Stage 1
Turntable Mat
Resonance decoupling for all drives
Are you familiar with this problem? With great care you’ve put together your
top-level hifi chain and now you’re pleased to immerse yourself fully into your
analogue music treasures. Yet despite the very finest technology even the best
recordings are accompanied by annoying static noises! A low rumble, electrified
crackling, distorted tones or a muddy bass are clouding the musical enjoyment.
The problem:
When playing back records two different sorts of inadvertent vibrations can
distort the sound image: The direct vibrations of the record itself, which are
generated during playback by the stylus moving in the groove, will come back
delayed to the pickup due to mechanical reflections on the record’s outer
edge and thus distort the signal. Indirect vibrations due to airborne sound are
generated by acoustic waves hitting on the record and thereby causing the
stylus to oscillate.
The cartridge picks up all the vibrations without being able to make a distinc-
tion between the wanted vibrations from the record playback and the irritating
parasitic vibrations. The overlaying of those transients creates the unpleasant
jarring notes.
Our solution:
The Stage 1 Turntable Mat will decouple the record from the ground, thereby
neutralising the vibrations from the turntable drive. Static charges are avoided,
the record is lying perfectly flat and vibration-free on the turntable. Enjoy
a much more precise reproduction in the bass and fundamental range and
experience close-up how the dynamics of your music can develop undisturbed.
