Auralex Acoustics MOPAD MOPAD Monitor Acoustic Isolation Pads (1 Pair), Charcoal

First of all, let me begin by saying to everyone out there complaining about the price of these do you expect to have good sounding equipment by being cheap? Do you purchase a $30 microphone and expect to record a symphony? Like serious. It's $25. Geez. If you have good monitors and plan on getting the most out of them. Hopefully you paid a lot more for your speakers. Now on to the review...these things work. And they work well.. The picture is kind of deceiving. You actually get 8 different pieces in the box.,Not 2 as shown in the picture. You get two top halves and two bottom half for each speakers. 4 pieces per speaker. You can use these pieces wisely to adjust the angle of your speakers to aim at your ear level. You can take the top halfs off which will aim the speakers at an extreme downward angle. Or you can leave the top half on and have your speakers level at no angle, a slightly downward angle, a slight upward angle, or use the foam facing backwards for an extreme upward angle. These adjustments can be critical for monitoring as every little bit towards getting the best SQ you can achieve. I own a pair or KRK rokit 5 G2s which I have been using for about 2 years now. I usually just have them on a desk and I had gotten use to the rattling because I was ignorant to how much that affects SQ and how it was making me harder to mix. After getting these pads I now wish I would have gotten them 2 years ago!! My soundstage completely opened up, i can now hear tighter more precise bass. Even small little details stand out more. I went back and mixed down a couple old songs again and they now sound even better than ever. They also do their true job of eliminating rattle perfectly. My desk doesn't shake at all! It's a completely new sounding experience for me now. These little pads are the truth and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone with a home studio. Please read this and spend the extra money on these. You won't regret it and they look really professional.

Let me start off by saying this is my first ever review after using amazon for 2+ years......I am an amateur sound producer but even i could tell the difference with and without these pads. I operate in my bedroom and two krk rokit monitors are the most valuable items i have for music production. After using them for about a year just sitting on my computer desk, i decided to spend my gift cards on these pads and it made a HUGE difference. I can honestly say my production has taken a step up. The biggest difference i noticed after first using these pads was that i could finally hear the bass frequencies for what they are. Mastering bass was my biggest trouble but these pads really help me rather than just letting the bass travel through my desk into the ground. I would buy these again if i ever had too but they look like very good quality material. Trust me even if you are a new producer and think that saving up for an mpc or keyboard would be more important than buying these, then you are wrong. This should be one of the first things you should buy for your bedroom studio. Especially if your monitors just sit on your desk.

I tried the cheap way first - cutting foam to shape and putting the speakers on it. Well, it looked bad and the foam didn't have a consistency to its strength, so it would sag in random places leaving the speakers leaning one direction or another. I'm a perfectionist and a little OCD, so that wasn't going to work. I spent the bucks to buy these and was glad I did. They look fantastic, professional, and are firm enough to hold my nearly 20 lb Vanatoos. I thought the box only came with two (as the picture shows), but it actually comes with EIGHT wedges. I use four for each speaker, two across and the top two inverse and upside down to create the flat surface. I like how the wedges are angled so if you'd like to angle your speakers you have that option as well. These are all things you can't really do yourself very well with foam you cut yourself. Believe me I tried. If you don't care about presentation, appearance - or even effectiveness, by all means make some yourself. I'm entirely happy with this and would buy it again.

These foam isolation pads do the trick. They work great to isolate your speakers, or near field monitors, from the surface they are sitting on. They really make the Bass a lot "punchier" with less vibration. I have them sitting under the monitors on my computer desk, and they do exactly what they are designed for. I would purchase them again if I needed to, however........Come on people, these are little pieces of dense foam. How in the world can you charge this kind of money for something that amounts to nothing more than "packing material?" In reality you could save the foam out of the next electronics (or other) purchase you make from Amazon, and cut it into the needed shapes. It would do exactly the same thing for no cost to you. As I said, this is a good product, and does what it is intended to do. I gave them 4 stars because they do work well. I took off 1 star because of the ridiculous price for what this product actually is, FOAM. I would recommend purchasing this product if you have money to burn, and need them for their intended purpose. However, there are many more cheaper, and practical, solutions out there.

