Gator Frameworks GFW-ISOPAD-SM - Studio Monitor Isolation Pads (Small Size)
Gator Frameworks GFW-ISOPAD-SM are acoustic isolation pads designed to decouple your studio monitors from the desk or stand, reducing unwanted vibration transfer and resonances. Their small form factor is optimized for compact monitors and bookshelf speakers, and the set includes two base pads and two reversible wedges that allow you to position the monitors flat or tilt them to precisely direct the listening position. Measuring 302 × 171 × 41 mm each and weighing approximately 0.09 kg , they offer a lightweight, effective, and easy-to-integrate solution for any desk or stand.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are they sold in pairs? Yes, the set includes two bases and two reversible wedges (enough for two monitors).
-
What size monitor are they designed for? Small monitors; they fit vertically with 5” models and with smaller speakers if placed horizontally.
-
Do they allow you to adjust the tilt? Yes, the reversible wedges allow for flat or positive/negative tilt configurations to orient the speaker towards the listening position.
-
Do they need adhesives or screws? No; they rest directly on the surface and the speaker is placed on top.
Installation tips
- Place each base with the flat surface facing up and add the wedge if you need to orient the monitor.
- If your table is very resonant, place the pads as close as possible to the front edge to move the monitors away from the back wall.
- Make sure the tweeter is at ear level and forms an equilateral triangle between both monitors and your listening position.
