The Primacoustic RX5 UF Recoil Stabilizer Isolation Pad decouples the speaker from the surface and helps improve monitor speaker performance. It enhances transient response and imaging and tightens up the bass for greater accuracy. The UF version is designed with a 10º degree upward angle.
The Primacoustic RX5 UF Recoil Stabilizer Isolation Pad 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 RX5 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 ¼” 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 Primacoustic RX5 UF Recoil eliminates unknown resonance from contaminating the sound, your mixes immediately translate better to other rooms and audio systems.
Upward Fire
The Primacoustic RX5 UF Recoil Stabilizer Isolation Pad introduces a 10º degree upward angle to compensate lower monitor positionng. This is often a good choice when the monitors are used on a decl or lower shelf that cannot be adjusted. The Primacoustic RX5 UF incorporates four different elements, these include:
- Retention Pad: Thin no-slip neoprene surface secures the nearfield monitor to the top surface for maximum signal transfer.
- Steel Platform: Laser cut ¼” (6mm) steel platform adds the necessary stabilizing mass to rigidly hold the nearfield monitor in place.
- Curved Front Panel: Curved front panel eliminates standing waves and adds mass to the platform without increasing the footprint.
- Isolation Foam: High density open cell acoustic foam provides acoustic isolation to eliminate coupling between loudspeaker and shelf.

Excellent Decoupling
Feb 12th 2014You wouldn't think a piece of metal on a piece of foam could make that much of a difference, but it does. I own some larger ones and three sets of RX5s and they make a significant difference. First I bought a set of RX5s for a pair of dynaudio BM5As and was really surprised. These speakers were already great to start with, but adding the RX5 UFs made a noticeable difference. The 10% up angle probably makes a big difference by itself, but the sound was so much more coherent and well defined I could not ignore the overall effect. There are only certain things you can do to a system at a certain point: this is, without a doubt, a good, and actually cheap, move to make. When you consider all the things and costs that go into a studio or sound system, large or small, these are a no brainer.

Primacoustic RX 5s are great!
Oct 16th 2012Angle is not adjustable but you know that before you buy it. 10 degrees is perfect for my application. Sound isolation is effective. I cant wait to get my RX 17 subwoofer pad.
