Auralex Acoustics ProPAD Studio Monitor Acoustic Isolation Pads, 1 Set

If quality sound is important to you, these stands do provide deeper soundstage, and finer resolution in the mid range, as claimed. I will also say the bass is slightly cleaner/tighter with more texture. I already had a pair of magical sounding floor speakers, but now they sound even better than before, so good investment for me. Yes, I'm using these for floorstanding speakers, which are 8 inches wide. My only request to the manufacturer is for them to make a pro pad version a little wider, like 9-10 inches wide, since the top layer on this model is more like 7.5 inches wide and not 8 inches as described in the manufacturer dimensions. I took off 1 star because the stands top layer is NOT 8 inches wide, as is described. The center piece, made out of mdf, where the emblem is located is 8" wide, but it's the top layer, which is what the speakers rest on.... Note: There is a ProPad XL version listed at 13" wide by 19" long, for those looking for a much larger version, but it's pricey! **UPDATE** 5/30/17 I have been really impressed with these stands after listening to lots of music, and movies. So mush so, I'm increasing my review to 5 STARS! BTW - match very good with Elac floor-standing speakers (easily handles the extra weight) in size and color..... Highly recommend!

I bought these back in 2013 and they are still in absolutely mint condition. I need it to purchase two more and I thought these would be the same as the ones that I purchased in 2013. I was very wrong. The quality is extremely poor on these. I should have read the recent reviews because they are valid. The glue on the rubber pads is falling apart and the vinyl piece that attaches to the phone was chipped around the corners. It was just extremely poor quality. I am not sure if this company has been bought over the years and obviously the quality isn't the same anymore. This company had an absolutely amazing product and somehow they managed to destroy the quality and reputation.

I had my speakers on some old built-ins and this was great for elevating them a bit and absorbing the vibration that would occasionally emanate from them. I have the matching sub one. It greatly improved the sound quality.

Terrific product. This vastly improved the response and clarity of my lows and mids on some infinity floor standing 363s. It supports them nicely (weighing in at a bout 45 lbs a piece) and looks phenomenal. I thought I might be buying in to snake oil but I was surely mistaken these worked a charm. Took my front channel speakers (and my 2 subs with the sub dudes highly recommend those as well) to the next level. Great purchase even if it is a bit pricey.

These Auralex platforms are a great low-cost tweak to a sound system if you have any issues with unwanted resonance/rattling or with bass presence. I wasn't sure they were worth the money, but they are. They're sturdy and are clearly made with good-quality materials. My Monitor Audio speakers are on a hardwood floor, and the built-in bases didn't supply any sound dampening. The Auralex platforms eliminated the occasional resonance I'd get with some frequencies, which was what I was really looking for. What I didn't expect, but got, was an improvement in overall sound quality. The bass in particular sounds more focused and clearer than before.

A well made, sturdy product. Has a rubber top over the wood base for the speaker to sit on while the foam bottom does what the proxy is suppose to do. Highly recommended.

When spending roughly $130 for essentially 2 pieces of foam and some MDF, you'd expect that they'd at least be made well... These? Not so much. They do their job, but the QC is terrible. I got these new in the box, and I could swear that they look like they have been used before. The logos on the front are scratched badly, and the MDF is also scratched in some areas too. The top of these isolators have a dense foam/rubber mat glued to the top of the MDF boards, and one of mine is severly crooked, making it hard to line up my speaker with the isolator. It's also kind of irritating looking at it while it's so crooked. When it comes to sound quality improvements, these are very good. The differences aren't as pronounced as the manufacturer will lead you to believe, and CERTAINLY not worth the asking price. The bass is more controlled, making everything sound more natural. When it comes to midrange and treble, I hear zero difference. Bottom Line: If the QC was better, and they were plated in gold, MAYBE they'd be worth the $130 I paid for them

Super disappointed that this is what Auralex is putting out. Aside from being unhappy from the damaged goods on arrival, it's clear that these are poorly constructed. Just a piece of particle board sandwiched with rubber and foam by way of a hot glue job done by a 5 year old. Even their own logo is haphazardly glued on.

ob die mopads oder die propads, auralex hat sich seinen namen wohl verdient. die propads sind absolute spitzenklasse in der monitor entkopplung. unter meine monitore kommt nur noch auralex. bei monitor auf tisch benutzung sind diese entkopplungspads sowieso pflicht, aber auch auf staendern verbessern sie die akustik ungemein.

Like a previous review from a few years ago, I ordered the Auralex ProPads and was surprised when opening the package that the hard rubber on top was very crooked, and so was the foam on the bottom. I was able to remove the hard rubber and put it back on straight. I didn't want to risk trying to remove the foam on the bottom, and it's less noticeable anyway so I left it as is. One of the logos had a little ding in it as well. Like the previous reviewer, I immediately wondered if Auralex had shipped seconds or B stock. For that reason I give it three stars. I considered returning them, but since I could fix the most noticeable defect, I kept them, as they still do the job they were intended to do. The bottom line for me is that I would hesitate to buy anything from this manufacturer in the future. The store they came from shipped them quickly and ahead of schedule.

Très bon produit mais présente de très nombres traces de colle, y compris sur la mousse. Donne l'impression d'avoir été manipulé sans soin à l'assemblage avec des mains tâchées de colle. Heureusement, tout est parti, en insistant un peu, avec un chiffon humide. Plutôt inacceptable pour un article de ce prix pour lequel, clairement, le prix découle plus de la qualité globale du produit que des matériaux utilisés. Mériterait 5 étoiles sans ce manque de soin.

.... für jeden Kompaktlautsprecher, egal wo ich ihn hinstelle. Verhindert durch gut recherchierte Entkopplung, dass Regale, Tische oder Sideboards mitrumpeln, dröhnen oder rasseln. Absolut rutschfest, auch auf einem Hochständer.

Heard the difference immediatly with my yamaha hs7's sitting on these, previously had the original mo pads but after a studio upgrade i wanted to really go premium and thought what the hell it's auralex and i love the mopads so it has to be nothing but improvment. I was right, great product
