"The Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizer™ is a unique speaker mounting device that at once eliminates disruptive resonant coupling from the loudspeaker to the stand, while providing a stable base that reduces the recoil caused by the forward energy of the loudspeaker motion. Made from three basic components, the Recoil Stabilizer is essentially a platform for the loudspeaker that features a high-density urethane base that isolates the speaker from the shelf, monitor-bridge or stand. This effectively decouples the loudspeaker to eliminate vibration-borne resonance to the substructure. A heavy laser-cut steel plate is added and sandwiched between the isolation layer and a no-slip neoprene top. The steel plate introduces significant mass to the structure and serves to stabilize the speaker. By reducing the backward 'recoil' energy as the speaker coil pushes energy forward, initial waveform transients no longer suffer lag and the sharpness of the resulting pulse is more defined. The result is significantly greater detail at all frequencies, with tighter bottom end and improved depth of field. The Recoil Stabilizer is available in various sizes and weights to address different speaker designs and may be ordered in both standard and custom angles to precisely aim the loudspeakers for critical listening environments.
“The Recoil Stabilizers are great! A huge difference from regular foam pads. They sound more stationary and connected. I'm quite happy with them.”~ Elliot Scheiner Engineer/producer - Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Sting, The Eagles, Queen , REM, Faith Hill
“My nearfield speakers sound better on the Recoil Stabilizers than they did without them. The bottom is solid, the vocals are clear and my speakers don't fall down. It's a great product.” ~ Daniel Lanois Engineer/producer - U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Emmylou Harris, Ron Sexsmith, Robbie Robertson “The Recoils are remarkable! They seem to clear up the low mids, bring out the ultra lows and the transients come alive with greater detail. Very impressive!”~ Joe Chiccarelli Engineer/producer - Bon Jovi, Frank Zappa, Tori Amos, Chicago, Poco, Bob Seger, Annie Lennox
“It's all about mass. Recoil Stabilizers add a noticeable measure of clarity for serious listening. I'm impressed.” ~ George Petersen Editor MIX magazine
“The Recoil Stabilizers tighten up the bass incredibly and properly isolate the speakers from the console. My monitors are punchy and have more vibe. I haven't stopped using them.”~ Dave Bottrill Engineer/producer - King Crimson, Silverchair, Tool, Godsmack, Staind, I Mother Earth, Dream Theatre
“With Recoils in place, the speakers seem to sonicly float, the low-end is more defined, and I hear fundamentals that I never thought were there. The Recoil's brought new life to my nearfields – they have never sounded so good!”~ Bil VornDick Engineer/producer - Bela Fleck, Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, Marty Robbins, Mark O'Connor
“A noticeable improvement in the sound with better imaging and a better controlled low end… the Recoil Stabilizers are the best isolators I have tried so far.”~ Paul White Editor - Sound on Sound magazine
“As soon as I replaced the foam wedges I had under my speakers, I heard a noticeable difference: The Recoils instantly sounded and looked way cooler. F…ing Awesome!” ~ Butch Walker Engineer/producer - Avril Lavigne, Fall Out Boy, Pink, Sevendust, Hot Hot Heat, Simple plan, The Donnas
“I found the improvement to be dramatic… the mix as having much more depth – reverbs and panning were much more obvious. The Recoils offer a simple way to kick your monitor's performance up a notch!”~ Dave Rideau Engineer/producer - Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Janet Jackson, Sting, TLC, Earth Wind and Fire
“The Recoils clear up and sweeten the tone overall and give a heavier, tighter bass. More fun to listen with for sure! Bottom line – they work.”~ Ari Raskin Chief engineer – Chung King Studios - Justin Timberlake, Sean Paul, Moby, Backstreet Boys, Black Eyed Peas
“I'm naturally skeptical…but the Recoil Stabilizers are the real deal. They do a great job of decoupling the speakers and give more accurate bass and better imaging. It's not just a subtle difference, but an obvious improvement.”~ Craig Anderton Editor - EQ magazine
“Elegant in principle, brilliant in execution…. that's the Recoil. What it does is so simple, and the improvement you hear is so immediate, you have to say to yourself, why wasn't this invented years ago?”~ Andy Hong Gear editor - TapeOp magazine
“The Recoils are fabulous! The bottom is defined in a way I've never heard before. The really stunning thing is the way the pillowy, moophy bottom has tightened up. They have to be heard to be believed... certainly the most cost-effective upgrade one could make to improve monitoring.”~ Seth Glassman Engineer/Producer/Session Player - James Brown, Diana Ross, Aaron Neville, Carole King |
