The IsoAcoustics ISO-L8R155 stands are specifically designed for desk mounted studio monitors.

They look simple enough, yet they effectively prevent the transfer of speaker cabinet vibrations to your desk, which prevents unwanted changes to the sound you are listening to.

To better accommodate our many different studio setups, the L8R155 also features adjustable height and tilt angle (up to 6.5 degrees up or down) by combining different tubing heights, for convenient positioning.

Specifications:

• Height: Adjustable (3.7" or 8.75")
• Material: Plastic/Steel Tube
• Contact Surface (D x W): 6.1" x 7.5"
• Base Size (D x W): 19" x 19"
• Weight Capacity: 29.98 lbs.
• Weight: 12.2 lbs.

Pros

Positive reviews continue to pour in for the ISO-L8R155, most of which contain reports of noticeable improvements to sound clarity. To be specific, many users are happy with how it removed the muddiness of the lower frequencies, making for easier monitoring of bass, guitars, keys and vocals. Many also appreciate its simple yet effective height and tilt adjustments.

Cons

While most are happy with its positive effect on sounds, there are a few who comment that the price should be a tad bit lower. There are also some who encounter leveling issues, since you have to make height and tilt adjustments by swapping parts out.

Overall

All in all, the extra clarity it provides goes a long way especially for those who work long hours mixing and mastering tracks. We agree with the majority that the IsoAcoustics ISO-L8R155 is well worth the money.

NB: This has been superseded by the IsoAcoustics ISO-155 which is currently on our recommended list of The Best Studio Monitor Stands.
