Extraordinary levels of isolation for high fidelity audio components and turntables.
OREA Series: Eliminates parasitic vibrations and provides greater sound clarity and focus. The OREA’s are ideal for electronic components including Amplifiers, DAC’s, CD Players, Speakers, and Turntables. Made of machined stainless steel, these isolators have a low-profile design to minimize any increase in height.
The IsoAcoustics OREA Series is designed to reduce parasitic vibrations and reveal greater clarity, focus, and dimensionality from your audio system. Ideal for components such as amplifiers, DACs, CD players, turntables, streamers, and even speakers, OREA isolators help your equipment perform with improved precision and control.
Crafted from machined stainless steel, each OREA features a sleek, low-profile design that minimizes added height while maintaining exceptional build quality.
Engineered for Specific Weight Ranges
Each OREA model is tuned for a specific weight capacity to ensure optimal performance. A colored ring on the base identifies the model and its supported weight range. Units are packaged individually, allowing flexibility in selecting the exact number needed for your component.
A minimum of three units per component is generally recommended, depending on weight and size.
Intelligent Energy Management
The upper flange is designed to create a subtle suction-cup effect against the underside of your component, while the lower flange interfaces securely with the supporting surface. Vibrational energy is managed within the internal core, which is carefully tuned for specific load ranges.
Flexible Placement Options
OREA isolators can often be used in conjunction with a component’s existing feet, fitting neatly around them. For even greater performance, some users choose to remove the factory feet or position the OREA units directly under the chassis to maximize energy transfer into the isolator.
For those looking to unlock additional performance from their existing electronics without changing core components, the IsoAcoustics OREA Series offers a simple, highly effective upgrade path.
Weight Capacity
The OREA’s are designed to be used in multiples to match the weight of the component or speaker. The total weight capacity is calculated as follows:
Total Weight Capacity = [Weight cap. per isolator] x [Qty of Isolators]
It is common to use 3 or 4 OREA isolators for each component or speaker, but keep in mind that it is most important to stay within the weight capacity of the OREA isolator.
The weight distribution of the component can also be taken into account. If for example, the component is heaviest at the back, then it is common to use 3 isolators with 2 positioned at the back corners and 1 positioned front/center.
The weight limits are based on the performance curves which are illustrated in the chart below:

I am not ready to rumble.
I’m using these with a Music Hall Classic turntable. I used to have noticeable rumble when just walking in the same room as the turntable. With the OREA Graphite’s in place, it has been reduced to being undetectable. I would recommend these are an outstanding low-cost enhancement to any turntable setup that doesn’t have built-in isolation.
You will not be disappointed
I’d like to start by saying I rarely right reviews, but these little feet worked absolute miracles under my turntable. I recently moved and now my system is on a suspended floor instead of concrete. The vibration feedback from the subwoofer thru the needle was terrible at high volumes in the new space. 4 of these things and my stereo is back to its former glory. They’re not cheap, but they’re worth every penny if you have a problem like me, and probably even if you don’t they’ll still make a difference.
IsoAcoustics at its best
Isolation of each component is essential for the best resolution. These are a great solution and not to expensive.
IsoAcoustics OREA Bronze
These IsoAcoustics OREA’s look good and work well. They seem to totally ‘settle down’ the sound and improve overall soundstage and ambiance.
Magic?? Or, not…
They work! I had looked at these for several years and wondered whether they might simply be snake oil. After extended listening, I can say that they yield additional clarity in sound. The result is an expanded sound field, both in depth of field front to back and to the sides. Additionally, it seems to affect the bass, increasing the effect somewhat. I can only guess at how this is achieved. I think that by isolating the speaker enclosure from any connected surface that you create a closer to ideal point source in the space (the room). I used 3 each (8 pounds each…) under the Monitor Audio Silver 100s as my fronts. I think that they serve to remove more subtle resonances from the speaker enclosure/supporting surface, as well as eliminating any resonances coming from the surface itself. More of the energy from the signal goes into the speaker drivers without being lost. Or, maybe it is just voodoo. Either way, I am not going without them.

Product Description
Lehmann Black Cube SE II – Precision Phono Stage for True Audiophiles
The Black Cube SE II builds on the acclaimed SE circuit, upgraded with superior sockets and an adjustable bass filter, allowing you to fine-tune your system to your personal listening preferences. Designed for maximum musical engagement, it delivers the sensation that your favorite recordings were crafted just for you, bringing instruments and vocals closer than ever.
Tailored for Every System
Compatible with nearly all MM and MC cartridges, the Black Cube SE II includes solder-free slots for custom impedance adjustments, plus an extra hardwired plug-in location for immediate flexibility. Optional matching resistors can be provided with your order at no extra cost, making it easy to optimize the phono stage for your system.
Audiophile-Grade Audio Circuitry
At its core, a high-precision passive RIAA filter network sits between two linear gain stages, built with surge-proof, narrow-tolerance polypropylene capacitors. This design preserves transients, dynamics, and timbres with exceptional clarity. Professional-grade input stages reduce noise while enhancing precision and power. Additional modules handle hum, high-frequency interference, and random voltage suppression, and the double-sided audio board ensures a low-interference signal path.
Dependable PWX Power Supply
The external PWX power supply features a custom toroidal transformer with static shielding, providing stable, safe, and powerful operation. Gold-plated Neutrik XLR connectors maintain secure connections, while shielded cables and mechanically damped aluminum housings minimize vibrations and interference.
Elegant Design
With a choice of silver, black, or chrome-plated front panels, the Black Cube SE II combines audiophile-grade performance with a refined aesthetic that looks as good in your HiFi rack as it sounds in your system.
Professional Endorsement
Known for its neutral, natural sound, Lehmann equipment is trusted by professional recording studios and music experts worldwide. The Black Cube SE II offers a high-fidelity listening experience that reveals every nuance in your favorite recordings.
Note: The sonic profile of Lehmann gear is perhaps the most neutral we can find. This brand is quite popular with our professional music/recording studio clients.
Reviews
AUDIO
“Upgraded to the SE version by the PWX, it was definitely poking the fire again like almost no other phono pre in its price range. Merciless heavy rock by Vanilla Fudge or massive bigband attacks by Count Basie were just about to blaze through the listening room. Pimped in such a hot manner, the Lehmann Black Cube SE II is state-of-the-art.”

Hifi News
“This is a true audiophile phono stage and, partnered with equipment of equal quality, the results are remarkable. Indeed, the SE II is difficult to fault even compared to the competition in a much higher price bracket. The exceptionally low background noise allied to a fabulous rhythmic and tonal rendition makes it worthy of consideration for those seeking the most detail from their vinyl without having to make a hyperspace price jump.”
