2019 Product of the Year WINNER for Best Accessory
"The Oreas have already enhanced the systems of more than one Stereophile writer and have reminded us of the pleasures of recommending well-designed, well-made, fairly priced products."

Eliminating detrimental vibrations, IsoAcoustics have designed the OREA series especially to provide greater sound clarity and focus for high-fidelity audio components including amplifiers, DACs, CD players, speakers and turntables. Made of machined stainless steel, these isolators have a low-profile design to minimise any significant increase in height.
Each model of OREA isolation puck was created for a different weight bracket, designed with a coloured ring on the bottom isolator to denote the model and its ideal capacity. This series is packaged individually to allow greater flexibility for the user when determining the number of units to use. IsoAcoustics' own recommendation is that a minimum of three units should be used under each component, depending on its weight.
The upper flange of the OREA’s are designed to provide a suction cup-like effect and adhere to the underside of the component, while the lower flange adheres to the supporting surface. Micro-vibrations are controlled within the core of the OREA’s, which are tuned to work within specific weight ranges. This results in greater sound clarity and a more open soundstage providing authentic, three-dimensional sound.
Weight Distribution
The weight distribution of the component should always be taken into account. If for example, the component is heaviest at the back, then it is common to use three isolators with two positioned at the back corners and one positioned front and center. Remember that it is still important to stay in the weight capacity.
Existing Feet
The existing feet on an audio component may connect well and fit nicely around the perimeter of the OREA isolator. Alternatively, you may get better performance by either removing the feet entirely or placing the OREA’s beside the existing feet to have them connect directly to the chassis or base of the component.

Note from manufacturer:
"It is common to use three or four OREA audio component isolation feet for each component or speaker, but keep in mind that it is most important to stay within the weight capacity of the OREA isolator.
The weight distribution of the component can also be taken into account. If for example, the component is heaviest at the back, then it is common to use three isolation feet with two positioned at the back corners and one positioned front/centre."
