Elevating Audio Isolation for Floorstanding Speakers and Subs
The GAIA Neo series is the next evolution in IsoAcoustics’ award-winning line of speaker isolation feet. Building on the proven legacy of the original GAIA models, GAIA Neo introduces a series of advanced upgrades including seamless height adjustment, improved isolation performance, simplified installation, and a sleek modern aesthetic in black or dark chrome.
Designed to replace factory-installed feet or spikes, the GAIA Neo decouples the speaker from the supporting surface to eliminate distortion caused by vibrations and reflections. With GAIA Neo, unlocking the full potential of your audio system is easier than ever before.
Award-Winning Performance
The GAIA Neo Speaker Isolator was an Audio Award Winner 2025, Popular Science magazine. According to reviewer Tom Ware, "When it comes to testing floor-standing speakers, our space is tight. So when we actually find a pair worth sacrificing part of the floor plan, we want their sound to be tight, as well."
"The simplest, most instantaneous upgrade we’ve found, a fix far more economical than treating every problematic surface in a room, is IsoAcoustics’ GAIA NEO speaker isolation feet… They rein in energy loss and unleash imaging. Separating the speaker from the supporting surface, these screw-in accessories minimize distortion-generating vibrations and reflections, making an audible difference in bass definition and the here, there, everywhere-ness of dimensional cues. Yosi Harikawa’s “Bubbles” has never percolated so palpably."
"The Difference Was Not Subtle"
"The Neo line improves on the original GAIA design with a new isolator and several upgrades," observes Ken Micallef, Stereophile magazine, June 20, 2025
"At High End Munich… Dave Morrison presented a fascinating demo of the new isolation footers in a system that included two identical pairs of Marten Parker Trio Diamond Edition loudspeakers. Only one pair was outfitted with the new GAIA Neo footers. The difference was not subtle."
Patented Technology, Proven Performance
The GAIA Neo series builds on IsoAcoustics’ patented isolation technology with refinements that take performance even further. The GAIA Neo isolators offer increased isolation effectiveness, reducing internal reflections and mechanical vibrations with greater precision.
The GAIA Neo isolator is directional and designed to be aligned with the speaker’s drivers, helping to resist lateral movement and oscillations while maintaining accurate alignment with the listening position. By decoupling the speaker from its supporting surface, GAIA Neo reveals greater clarity, finer detail, and a more transparent soundstage with enhanced depth and realism.
Key NEO Upgrades
While the core isolation technology remains the same, the new NEO models offer an enhanced user experience and performance.
For seamless height adjustment, the GAIA Neo features a new system that allows you to easily adjust the height of the isolators by rotating the lower ring while the speaker is already in place. The isolator can be raised or lowered by up to 8.5mm (0.34″) without affecting its on-axis alignment. Simply rotate the lower ring to adjust. This simplifies balancing the speaker and allows for tilt angle control to optimize sound dispersion.
For simplified installation, the new models come with an integrated O-ring for a strong, flush-fit connection when screwed into the speaker's floorplate. The top of the isolator housing sits flush against the bottom of the speaker, with an integrated O-ring that compresses for a secure fit. Additionally, All GAIA Neo models now include Floor-Sliders to make it easy to reposition speakers on carpets or wooden floors.
Offering enhanced isolation, Neo continues to build on IsoAcoustics’ industry leading technology, providing even greater isolation. IsoAcoustics has optimized the internal isolators, which results in improved clarity, focus, and low-frequency definition.
The new models are available in two exquisite finish options Choose the deep, reflective sheen of dark chrome or the timeless, confident presence of black.
Stable Contact on Uneven Floors
Floors are often not perfectly level, and traditional rigid feet can struggle to sit flat. The GAIA Neo uses a bottom isolator that can pivot to maintain full contact with the floor even when the surface is slightly angled. This allows the speaker to remain stable and ensures consistent performance without rocking or compromised support.
Effortless Positioning with Floor Sliders
Floor Sliders are the perfect companion for your GAIA Neo isolators, allowing you to easily reposition your speakers or audio equipment after installation. Designed to work directly on carpeted flooring, the sliders can also be used on hard surfaces by applying the included adhesive felt pads.
This dual-surface flexibility ensures smooth movement whether you’re setting up on carpet or solid floors. Simply slide the speakers into place, then tilt one side at a time to remove the sliders once the final position is set.
Superior Isolation by Design
With some isolation feet, the metal housing rests directly on the floor, creating a rigid path for vibrations to travel regardless of what is inside. The GAIA Neo is different. Only the lower isolator makes contact with the surface, so vibrations are not transmitted through the housing. This design provides a controlled path for energy to dissipate, resulting in greater clarity, openness, and focus.
