A bargain for $30 bucks. They work great for decoupling the speakers from
the desk or stand.
Set them on top of some 3/4" trim wood for an additional 10mm or so.

recommend any of those, honestly. They all seemed to suffer from either QC
problems or just plainly didn't sound good. I'd be more inclined to steer
you towards a Grace set, less of them but better quality per buck, because
you already have generic pres in the console.
As to the console, are you routing the mix through it or through paris?
