It fires past your ears instead of at them, and it pumps energy into the desktop, which starts resonating along with the music. The Monitor Audio Radius Desk Pad 4G deals with both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eMonitor Audio built it for the Radius 1 4G and Radius 3 4G. Each pad is moulded from rubber compounded to a specific hardness, sized 24 x 114 x 138 mm, about 0.9 by 4.5 by 5.4 inches. They come as a pair, in black, with a subtle upward tilt that aims each speaker at where you sit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWhy Rubber Hardness and a Small Tilt Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eIsolation is not about softness: too soft and the cabinet rocks, smearing the bass; too hard and vibration passes into the desk. Monitor Audio specifies the compound to sit in between, so the speaker stays planted while the desk stops joining in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe tilt is the other half, because on a desk a small speaker usually sits below ear level, so the tweeter fires at your chest and the top end goes flat. Angling the cabinet up puts the high frequencies back on axis, and Monitor Audio credits it with better soundstage and high-frequency projection in near-field listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWho Is This Desk Pad Best For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;padding-left:1.4em;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRadius 1 4G and Radius 3 4G owners on a desk\u003c\/strong\u003e — This is the pad Monitor Audio made for those two cabinets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHome office and near-field listeners\u003c\/strong\u003e — Two feet from your ears is where tilt and isolation pay off most.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone with a hollow or lightweight desk\u003c\/strong\u003e — Thin desktops resonate, and a compliant pad keeps that energy out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeople who want the fix to disappear\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black rubber, 24 mm tall, nothing to look at.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot enough if your speakers sit far below ear level\u003c\/strong\u003e — A small tilt cannot rescue a very low desk.
