Recoil Artist List



"Your mixes are only as good as your monitors and mix environment. When I began using the Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizer I immediately noticed improvements in the low end clarity of my near field monitors, to the point that I no longer needed to use a separate subwoofer. Incredibly, the detail of high frequencies and image localization were also improved."

"The Recoil Stabilizers are absolutely amazing! I've been raving about them to every producer, engineer, and friend that I know! Before I tried them, I looked at the list of endorsees and wondered how much of it was hype and how much was real. But the Recoils proved themselves as soon as I put them up! It's incredible how much of a difference they make. The Recoils block the sound that normally travels down into the stands or desk and projects it forward so nothing is missed!"

~ Dave Bottrill
Engineer/Producer - King Crimson, Silverchair, Tool, Godsmack, Staind, I Mother Earth, Dream Theatre

I have to say that I am very impressed; the difference I hear in the sound of my nearfields is pretty striking. They seem more "in focus" and have more low frequency extension. Even the low mids are clearer. WOW!"

~ Neil Citron

I like them!"

“For the past couple of years, I've been using other types of monitor isolation pads, and thought I had the low end problem pretty much handled, until I tried the Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizer. I was immediately blown away by the overall clarity in the imaging and they removed every ounce of low-mid problem I was having. Something the other pads obviously didn't do. These are the best monitor isolation pads you'll find on the market today. Second to none!”

Bachman-Turner Overdrive


"The Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizers are amazing. Now, wherever I setup my rig, I place my RX7s under the speakers they always sound as they should. I get consistency.

I have the Recoils underneath my NS10’s and they sound much better with them than without, simple as that."

~ Donal Hodgson
Engineer/Producer - Sting, Tina Turner, Jeff Beck, Counting Crows, Arrested Development, Primal Scream


"After several hours of listening to many styles of music I discovered the Recoils really seemed to focus the low mids on everything... the thud of the kick, roundness of the bass, and the low strings on the guitar seemed more solid and defined, thus clearing up the mix and making the stereo image more detailed."

~ Joe Barresi
Engineer/Producer - Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age, Bad Religion, The Melvins, Skunk Anansie

"The Recoil Stabilizers are really fantastic. I used them with a pair of Meyer HD-1's and the results were really impressive. I noticed an improved clarity in the low mid range. This has always been a problem area for me and the HD-1's but the Recoil Stabilizers somehow helped to tighten things up. I also had the chance to listen to them on my PMC TB2+ nearfield speakers in my mastering suite and again the results were quite amazing. The Recoil does magic on the low end response of the speakers."

~ Ron Skinner
Engineer/Producer - CBC Radio Music - Toronto

~ Andy Hong

"The Recoil Stabilizers have made a great improvement in the sound of my monitors.

~ Seth Glassman
Engineer/Producer/Session Player - James Brown, Diana Ross, Aaron Neville, Carole King




"Since adding Recoils to my setup, I have found that my mixes are translating so much better. Eliminate the resonance off the console and instantly - you have so much more clarity. The mids are much more balanced than before, L/R separation is amazing and guitars and vocals are finding their place with so much more ease. Amazingly defined. You've never heard NS10's sound so good."

~ Jonathan Fluevog
Engineer/Producer - Dandy Warhols, Scissor Sisters, The Casanova Playboy


"LOVE LOVE LOVE! I did nothing except place my NS-10s on the Recoils and the warmth and true bottom immediately started flying out of my speakers; it was like finally hearing the true playback. They're a must have for anyone who plans on quality monitoring. Not having these is like using cheap gas in a Corvette; it's just never going to reach its full potential. The Recoil Stabilizers are a quality product, amazing build level and most importantly, the sound is dramatically better. I couldn't be happier with this purchase."

~ Evan Taubenfeld
Warner Bros. recording artist (The Black List Club) and former Music Director for Avril Lavigne
