INTRODUCTION

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 II 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. The GAIA III provides a high degree of isolation while resisting lateral movement and oscillations to maintain alignment with the listening position. 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 III includes thread adaptors for sizes M6-1.0, M8-1.25 and ¼”-20. Alternative thread size adaptors are available upon request through IsoAcoustics distributors.

THREAD SIZES

Thread sizes for all speakers

GAIA isolators come with thread adaptors for the 3 most common thread sizes which fit the majority of speakers. Alternative thread sizes are available upon request through IsoAcoustics distributors.

TECHNOLOGY

Patented isolation technology

GAIA isolators are made from a high quality stainless steel construction, incorporating the IsoAcoustics design philosophy that combines precision and a passion to deliver extraordinary acoustic results.

GAIA I Carpet Spikes

Package includes : 4 units

Dimensions (WxH) : 2.0″ x 0.9″ (52mm x 22mm)

Spike length : 0.6″ (15mm)

Material : Stainless Steel

How to install GAIA Carpet Disks

Tilt the speaker or subwoofer to raise the GAIA’s above the ground, then position the carpet spikes underneath the GAIA’s and lower the side back down. Repeat the process on the other side by tilting the other side of the speaker and position the Carpet Disks underneath the GAIA’s before lowering the speaker back down.

You might need to raise and lower each side of the speaker again until the carpet spikes are positioned level on the ground and are properly aligned underneath the GAIA isolators.

The carpet disks installation is the final step. The carpet disks should not be installed until after the GAIA’s are installed and the speaker or subwoofer is in its final position.
