In the world of audio speakers, quality knows no price limits. Much like the automotive world with its SUVs, trucks, sedans, and sports cars, there are speakers to suit every need and style. Today, designers are competing to create exceptional products tailored to every price category.

While sound quality varies depending on the brand, series, or country of origin—reminiscent of the richness of wine terroirs—one thing remains constant: the creators’ commitment to delivering a faithful and immersive audio experience. However, one factor continues to elude their control: the interaction between speakers and their environment, particularly the flooring of the room where they are placed.

Whether it’s a family living room or a dedicated listening room, every space presents its acoustic challenges. Speaker placement, room design—including acoustic panels—and the interaction with materials all influence sound reproduction.

This is where a 100% Canadian innovation comes in: the Coga isolators, designed to revolutionize how speakers interact with their environment.

Simplicity and efficiency

The designers had an ambitious goal: to decouple speakers from the floor—the most challenging surface to manage acoustically—without compromising their sound signature. Many solutions have been developed in the past, some expensive or adding unwanted sound coloration. Today, Coga isolators ensure sound purity while preventing vibrations from transferring to the floor.

The Coga team embraced a minimalist philosophy inspired by Roy Gandhi, founder of Rega: “The fewer components there are, the fewer problems you create to solve.” The result? A durable, affordable, and universal solution suitable for all types of speakers.

A decisive encounter

Jean-François, a high-performance automotive mechanic enthusiast, crafted his first acoustic speaker soleplate over 25 years ago in his own workshop, without ever intending to turn it into a commercial product. His recent encounter with Alain, an aviation technician and high-performance automotive specialist, changed everything. Together, they integrated and adapted an aerospace-grade sealant with unique properties, enabling them to perfect the invention.

After a year of testing and optimization, their creation is now ready to hit the market. With listening results exceeding their expectations, Coga isolators have become a must-have solution for audiophiles.

The verdict: a promising advance for all those seeking to get the best out of their audio setup.

Coga isolators are currently available for purchase via Grado Canada’s website at $220 for a set of four. Give your speakers a revolutionary solution to eliminate vibrations and elevate your listening experience.
