Product Description TONAR: MATS MATTER Available variations:   -TONAR 5312: NOSTATIC MAT II The Nostatic Mat II improved, is one of the bestselling TONAR record turntable accessories. The mat is made of a combination of felt mixed with carbon fibers. The felt cushions the record and damps the vibrations caused by acoustic feedback to the record players from the speakers and other vibrations coming from outside. The mat is 2 mm thick. The carbon fibers collect the static charge from the record and conduct it back to earth due to the contact with the center spindle as well as with the platter. • Weight 34 gr   -TONAR 5972: PURE CORK MAT Ø295mm In order to enhance the better contact between the record and the mat, the center part – with the dimensions of the label have been recessed to accommodate the thicker label part. • Diameter Ø 295 mm • Thickness 3 mm   -TONAR 5974: CORK ‘N RUBBER MAT Ø295mm In order to enhance the better contact between the record and the mat, the center part – with the dimensions of the label have been recessed to accommodate the thicker label part. • Diameter Ø 295 mm • Thickness 3 mm   -TONAR 5976: PURE WHITE PERSPEX MAT Ø295mm In order to enhance the better contact between the record and the mat, the center part – with the dimensions of the label have been recessed to accommodate the thicker label part. • Diameter Ø 295 mm • Thickness 3 mm   -TONAR 5978: BLACK LEATHER MAT Ø295mm In order to enhance the better contact between the record and the mat, the center part – with the dimensions of the label have been recessed to accommodate the thicker label part. • Diameter Ø 295 mm • Thickness 3 mm   -TONAR 5988: RUBBER MAT Ø298mm In some cases the original rubber mat on the record player has become very dirty or even has chemically decomposed. Tonar now offers a fresh newly made rubber turntable mat to replace the old one. • Diameter Ø 298 mm   “During the past 20 years the quality of record players and vinyl records have improved dramatically. Acoustic feedback is one of the big problems when playing records. The cause is the sound that has just been produced by the speakers which comes back to the record player and cause it to vibrate. The problems is that there is a very slight time difference between the reproduced sound and the sound that is fed back onto the record player.  This results in a big loss of detail and clarity and makes the sound “muddy”. So every effort has to be done to isolate the record player from its surroundings as well as to isolate the record from the record player. In order to reduce acoustic feedback from the surroundings back to the record and the cartridge a lot of effort has gone into developing turntable mats that make the reproduced sound crystal clear with great separation and detail. This has been done by experimenting with various materials which absorb unwanted vibrations which were not present in the original recording. Now many people are trying to combine these different materials as a sandwich at the same time in order to reach better results. Now Tonar offers you this opportunity to experiment yourself but at modest pricing.” ~TONAR~
