GAIA III is designed for floorstanding speakers and subwoofers weighing up to 70 lbs. (32 KG). The small compact design delivers unbelievable acoustic isolation that will bring out clarity and openness from your speaker like you’ve never heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe soundstage blossoms to open up a three-dimensional image of natural, spatial sound.

Optimal results are achieved by installing the GAIA isolators with the logo facing the listening position, or rotated 180 degrees, to align the isolators with the speaker’s motive forces. The GAIA III provides a high degree of isolation while resisting lateral movement and oscillations to maintain alignment with the listening position. Lift and place the speakers into position as the GAIA lower isolators will adhere to the supporting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThreaded for the Strongest Connection\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe GAIAs are threaded into the base of the speaker or subwoofer to replace the existing spikes or feet. Threading the GAIAs into the base of the speaker creates a strong connection with the speaker. With the top of the GAIA housing connected with the speaker and the bottom of the GAIA connected to the supporting surface, all of the energy is then managed by the GAIAs internal isolator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe GAIA II includes thread adaptors for sizes M6-1.0, M8-1.25 and 1\/4\"-20. The GAIA thread adaptors have two sides. Side 1 is installed into the base of the speaker, and the thread size of Side 1 matches the speaker thread size. Side 2 is installed into the GAIA housing., and the thread size for Side 2 matches the thread size of the GAIA housing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IsoAcoustics","offers":[{"title":"New \/ 4 Set \/ New","offer_id":45983398133933,"sku":"NEW-IAGAIAIII-4S","price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"New \/ 4 Set \/ Demo","offer_id":45983398166701,"sku":"DEMO-IAGAIAIII-4S","price":179.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New \/ 4 Set \/ Open Box","offer_id":45983398199469,"sku":"OPEN-IAGAIAIII-4S","price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/IAGAIAIII_1_01-Large__62542.1731599353.1280.1280_e2dbb446-ec9e-44d7-9141-df59d1949555.jpg?v=1778111805","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/isoacoustics-gaia-iii-speaker-isolators-set-of-4","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
