Selected User Reviews For Studio Monitor Isolation Pads by Vocalbeat - Suitable for 3"- 4.5" inch Small Speakers - High-Density Acoustic Foam for Significant Sound Improvement - Prevent Vibrations and Fits most Stands - 2 Pads

These pads are of excellent quality and can When I placed them under Kali Audio LP-80, I discovered When I looked at the six monitors, I noticed that they were quite large, both in width and in I am unable to display them on my monitors because they exceed their width and length
5/5

However, they are of exceptional quality. There are a variety of height angles you can set up using the 2 different shaped pads. The foam is very dense. There is a brand name on these pads, but it is not labeled, so I just like the blank pages. You won't have to be concerned about a distracting label brand on the front of the pads. These pads are large enough to accommodate at least an 8 inch monitor, if and when I upgrade my monitors to larger ones. As a result, you pay 20 bucks and change for a very good quality monitor pad that will last you for many years when properly cared for,.

The implementation turned out to be better than I expected
5/5

give you a review of these Monitor pads like it's 1999, so sit back and relax for a moment as I reflect. Basically, I mix tracks as a means to On YouTube, just the tracks I've mixed with these bad boys (Yamaha HS8s) have gotten me like ten million views. As a result of that, as well as the demos I've recorded for professional song writers, and the master tracks I've mixed for myself and others, I know how to mix for different speakers, and how a mix will translate for different Honestly, what the hell even is a "demo" any more? The studio business has gotten so great for home studio owners that if you're good enough, you can make a lot of money. Having mastered it is a masterful experience. The mixes that come from "home studios" may even sound better than ones that come from studios with major labels. Certainly some major records ARE used a combination of tracks recorded at home and large recording studios etc. However, home recording stuff has come a long way since those old major records and many times is better than the major recordings of the past. They made some great tracks back in the day too, don't get me wrong. There are reports that Queens Bohemian Rhapsody was done on tape and the tape went CLEAR after they bounced the vocal parts so many times. My best guess is that they did not use pads for their monitors but they could have, depending on their mix. It is not always the equipment that makes a difference, but rather the artist and the talent. I have always been adamant about NOT spending 30 dollars for foam, so for a long time I was determined NOT to buy it. It just wasn't convincing enough to me that they were the missing secret ingredient that made my Grammy Award winning mixes so extraordinary. I have always been a cowboy for the most part, and I have relied on my talents, ear, and instincts to get a song done with whatever I had to hand. The most important thing is to do your best and it usually pays off. I have always been a person who gets by just fine with little, so I have always viewed these accessories as quite wasteful and expensive. Using nylon and a wire hanger, you can make your own popper stopper that works just as well as the ones they sell for $30 Are we talking about 50 bucks or more here? am convinced they went to great lengths to make their own popper stoppers for the Michael Jackson "We are the world" record they made in the past. There's a price tag on those AKG C-15s The system has twelve microphones as well. What I'm trying to say is this. If you still need other things that will help your mixes more, then don't limit your budget to items that won't really matter. Just put your money in things that matter the most. The cost for a single pair is just $30, but I know how quickly these things Foam on the walls does the same thing. Do not spend your money on moving blankets, etc. instead, put your money towards what truly makes a difference in your musical process, such as a good microphone and preamplifier. If Logic Pro X is powerful enough, then that would be the best software. It is a package of professional This is cubase. One is a graphics program. Use Reaper etc. and cover it with Waves and UAD plugs if you are not there yet. If you are strapped, just use folded towels under your monitors for now, and when you are over the important stuff, THEN move on to these kinds of things. Just be aware that some of the best recordings are made in cabins, and other crazy places where the acoustics and sounds are strange. For him to think of songs, it was almost like he was working with the wrong template, or soundscape. Recordings were always made in the same room, so he had become accustomed to its quirks. I have also seen this happen to Dave Grohl. As Sound City went out of business, he bought the Neve board from them and when they put it in his private studio, it did not sound exactly the same as it did when it was used at Sound City. Okay, that sounded ok to me. The disappointment was too much for me. I am attempting to illustrate that when you mix on your own stuff in your own environment, you become habituated to a certain sound. I've done that without the use of any pads. I've seen monitor pads in more than a few very high dollar studios, not to mention in some very stuck up studio owners' places, and I believe I put them somewhere along the lines of putting a mattress cover over your closet walls and considering it The pads almost seem like a gimmick, but they're not quite that. I just figured if your mixes suck, it's not because you don't have those The look nice, but I pride myself on not caring what people think, and I dislike things people push on audio people, so I didn't get them for a long time. I just figured I couldn't improve that horrible recording with audacity and nasty plug-ins. As for the positive side, if you have the right equipment set up in your studio to create, record, and mix your tracks at a high level, then feel free to invest in these pads because they really No doubt, there are many great artists and engineers who will truly appreciate these pads when mixing. There was an immediate difference in the quality of the music and each instrument sat better in its own space within the mix, instead of vibrating through the desk etc, which muddies up or interferes with the sound, even with certain frequencies that are imperceptible until it disappears. The pads helped to clean up the stereo field and helped improve the sound stage and articulation of the music as well. Honesty, I'm pretty surprised at these results. They have helped me a lot more than I expected. It's really cool that you can adjust these pads in a few different ways so that you can set your monitors at the ideal listening height and angle. Even that slight change will help me find out exactly what works the best for me over the next few weeks, but I'm going to keep making small adjustments to find out exactly what works for me. Lifting the sweet spot and listening to them differently have changed after a 5 to 2 inch lift. This is a good thing. There are good and bad things in life. This is a good thing in the sense that it is cleaner, but it will take some time for me to adjust to the changes. Suddenly the low end is tighter and gives you a better punch on the low end, and the bass line does not create any dissonance or vibrations that disrupt your mix or interfere with your ear. Thus, you get a cleaner sound, and your mix is cleaner as a result. If you don't have all of that mud and buzzing in the sound, it will let the midrange and top end shine through, so nothing is muddled or lost. I will have to continue looking into more of this stuff. It almost sounds like you're listening in a soundproofed room to some extent. My fascination with it is endless. It is totally something I would do again without hesitation, if it were possible. In that case, that should be telling. Obviously 30 bucks isn't going to make or break you, but for foam, it seems like a lot of money. It's safe to say we have all spent more than 30 bucks on overpriced crap before, What do you think of Apple? It's not that they aren't good products -- they are -- but the price for what you're getting seems out of line. That's the way I feel about this foam. Even though you want to get rid of them, you can't quite bring yourself to do it. It's like they owe me a sandwich or something, because the price was so high. My only complaint is that they should be 15 bucks, and that's why I was so slow to accept them. Since the pain has passed and the band-aid has been removed, I no longer have to wear it. That will be the last time I have to do it. At the end of the day. The product is great, it does what it says it will. It was a good decision. It is not magic, but after using them I wouldn't do without them and they give you just that little bit extra. ****Don't expect miracles, you still need to know how to mix a track, but having sound pads are something I wouldn't do without. My life would have been better if I had done it a long time ago, and I think you'll feel the same. Taking a shot at your tracks is my best wish. I am listening to music.

