 IsoAcoustics Iso-Puck 
Iso-Pucks are round acoustic isolator pads made from a flexible but sturdy, hard rubber material. A little smaller but thicker than a hockey puck, they measure 1.18 inches (28mm) tall by 2.4 inches (60mm) in diameter. They are useful anywhere a low profile layer of extra isolation is required to decouple vibrational sources from shelves, floors, or household furniture. You can use them under: monitor speakers, turntables, subwoofers, guitar and musical instrument amplifiers or DJ mixer setups. For example, decoupling vibrating loudspeaker cabinets from the floor will prevent sympathetic (and usually annoying) vibrations, buzzes and creaks when certain frequencies (notes) are played.

Their round shape makes them flexible enough to be positioned easily such as the narrow spaces atop a recording studio's console meter bridge or on a home studio's desk monitor speaker shelf. A single Iso-Puck is rated at a maximum load of 20lbs (9kg) and three or more can be combined to support the heaviest of monitors or equipment racks.

Iso-Puck's multi-sectional construction allows them to isolate and manage the energy exactly like IsoAcoustics' Aperta 200 Speaker Stands I use here at my Tones 4 $ Studios. Both products use a flange suction cup on their top surface that adheres to the bottom of the monitor's cabinet to resist lateral side-to-side movement. I live in earthquake country here in Los Angeles and it is reassuring to know that my monitors resist sideways motion as they sit on a pair of Aperta 200 mounts.

 IsoAcoustics Iso-Puck Under The Subwoofer at T4$ Studios  
I've deployed four Iso-Pucks under my subwoofer that's placed on my hardwood floor. The sub weighs 27.3 pounds and, before isolation, certain low frequency bass notes caused a couple of the planks in the floor to vibrate and buzz. Now with the sub resting on only the four Iso-Pucks, the buzzing is totally gone plus the subwoofer seems to stick to the floor and doesn't easily slide around anymore.

This is a big improvement and the Iso-Pucks add a great finishing touch to the 'look' of the subwoofer. IsoAcoustics' Iso-Pucks come in 2-Packs that sell for $59 MSRP. For more information, check: www.isoacoustics.com/iso-puck/.
