IsoAcoustics GAIA Isolation Expands to JBL, Raidho, LUMIN & More

When I swapped out the included spikes on my speaker stands for a set of IsoAcoustics GAIA III Neo  isolation feet, I was merely trying to address a stability issue caused by my uneven hard floor. Because the feet are individually height-adjustable, I was able to achieve stable contact between the stands and the floor. Problem solved. I didn’t expect much of an audible difference in my relatively inexpensive system — at the time, I was comparing various speakers in the $1,200 – $1,300 price range — but I heard clear improvements in bass detail and imaging. The differences were not life-changing, but they were there, and they were obvious. I’m not saying that it makes financial sense for every audiophile to spend $600+ on loudspeaker isolation feet. That will depend on your system, your budget, and your priorities. I’m simply saying that, in my experience, these things do what they say on the tin.

But, as LeVar Burton used to say, you don’t have to take my word for it. I would not blame any audiophile for maintaining a healthy skepticism of audio tweaks and accessories. Our own Theo Nicolakis put IsoAcoustics GAIA isolation feet to the test in his Audioholics review and came away impressed with the results. Typically, I would simply advise you to try them out for yourself, but Theo’s experience offers another Audioholics perspective on what GAIA isolation can bring to a high-performance audio system.

But beyond taking our word for it, there’s another good way to spot the real deal before pulling the trigger:

Over 10 years ago, IsoAcoustics began working with other well-known audio companies to integrate the Canadian outfit’s patented isolation technologies into their products. You can now find loudspeakers from brands like Perlisten, PSB, and Sonus faber that incorporate IsoAcoustics hardware into their designs. I can guarantee that the engineers and number-crunchers working at these respected companies would not spend the money to incorporate IsoAcoustics hardware into their products if these solutions didn’t make a meaningful difference. Nor would the loudspeaker engineers be on board for the collaboration if they thought they could achieve the same results on their own without a significant investment of time and resources. IsoAcoustics has been manufacturing and distributing acoustic isolation products in the professional and home audio industry since 2012, but this decade+ of OEM work has proven especially fruitful for the company. While engineering and integrating custom isolation solutions for some of the world’s most respected audio brands, IsoAcoustics has established a level of credibility that is hard to attain from word-of-mouth alone.

New Collaborations with Top Audio Brands

IsoAcoustics has just shared its annual OEM partner update. The company has now completed approximately 155 OEM projects with more than 70 brand partners, and more than a dozen additional collaborations are currently in process. 

IsoAcoustics says that new collaborations include work with JBL, Raidho, LUMIN, and more. A few notable projects include early OEM applications of the GAIA-TITAN Neo, the newest addition to the GAIA Neo range. Designed for the industry’s largest and heaviest loudspeakers, GAIA-TITAN Neo will debut for the consumer market later this year.

Every OEM project begins with patented IsoAcoustics technology adapted to the mechanical, aesthetic, and performance requirements of each partner. The underlying goal, however, is always the same: manage the connection between a speaker or component and the surface beneath it, so vibration and resonance don't rob a system of clarity, detail, depth, or soundstage.

JBL collaborated with IsoAcoustics to integrate a custom-designed, semi-recessed adaptation of the GAIA-TITAN Neo into its next-generation JBL Summit Everest and JBL Summit K2 loudspeakers, which were introduced at High End Vienna 2026. Marking the brand’s 80th anniversary, the Summit Everest and Summit K2 loudspeakers look absolutely sick, and the company says that the isolation feet contribute to “tighter bass performance, a more expansive soundstage, and imaging defined by greater clarity and spatial precision.” The existing Summit Makalu, Summit Pumori, and Summit Ama speakers, which were introduced last year at High End Munich 2025, use customized adaptations of the GAIA I Neo isolation feet.

The Swedish loudspeaker brand Marten makes some of the finest (and most expensive) speakers around, and has a longstanding partnership with IsoAcoustics. The company’s new Dexter Series includes four models that combine a pure diamond tweeter, M-Core triple-layer cabinet construction, and a new bass loading system developed specifically for the series. All four models feature custom Marten Isolators, developed with IsoAcoustics using GAIA Neo technology, and integrated as a permanent part of the design. The isolators “help manage energy transfer between the loudspeaker and supporting surface for greater clarity, focus, and soundstage,” according to IsoAcoustics. Marten has also shown the new GAIA-TITAN Neo feet as part of its flagship Coltrane Supreme Extreme loudspeaker.

Denmark’s Raidho arrived at the High End Vienna 2026 show with “one of the broadest integrations to date of IsoAcoustics technology,” according to the company, rolling out custom GAIA isolation solutions across multiple series of the brand’s high-end loudspeakers. In the new flagship TD Signature models, IsoAcoustics feet are included as part of the package. The TD1.2, TD2.2, and TD3.2 now benefit from upgraded crossovers based on experience from the TD3.10 project, Furutech terminals, improved bass drivers with softer suspension for deeper and more natural bass performance, and the aforementioned IsoAcoustics feet.

While we most often associate IsoAcoustics feet with loudspeakers, audio legend Ed Meitner and his company EMM Labs have teamed up with IsoAcoustics to introduce purpose-designed isolation footers across the whole range of EMM Labs reference audio components. The new footers complement EMM Labs’ precision-engineered electronics, including the flagship PREi preamplifier. According to IsoAcoustics, we can expect the new feet to become available for all EMM Labs products, including the company’s renowned DACs.

Attendees of the Toronto Audio Fest were introduced to the distinctively-styled Gershman Acoustics Symphoria loudspeakers. Like others on this list, these speakers feature IsoAcoustics feet beneath the speakers, but they also use IsoAcoustics devices in the Separate Sub Alignment System (SSAS), which floats the midrange/tweeter module, completely isolating it from the bass enclosure. This reportedly eliminates vibration transfer and allows precise positioning for perfect phase and imaging, creating an expansive, three-dimensional soundstage, according to Gershman Acoustics.

The digital audio specialist LUMIN has integrated IsoAcoustics isolation into the company’s flagship network music player, streamer, and DAC, called the X2.

Antipodes Audio is also a digital audio specialist; the New Zealand–based company has developed a distinct ultra-high-end digital audio source brand called Oladra by Antipodes. Oladra has integrated IsoAcoustics isolation into its new Presence and Sentia source components.

The Spanish loudspeaker maker Kroma Atelier has incorporated the GAIA Neo into its new Reference Line loudspeakers, the Maribel. These are massive but stylish speakers, and the GAIA Neo feet are “a defining feature, not an accessory,” according to the company.

Stable 33.33, the Canadian turntable maker, has launched Immuable, a new turntable featuring integrated, semi-recessed IsoAcoustics isolators. The brand’s more expensive offerings, such as the Stable 33.3 Turntable, also use IsoAcoustics hardware.

Deep Lake Audio has built IsoAcoustics isolation directly into a new line of audio racks and furniture.