I love these pads so much! However, it is the small details that It's great to have these foam isolators! My Mackie CR3-compact disc player is held there One of my concerns is that the bass is moving away from the speakers
5/5

There are two main types of CR3s There are no more than three Xs, the barrier pad is extremely dense, and the X are ridiculously light. Thus, heavier speakers will sink into the foam only when heavily loaded. CR3's sit right on top of the CR4's and do not sink in whatsoever. On the pad, I can simply push the speakers around with my finger and they slide very easily. Neither the pads nor the foam are to blame for this, but if the front lip of the foam were raised even when flat, they would be excellent. Even without the front lip, these pads are of a very high quality no matter what. It's unbelievable how dense and strong they are. I will definitely buy another set of the pads when I get my new heavier and bigger KRK speakers.

There's no doubt about it
5/5

Two points each. First of all, isolation pads will help enhance and protect the quality of the sound that your speakers produce. In addition, I have found the Studio Monitor Isolation Pads from Vocalbeat to be superior to those made by As a general rule, I would say 25% better in terms of producing clearer, more detailed high frequencies as well as less muddy/controlled bass. It is a basic fact that all speaker cabinets vibrate, and their vibration is heavily influenced by the surface on which they are sitting, such as hardwood floors The negative effect of isolation pads is greatly reduced, if not eliminated entirely. There is an incredible difference between spiked speaker stands and isolation pads. If you have not encountered them, you will be amazed. Nevertheless, I think isolation pads are the most effective way to enhance the sound and musicality of your speakers and speaker system. It is easy to relate to this as someone who has been around home stereo systems for decades, using isolation pads on 6 of the 9 sets of speakers I own. You might try to get isolation pads for your speakers from Studio Monitor/Vocalbeat, and you might have to pay a little extra for them.

This is a great value for the price they support monitors up to 19 lbs and are very stable
4/5

The foam used before had soft spots and the speakers would sag or tilt into it because of the soft spots. My understanding is that these do not have that issue nor do they see themselves wearing out in the future. The foam is also nice because it does not have any logos. Besides the air occlusions on a few of the four pieces of foam, the only complaint I have is that they don't affect performance in any way or even the looks in normal use, but they do look a touch sloppy when you look at them naked.

It is perfectly suited to the PreSonus Eris E4 sound card
5/5

The system consists of five speakers and five monitors. I use the maximum height adjustment on my speakers, which allows me to place them over my computer screen and still have them angled to They are pretty much just regular foam just like all of the other "isolation" pads I bought, but I bought them to angle my Eris monitors, so I don't care about how well they isolate so much. There isn't much difference between different types of foam. This is because I am unable to have ugly-looking cut dimensions - therefore, I bought them purely for their cut dimensions The edge of my own foam pad with cut edges.
