How to choose the right isolation pads

Isolation pads are chosen by the base of your speaker – the width and depth of its bottom. Height doesn’t matter.

  1. Measure the width and depth of your speaker's base (or find your model in the list below).
  2. Pick the pad whose size matches your base in the chart. Driver size is a good shortcut: 3"–4.5" speakers → SMPad 4, 5"–5.5" → SMPad 5, 6.5"–8" → SMPad 8.
  3. A small overhang is fine: the base can extend about 1.2" past the pad in width and 1.5" in depth. If it's larger, go one size up, or choose SMPads – four separate bars that adapt to any base.

Why use speaker isolation pads?

When a speaker sits directly on a desk, shelf or stand, its vibrations travel into the surface. The furniture resonates along with the music, which muddies the bass and blurs the midrange.

Isolation pads decouple the speaker from the surface, so you hear the speaker – not your desk. The result is tighter bass and clearer mids. Raising and angling the speakers also points the tweeters at your ears, which improves stereo imaging.

Sound Addicted pads are made of high-density acoustic foam (50 kg/m³) that stays firm under load and doesn't sag over time.

Isolation pads, feet or platforms?

  • Foam isolation pads – the best all-round choice for studio monitors on a desk. They isolate, raise and angle your speakers.
  • Isolation feet – low-profile silicone feet chosen by weight; a clean look for speakers, turntables and audio gear. s-Pods are our premium option.
  • Platforms & stands – VibeBoss platforms for subwoofers and speaker stands, and DSS desktop stands for 3"–5" speakers.
