Adam Hall Stands PAD ECO 1 - Isolation Pad for Studio Monitors 170 x 300 mm

I bought these little beauties to separate my Klipsch The Fives speakers from 2 solids wood speaker stands. The result has been excellent, no more sound resonating through the desk. The speakers are isolated now and that means cleaners sound and tighter low end frequencies. These are dirt cheap, they look good and they do their job. 5 stars for me.

My studio monitors sit on a hollow, lightweight desk which definitely reverberates even at a modest volume. After doing a little research, adding some purpose designed isolation seemed like a simple and effective way to improve the sound quality. Sound was already good, but a little better would be nice.I am pleasantly surprised at how effective these pads are. The main improvement I would say, seems to be in the mid-range where instruments and some audio effects have cleaned up, resulting in more detail where it counts. That seems to allow the monitors to be driven a little harder which firms up the lower end and provides a little more sparkle at the top. So as system improvements v. cost go, these provide very good value for money.One thing I don't understand. Most people probably need to angle monitors upward slightly for best performance. But to do that, these (and other makes of pads) need to be turned back to front to achieve this ie foam upstand and logo at the back. No big deal, but I would have thought the preferred orientation would be upstand (and logo) at the front.

I needed cheap and effective monitor isolation pads to elevate my home studio monitors for added professionalism for my mixing projects. I saw this product on Amazon and decided to purchase based on the price and the good reviews. The delivery was prompt and came in nice packaging. I tested out the product immediately and done the relevant tests. The pads are good in preventing vibration from penetrating through your hard surface on which your monitors are placed on. The pads are not the best in the world as the sound is still penetrating down to the hard floor in my studio room however for the price I can't complain. I will be using these pads for the time being until I can afford to purchase something a bit more effective. Overall a good product and a decent price.

I have just opened the item from its packaging and I have to say it’s beautifully cut and well formed. Super thick and hopefully it will do the job of isolating the deep base transference from my Sonos 5 speakers which are currently sitting on my kitchen island. I now have the two foam stands back to back with one of the play 5”s sat on top. I will give an updated review once I turn up the volume tomorrow and consult with my neighbors below to see if it has done the trick! I hope it resolves the issue as they are a lovely couple and I love my music loud and at the same time want to minimise any disturbance to my neighbors below. If so I’ll order another one for my 2nd play 5 in my bedroom. Watch this space!As promised this is now the update - Sunday evening. I’ve had my nieghbour’s move from room to room whilst the play 5”s have been on exactly the same sound levels and one has the foam and one doesn’t. Then I cranked the speakers up to 3/4 and then max - believe me it’s loud!! Very loud. At 3/4 they couldn’t hear the bass with the sound mat in the kitchen but could in the bedroom without it. At max they were begging me to turn it down as it was making their glasses visibly shake!!They said it’s noticeable how the different it was with and without the mat so on that basis I can conclude that it’s the best solution to the issue. I think a 10/10 is in order and I’m about to place my second order for the bedroom. Happy nieghbour’s are my priority! :)

Turns my wonderful Kanto YU4's (that have to sit in a restricted IKEA bookshelf unit) into an open, free soundstage. I couldn't be more pleased, only baffled that I didn't get them in the first place. Value for sound quality improvement is stunning, improves vinyl, streaming TV/audio and CD equally, you will hear new things and all things better.

They don't really absorb bass freq or isolate the speakers

I can't actually notice any difference to the sound in my room with or without them.

It's made well nice smooth edges no jagged ends. I brought speakers with lots of bass and there's no rattles through desk. Not done a comparison with and without stands but it's doing it's job. Only problem I have if you want an upwards angle you need to turn the stands around. There's no logo on back.
