IsoAcoustics - GAIA Neo M8 Spacer (Set of 2)

Own Sonus Faber Speakers and Installing IsoAcoustics GAIA and GAIA Neo Isolators? Optimize Everything with the M8 Spacer

Have a pair of Sonus Faber speakers and want to optimize the installation of IsoAcoustics GAIA and GAIA Neo isolators? Be sure to get the company's M8 spacer. When used together with long M8-1.25 threads on compatible Sonus Faber models that have a long front spike for upward tilt, the spacer provides additional clearance where needed between your speaker and the isolator. The M8 Spacer helps maintain the same tilt angle as the factory long-front spikes.

Front Installation

Confirm your speaker model is compatible and that the installation requires the Original GAIA M8 spacer. Thread the long M8-1.25 thread tightly into the top of the GAIA housing. Install the GAIA M8 spacer onto the long M8-1.25 thread. Secure the assembly according to the GAIA model being used. For GAIA I, use the bottom knurled lock nut to tighten down against the top of the GAIA housing. For GAIA II and GAIA III, tighten the M8 spacer directly against the top of the GAIA housing. The knurled lock nut is not required. Install the top hex lock nut onto the long M8-1.25 thread above the M8 spacer. Leave a small gap between the lock nut and the M8 spacer. Thread the GAIA isolators into the front threaded inserts of the speaker. Align each GAIA so the IsoAcoustics logo faces the front of the speaker. Using the included wrench, tighten the top hex lock nut upward against the bottom of the speaker to lock the thread in place.

Rear Installation

At the back of the speaker, use the standard length M8-1.25 threads included with the GAIAs. Install the rear GAIA isolators following the standard GAIA installation instructions. Confirm that the speaker is level, stable, and properly supported before use.
