“We believe in giving our customers added value through intelligent furniture that not only comfortably houses equipment, but makes it sound better and also enhances both the aesthetics and listening experience,” explains ZAOR Studio Furniture VP Sales and Marketing Klaus Gehlhaar.
Given Gehlhaar’s proven — and privileged — track record, having previously worked with professional audio industry big-hitters such as Solid State Logic and TC Electronic, he is perfectly positioned to recognize and embrace genuine innovation, so pushing his current company to work with IsoAcoustics is a no-brainer. After all, IsoAcoustics’ own desktop speaker stands are built using a unique, patented speaker isolation technology that address the PIF (Placement, Isolation, Focus) principals that affect sound since speakers are allowed to ‘float’ freely in space, resulting in authentic, uncolored sound.
IsoAcoustics President Dave Morrison expands: “Speakers perform best when they are correctly positioned and free from mechanical interference. Our desktop speaker stands are the perfect blend of aesthetics, ergonomics, and acoustic science to make any speaker system perform better.” And speaking of aesthetics and ergonomics, little wonder, then, that ZAOR Studio Furniture was deemed to be a perfect partner for IsoAcoustics: “We have always liked the sleek and elegant design of ZAOR’s furniture. For us, this opportunity to integrate our patented technology into their product line feels like creating a dream team.”The first fruits of this mutually beneficial collaboration came together in time to be previewed at Musikmesse 2015 in Frankfurt, Germany. This included ZAOR Studio Furniture’s flagship in its marketable modular studio furniture concept lineup, the MIZA X media production workstation desk, featuring a pair of IsoAcoustics’ new Aperta stylish and slick line of sculpted aluminium acoustic isolation stands designed for medium-sized professional studio monitors and speakers.
IsoAcoustics’ Aperta stands can be freely positioned on the bridge and are integrated in a solid-wood plate in desk-matching color configurations. Also available is the D-STAND ISO, ZAOR Studio Furniture’s height-adjustable desktop stand in white glossy finish that now benefits from additional top acoustic isolation and speaker enhancement alongside height- and angle-adjustment attributes, all thanks to tight IsoAcoustics integration.
More collaborative products will follow soon, such as full-height speaker stands, height-adjustable for small, medium, and large professional studio monitors. The D-STAND ISO height-adjustable desktop stand is available to purchase from ZAOR Studio Furniture’s global network of authorized resellers or online directly from the ZAOR Studio Furniture Store (http://poe-music.com/products/zaor-studio-furniture/) for a RRP of €340.00 EUR (including 17% sales tax, plus shipping).ZAOR Studio Furniture was originally founded by Italian master piano builder Michele Zullo to bring his design craftsmanship to bear on the boxy world of studio furniture. He has since been joined by longtime pro audio expert Klaus Gehlhaar and sound engineer Gilles Bartholmé, and together they are realizing their dream of making the studio environment a more creatively fulfilling experience. From sturdy entry-level solutions to complete studio design including acoustics, ZAOR’s evolving, elegant product range meets most needs while unique custom solutions are also available.
