About GAIA 1

speaker isolators

GAIA I isolators provide improved sound clarity and openness for floor standing speakers and subwoofers weighing 220 lbs (100KG) or less.

GAIA I isolators are finished with a machined stainless steel housing with an elegant dark chrome finish. Incorporating IsoAcoustics patented design principles, the GAIA I provides a high degree of isolation while resisting lateral movement and oscillations to maintain alignment with the listening position. Internal reflections from the hard-supporting surface are attenuated resulting in greater sound clarity and openness. The GAIA I will reveal clarity and openness from your speakers like you’ve never heard.

The sound stage blossoms to open up a three-dimensional image of natural, spatial sound.

INSTALLATION


How to install

GAIA isolators

Optimal results are achieved by installing the GAIA isolators with the logo facing the listening position, or rotated 180 degrees, to align the isolators with the speaker’s motive forces. Lift and place the speakers into position as the GAIA lower isolators will adhere to the supporting surface.

The GAIA’s are threaded into the base of the speaker or subwoofer to replace the existing spikes or feet. Threading the GAIA’s into the base of the speaker creates a strong connection with the speaker. With the top of the GAIA housing connected with the speaker and the bottom of the GAIA connected to the supporting surface, all of the energy is then managed by the GAIA’s internal isolator.

The GAIA I includes thread adaptors for sizes M8-1.25, M12-1.25 and ¼”-20. Alternative thread size adaptors are available upon request through IsoAcoustics distributors.

THE TECHNOLOGY

GET YOUR SPEAKERS TO
PERFORM AT THEIR BEST

The IsoAcoustics award winning patented isolation design manages the energy of the speaker to provide the best speaker performance.

The effectiveness of the isolation is a result of the shape, thickness, durometer and characteristics of their proprietary isolation material and the way the top and bottom isolators function together with the internal insert to manage vibrations.

Managing energy on-axis

IsoAcoustics stands are directional and designed to be positioned with the logo facing in the same direction as the motive forces of the speakers. As a result, they manage the energy on-axis as opposed to homogenous materials that allow the speakers to oscillate in all directions. This method of managing the energy provides a high degree of isolation, improved sound clarity, focus and openness.

Connection to speaker and supporting surface

IsoAcoustics products are designed to connect to the base of the speaker and to the supporting surface so that the energy is effectively managed by the internal isolators. The shape of the isolators creates a suction cup effect on smooth surfaces or provides a strong friction grip if the surface is textured.

IsoAcoustics offers a variety of models, each tuned for different weight ranges. The weight limits specified by IsoAcoustics are based on the performance curve. The performance of the isolation is declining as the weight approaches the specified weight limits and performance decreases more the further the weight limit is exceeded.

“...instruments and voices were more precisely defined on the soundstage, which itself was wider and higher. A Remarkable Product.”

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

Harry Weisfeld

Founder, VPI Industries 

“Installing the GAIA isolators on my KEF Blades gave the biggest improvement in sound I have ever heard on the system. Better than changing cables or electronics, the noise floor was lower, the focus was better, and the bass went deeper. All around a total success.”

John Storyk

Founding Partner of WSDG

“As we have seen in a number of our installations using other IsoAcoustics mounts, the WSDG team was very impressed with the improved clarity, imaging and time domain improvements that the Gaia 1 isolators provide. I expect to see more of these packages become a “required option” for larger floor mount monitor systems in our rooms.”

Michael Romanowski

Grammy nominated mastering engineer

“I've most recently been using their new product, the Gaia Titans, which have exceeded my expectations. The Titans decouple my speakers from the floor, which serves to remove unwanted resonances -- resonances that could otherwise cause timing issues and cloud the "presentation".”

Nick Squire

Head Recording Engineer, Boston Symphony Orchestra

“We have them paired with the already phenomenal B&W 802D speakers -- Somehow, these isolators are able to make these truly amazing speakers sound even better! The low end is clearer and more defined, there is an increased sense of depth, and the imaging is even more amazingly precise. Truly incredible!”

Streaky

“It sounds so much better – so good – the low mids sound AMAZING…”

Ron Oliveira of TX, USA

“… I was hearing detail I had never heard before. And this is an album I’ve played dozens of times on a high resolving system. The crowd noise and the clinking of glasses from this live album had me in the room with them. Very cool! I played music for hours last night.”

Mike Zay

“Just received the IsoAcoustics GAIA III! I was a little skeptical, not cheap when ordering these, but WOW what a huge difference in sound quality! Just when I thought my Focal Chora 826 couldn't sound even better, I was wrong & well worth the money.”

Palle G

Denmark

“… I simply have to express my experience with the GAIA-Titan Theis ... I installed them yesterday, and it’s fair to say that it’s by far the biggest upgrade per dollar I have ever made. IsoAcoustics have a big fan in me, and I honestly think there should be a law against selling high-end loudspeakers without GAIAs.”

Rick Breitstein

Montclair, NJ

“… my jaw dropped. They sounded like different speakers. The sound stage opened up, but mostly the instruments seem to float in the air with improved detail and sounded more 3-D. … One of the best investments I’ve made in a long time.”

Bruce C“Having the Gaia's on all my speakers in my AV/setup is shocking because of how dramatic a change they make. At the risk of making a pun, it really elevates the sound stage. It was immediate the change and just a complete immersive experience.”
