The first GAIA threaded isolation feet were designed to replace factory-installed feet or spikes and were launched in 2016. IsoAcoustics quickly amassed awards and industry accolades for this refined product implementation of the company's patented acoustic isolation technology, which reduces vibrations, resonances, and interference between audio equipment and the surface it sits on. After the company had gained substantial praise in the studio market, where isolation stands serve a clear purpose, GAIA helped to put IsoAcoustics on the map of the hifi market.
Nearly 10 years on and with much accumulated knowledge about the specific challenges in home and high-end audio, IsoAcoustics has added new ranges to the GAIA family to fill a variety of user needs, including the GAIA-TITAN range, and now GAIA Neo and GAIA-TITAN Neo. The refined Neo products come in two visually striking finishes — black and dark chrome — combining new technology and design features for a flexible and easy user experience.
The key feature in the GAIA Neo and GAIA-TITAN Neo isolation feet is the clever Height Adjustment. Each new Neo design features a lower rotating ring that allows for easy height adjustment. By simply rotating the ring, the isolator can be raised or lowered without affecting its on-axis alignment. With the larger and heavier speakers, this becomes a valuable new feature.
The new models also eliminate the need for lock nuts, offering an easier installation experience. 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 while maintaining proper alignment. Each GAIA Neo model includes the three most common thread sizes to fit a wide range of speakers and components. These sizes accommodate the vast majority of applications, and alternate thread sizes are available as required. And IsoAcoustics offers floor-sliders that make positioning large speakers a breeze. Once the Neos have been installed, users simply need to slide the speakers into place before tilting one side at a time to remove the sliders (pictured below).
To guide users, IsoAcoustics’ Online Product Selector makes it easy to find the right isolation solution for every application. By following a series of simple prompts, this intuitive tool accurately recommends the appropriate isolator based on speaker or equipment type and specifies the required thread size. In anticipation of the GAIA Neo launch, the Online Product Selector will be updated ahead of its retail launch, making it easy for customers to select the right model and adapter with confidence.
IsoAcoustics works with some of the most respected audio brands in the world, integrating its patented acoustic isolation technology into speakers made by Sonus faber, Marten, PSB Speakers, Perlisten, and Gershman Acoustics, to name just a few. Each OEM collaboration draws from IsoAcoustics’ acclaimed consumer products, which are widely available for purchase and offer the same technology and performance benefit that is customized to meet the unique design requirements of each partner brand.
As IsoAcoustics reveals, the GAIA Neo products are already making a huge impact on the company's OEM business. The Neo isolators inspired several major new partnerships, including two world-class speaker brands that will reveal new flagship creations at the High End Munich show, each built on the advanced OEM integration of IsoAcoustics’ GAIA Neo and GAIA-TITAN Neo.
The GAIA Neo and GAIA Titan Neo will make their worldwide debut during the show, May 15-18, 2025, at MOC in Munich, Germany. IsoAcoustics will be exhibiting in Room A 4.2 F210. The Neo range will be available for purchase in Q3 of 2025. Pricing is TBD.
