
- Adjust the position of the speakers on the isolators if necessary to aim them directly at your listening position for the best sound.
- Test the Setup:
- Play audio through your speakers to test the setup. Listen for improvements in sound clarity, bass response, and overall imaging. Adjust the tilt or positioning if needed.
Additional Tips:
- Isolation: Ensure that the isolators do not touch any other objects that might transmit vibrations.
- Speaker Size Compatibility: The ISO-130 isolators are designed for smaller speakers or monitors (up to 20 lbs or 9 kg). Make sure your speakers are within this weight range.
By following these steps, you’ll successfully install your ISOAcoustics ISO-130 isolators, providing better isolation for your speakers and enhancing the overall sound quality.
