IsoAcoustics GAIA-TITAN Neo Isolation Feet

ISOACOUSTICS GAIA-TITAN NEO LAUNCH

IsoAcoustics has announced the worldwide availability of the new IsoAcoustics GAIA-TITAN Neo isolation feet, designed for high-mass floorstanding loudspeakers and subwoofers weighing up to 620 lbs (280 kg).

The new IsoAcoustics GAIA-TITAN Neo  range is the successor to the original GAIA-TITAN Series and introduces redesigned isolation technology, integrated height adjustment and a revised housing intended to simplify installation.

ISOACOUSTICS GAIA-TITAN NEO ISOLATION FEET

Previously available only through selected OEM partners, the technology has been incorporated into Marten’s flagship Coltrane Supreme Extreme loudspeakers and JBL’s Summit Series. The worldwide launch makes GAIA-TITAN Neo available as an aftermarket product for owners of larger loudspeakers and subwoofers.

ISOACOUSTICS GAIA-TITAN NEO ISOLATION TECHNOLOGY

The GAIA-TITAN Neo range is designed to manage mechanical vibrations generated by loudspeakers and reduce their transmission into the supporting floor. Rather than using spikes to couple speakers directly to the floor, the isolators support the loudspeaker while managing vibration through their internal design.

Only the lower isolator makes contact with the supporting surface, limiting rigid vibration paths and reducing reflections back into the loudspeaker cabinet. IsoAcoustics reports that testing at the National Research Council of Canada found its isolation technology reduced cabinet vibration more effectively than spikes, while maintaining a consistent frequency response between 20Hz and 20kHz.

The redesigned isolator incorporates changes to its internal geometry, materials, profile, thickness and durometer, with the housing developed around the revised isolation system.

GAIA-TITAN NEO DESIGN AND FEATURES

Each isolator provides up to 8.5mm of integrated height adjustment, allowing users to level their loudspeakers on uneven floors. Installation is tool-free, with a top O-ring compressing as the isolator is tightened to create a secure connection while allowing alignment adjustments.

The revised housing sits close to the underside of the loudspeaker, removing the visible lock nut found on the original GAIA-TITAN design. The isolators can also pivot to maintain contact with floors that are not completely level.

Each set includes floor sliders to help position heavier loudspeakers during installation, although these should be removed once the speakers are in their final positions. Adapters for three common thread sizes are also supplied, with alternative sizes available through IsoAcoustics distributors.

THREE ISOACOUSTICS GAIA-TITAN NEO MODELS

The range comprises three models, each supplied as a set of four isolators and available in dark chrome or black.
