collapse expand iconDescription

Designed for nearfield monitors, the Primacoustic RX17-HF Mid-field/Sub Recoil Stabilizer - Horizontal Fire 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.

The Recoil Stabilizer is a loudspeaker platform that combines three basic components: A high-density urethane foam base to isolate the speaker from the shelf, monitor-bridge or stand; a heavy 1/4" laser-cut steel plate; and a thin neoprene top surface. The foam effectively decouples the loudspeaker to eliminate vibration-borne resonance that invariably introduces phase anomalies, while the steel plate introduces significant mass to the structure, stabilizing the speaker. The no-slip surface coats the top to ensure the monitor stays firmly in place.

By reducing the backward "recoil" as the speaker-coil pushes energy forward, the initial transient no longer suffers lag and the sharpness of the resulting impulse is more defined. Upon first listening, one immediately notices more punch and extended low end. Upon further listening, one begins to notice greater detail at all frequencies, improved transient response and more defined depth of field. This not only makes mixing easier, but since the Recoils eliminate unknown resonance from contaminating the sound, your mixes immediately translate better to other rooms and audio systems.

    Soon after purchasing my KRK 10s sub, I saw the Primacoustic RX-17. I heard all the hype about their recoil stabilizers and wanted my new sub to have the cleanest sound possible. That's definitely what this thing will do. My bass response is much tighter and more musical. My mixes translate way better and my room doesn't rattle as much anymore from having "too much bass". I'd give it five stars, but the thing was a little pricey considering it probably costs five dollars to make... No matter what though, it'll bring you closer to a pristine sound.
