Google search for "studio monitor base plate" and "studio monitor isolation base" turned up nothing.
They do not look like the usual angled foam, and instead look like metal?
Image is from Adam Audio Twitter page.
I know the Studio monitors are sitting on some Isoacoustics product, but I am interested in what is underneath.
Anyone recognise them?

I wouldn't get those. IME the speakers should be positioned higher to prevent boomy mid bass. The tweeter should be at ear height anyway.

To be honest I just liked the aesthetics and curiosity drives me to find them.
I do not intend to place them on a desk like in the photo.
I guess it is a “promotional” image so it doesn’t have to be technically correct. . .

It looks like the isoacoustic stand on another base. only the top half of the stand. Its placed on another base. But not sure whats the base plate.

Agreed. This is either an IsoAcoustics prototype or a DIY mix of the top of an IsoAcoustics isolator and a base I never saw before.

Looks like a piece of about 25mm thick granite or maybe engineered stone of some sort, with shallow feet/pads underneath.

Ok, i think i found it. Its a collaboration between zaor and isoacoustics. The name is zaor isoplane. Unfortunately, its discontinued and no longer available.

I google a bit and found this site selling for euros 249. But its not in english.

Thank you! That’s it.
From what I gather the exterior is made of wood with large single solid padding underneath.
It is also adjustable for incline of up to 6 degrees.
It seems like Zaor uses a similar system for the top of their stands (but upside down with the foam on top).

And yes it appears discontinued and sold out where I am looking.
I also found some places where you can add to cart, but the websites are slightly suspicious or maybe old and have not updated their inventory, and a few knockoffs on “Carousell” I would warn others not to attempt to purchase them.

You found it though winner winner chicken dinner!

Oh well, there's always a stack of encyclopedias and some balls of Blu-Tack.
