IsoAcoustics has reported its strongest year for the OEM division that integrates isolation hardware into manufacturers' products. It names JBL, Raidho, Marten, Lumin, and EMM Labs among current partners, extending the business beyond owner-fitted accessories.
The company is also working on early OEM uses of GAIA-TITAN Neo for especially large and heavy loudspeakers. Designing the interface with the manufacturer allows the support to match the plinth, load, centre of gravity, and finish instead of being adapted after the enclosure is complete.
Isolation has traditionally been a strong aftermarket category, but safety and visual constraints rise quickly with loudspeaker mass. More OEM work brings the isolation supplier into the product-development cycle and makes the support system part of the original mechanical design.
