Introduction
Thank you and congratulations on purchasing Primacoustic ISO Plane, part of the Primacoustic family of acoustic treatment products. ISO Plane was conceived to be a multi-purpose vibration isolator and shock mount for use with studio monitor loudspeakers and equipment that is sensitive to vibration. ISO Plane will improve the accuracy of your studio monitors and home theater loudspeakers by minimizing the transfer of vibrations to supporting structures. ISO Plane will effectively shock mount turntables, CD players.
Description
The ISO Plane system consists of 4 pieces of high density, low compression polyurethane foam, enough for two loudspeakers or two turntables. Each piece measures 12.75″ x 4.5″ with a maximum overall height of 1.5″. The ISO Wedge is cut with a planar profile making it useful for isolating equipment that requires a level surface,
Applications
ISO Plane is used to counter the effects of vibration-loading, or the physical
transfer of vibrations from one solid directly to another solid. In the case
of loudspeakers, vibration loading occurs when speaker cabinet vibrations are
transferred to structures that support the loudspeakers. Vibration-loading is
perceived as an artificial boost of mid-range and low frequencies.
The direct result of vibration-loading is that a listener will hear a
combination of direct sound from the loudspeaker and the effects of structural
resonance. They hear a frequency content altered by resonance instead of an
accurate picture of what is actually on the recording. If that listener makes
mix and equalization decisions based on what they are hearing, the mix will
lack low and mid-range frequency content when reproduced on other play-back
systems.
The ISO Wedge uses the natural vibration damping characteristic of high
density open cell foam to isolate loudspeaker vibrations from studio furniture
and fixtures. ISO Wedge offers the listener a truer reproduction of their mix
without expensive structural modifications and electronic equalization. The
resulting mixes will translate better across different playback systems.
Other Applications
In the case of vibration-sensitive equipment, vibration-loading can cause
turntables and CD burners to skip. High output subwoofers are notorious for
this. The natural damping characteristics of the ISO Plane make it very
effective for shock mounting turntables and CD players. Using ISO Plane pads
will also improve the sound quality of turntables and CD players. For
turntables, less vibration mean less low frequency rumble, for CD players it
means less error correction.
How to use ISO Plane
Installation of the ISO-Plane pads is easy. Simply place 2 pads under each device that you wish to isolate. Maximum stability is achieved by placing the pads close to the outer edges. Two ISO Wedge pads will accommodate virtually any size of loudspeaker or equipment. To match varying width, simply spread the pads apart.
By inverting the ISO Plane pads the front lip can be used to grab onto the table edge. This can provide extra grip to secure turntables and CD player in place during performance.
Note: Due to the nature of the material, slight variations in dimension and finish will occur but do not affect performance.
WARNING:
A) Do not cover ventilation openings with the ISO Pads.
B) Do not place ISO Pads on top of equipment that radiates heat.
C) Do not place ISO Pads on surfaces that are smaller than the ISO Pads.
D) Do not place top heavy or unbalanced loads on ISO Pads.
E) Do not expose to open flame or excessive heat.
