"The improvement you hear is so immediate, you have to ask yourself...
Why wasn't this invented years ago?"

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. Use the reference chart to find the right Recoil Stabilizer for your monitors. Complete details for each model can be found on the specifications page.





"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


“I was suspect at first, but after a few minutes with the recoil Stabilizers I realized how much difference they made. Especially on the low end. I'm keeping these. They work. ”

~ Al Schmitt
Engineer/producer - Barbara Streisand,
Steely Dan, Ray Charles, Quincy Jones


"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."
