Tonar Turntable mat Perspex

The cause is the sound just produced by the loudspeakers, which comes back to the turntable and makes it vibrate. The problem is that there is a very small time difference between the reproduced sound and the sound fed back to the turntable.

This results in a great loss of detail and clarity and makes the sound “muddy”. So everything must be done to isolate both the turntable from its surroundings and the record from the turntable.

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 that absorb unwanted vibrations not present in the original recording. Now many people try to combine these different materials at the same time as a sandwich to achieve better results.

Tonar now offers you this opportunity to experiment yourself, but at a modest price. To improve contact between the record and the mat, the centre section – the size of the label – is recessed to accommodate the thicker label area.
