IsoAcoustics GAIA Series Speaker Isolation Feet

The IsoAcoustics GAIA Series Speaker Isolation Feet are a game-changer for audiophiles seeking unparalleled clarity and performance from their speakers. Designed with IsoAcoustics’ patented acoustic isolation technology, the GAIA isolators minimize structural vibrations and attenuate reflections from hard surfaces, delivering a purer and more immersive soundstage. Housed in an elegant machined dark chrome metal casing, these isolation feet enhance both the sonic quality and aesthetic appeal of your setup. Perfectly engineered for floor-standing speakers and subwoofers, the GAIA series offers three models to accommodate different weight capacities and includes versatile thread adaptors for compatibility with most speaker brands.

IsoAcoustics GAIA  FAQ:

Q: Will the GAIA isolation feet work on all types of flooring?
A: Yes, the GAIA series is effective on all flooring types, reducing structure-borne vibrations and minimizing reflective sound interference. For thicker carpets, GAIA carpet discs are recommended for optimal performance and stability.

Q: How do I choose the correct GAIA model for my speakers?
A: Select the GAIA model based on the weight of your speakers or subwoofers. To ensure top performance, use the model with a weight capacity that exceeds your speaker’s weight by at least 10%. Do not exceed the specified weight limits.

Q: What direction should the IsoAcoustics logo face during installation?
A: For the best results, align the logo to face the listening position or rotate it 180° for alignment with the speaker’s motive forces. The direction does not matter for turntables or audio components.

Q: What if my speakers have side-firing woofers?
A: For speakers with side-firing woofers, orient the GAIA isolators to face the listening position for optimal performance.

Q: What thread sizes are included with the GAIA isolation feet?
A: The GAIA feet come with three standard thread adaptors:

• GAIA III: M6-1.0, M8-1.25, ¼”-20
• GAIA II: M6-1.0, M8-1.25, ¼”-20
• GAIA I: M8-1.25, M12-1.25, ¼”-20

Q: Can the GAIA series be used on speakers without threads?
A: The GAIA series is not recommended for speakers without threaded inserts. The OREA series is a suitable alternative, or threaded inserts can be installed, though this may risk speaker damage.

Q: Are the GAIA isolation feet compatible with stand-mounted speakers?
A: Yes, if the speakers are securely fastened to the stands, the GAIA feet can be installed. If the speakers rest on the stands without fastening, consider using IsoAcoustics OREA isolators instead.
