The design of a new preisolator stage for the VIRGO superattenuator is presented. The device is essentially a 6 m high inverted pendulum with horizontal resonant frequency of 30 mHz. An isolation of 65 dB at 1 Hz has been achieved. Very low forces are needed to move the whole superattenuator acting on the inverted pendulum. For this reason, the system is a suitable platform for the active control of the mirror suspension.
