Know before you buy
MoPADs decouple your speakers from your desk or stand, which prevents vibrations from traveling through hard surfaces. By eliminating these resonance issues, you get tighter bass response and a more accurate stereo image.
The MoPADs are designed to support most bookshelf and studio monitors weighing up to 100 lbs. As long as your speakers fit within the 12-inch depth and 4-inch width dimensions, they will be compatible.
The pads include wedge-shaped inserts that allow you to tilt your monitors at angles of -8°, -4°, 0°, +4°, or +8°. This helps you aim the tweeters directly at your ears for a more precise listening position.
No tools are required. The system uses a modular design that allows you to swap or flip the foam components by hand to achieve your desired tilt.
Yes, their compact 12" x 4" footprint is designed to fit easily on most studio desks or speaker stands. They provide a stable, flat base for your monitors without taking up significant extra workspace.