It took me a while to decide weather to buy the real things, a knock-off version of these or yoga blocks. Luckily, I found an amazon gift card that paid for almost the entire thing. I had no idea that the difference between these and something else was going to be so vast. First off, let me say that I am a DJ with KRK Rokit 6 G2 speakers. Not the worlds greatest speakers, but by far better than 99% of any speakers I have ever heard. They were sitting on my desk behind my mixer and I was getting good sound, but it never had the perfect tone I was expecting. These pads brought the sound off the desk and into my face. The 8 degree angle on these is perfect for the height I am off the desk and the response I was getting turned these monitors from an A to an A+. I will NEVER go back to anything besides these, and I will make sure that every speaker in my home is sitting on a pair of Auralex MoPADs. Thank you for making such a great product!

The foam looks and feels like its very good quality. The cheap stuff found on amazon doesnt even compare. They are very dense and firm, but you can tell they are very absorbent. I bought these as a temporary solution for some speakers that I bought. I have since replaced them with Isoacoustics Aperta stands, but tbh, i really cant hear or feel much of an improvement. Since then, these Auralex isolation pads have come in handy as isolation pads for my subwoofer. The modular design also helps with my 2x12 guitar amp combo. I can tilt and position my cab upwards while isolating the vibrations. The amp combo is pretty heavy and these foam pads can handle that weight easily. I actually just use a single speaker pad. I got to save money on an amp stand. Having a pair of these pads will come in handy.

These MoPads are pretty amazing. I recently just purchased the Atlantic 33935701 Gaming Desk so I had a feeling that I would need these pads.These pads are a must for an amateur recording studio setup with little or no acoustic treatment. Sitting your monitors or speakers on these pads will produce an even better quality sound experience and they also will get rid of unwanted bass vibrations from your desk. I love that you can use the extra pads to angle them any way you want for your set up. These pads make my bookshelf speakers sound AMAZING. It's like I'm using actual studio monitors. At $40, you can't go wrong with these pads for you studio. It is a MUST to have these.

Great product 2nd time I've purchased these once for a pair of jbl 6208 now for new jbl speakers . Hard to believe the difference.

Per i miei monitor da studio avevo bisogno di due pad isolanti per ridurre vibrazioni, risonanze e migliorare la resa sonora. Inizialmente ero indeciso se prendere queste o le "Adam Hall Mattonelle Isolanti Pad1" vendute sempre qui su Amazon ad un prezzo inferiore. Alla fine ho optato per queste Auralex, e la qualità si nota (già dal packing). Ho scelto queste per diversi motivi: - Il marchio Auralex per chi non lo sapesse è uno dei migliori in termini di trattamenti acustici, i loro prodotti sono usati in tutti gli studio del mondo, quindi volevo prendere un prodotto professionale e di qualità che non si sbriciolasse nel tempo e soprattutto che non fosse troppo morbido per il peso delle monitor. - Le Adam Hall nonostante avessero una differenza di prezzo di soli 10 euro erano comunque troppo basse (4 cm) questi della Auralex arrivano a 7 cm. - Sono componibili (ne sono 4) e molto robusti per sostenere il peso dei monitor. Arrivano in una confezione molto curata (foto in allegato) in cui vi sono all'interno 4 pezzi: ognuno di dimensioni di 10x30x7 cm. Ottimo poterne avere 4. Se avete monitor più piccoli, ad esempio, possono essere utilizzati solo 2 (ed utilizzare gli altri su altre monitor ancora) senza dover tagliare le spugne danneggiandole o renderle inutilizzabili nel caso dovessi cambiare casse. Mentre per monitor più grandi possono essere messi in coppia, sia uno vicino all'altro e sia più distanziati. Fanno il loro lavoro egregiamente. Nota dolente: il prezzo! E' vero sono molto costosi per l'uso che devono fare, ma vi assicuro che la spesa è necessaria in quanto avrete una resa davvero migliore per i vostri monitor, soprattutto per un home studio. La differenza si vede. Fate la spesa una sola volta prendendoli di qualità. Li consiglio. Amazon puntuale e impeccabile nella spedizione.

Excellent quality, very strong doesn't sink over time. Using it with Yamaha HS7, and they are not light speakers.

Basit ama çok etkili bir çözüm olduğunu düşünüyorum, ahşap konsolum üzerindeki hoparlörümün sesini oldukça temiz hale getirdi , denemenizde fayda var.
