Crafted from selected rubber bonded cork to provide an effective support platform for vinyl LP, Plattamat brings a number of sonic and practical benefits over felt mats. At 2mm thick with a finely textured surface, Plattamat will fit your turntable perfectly and will not entrap dust particles into the weave as will the felt mat which may given time, damage your cherished vinyl records.
Why rubber bonded cork? Essentially for the fact this material is available in a variety of compounds with varying degrees of neoprene, nitrile, silicone rubber and cork granules bonded together to form a resilient and easy to clean record playing surface. The grade selected by Analogue Innovation provides an ideal cellular composite isolation platform for vinyl replay.
Graded cork granules are introduced into elastomers as an effective process for adding air into the material being produced. This is due to the fact that cork is composed of a combination of open and closed flexible air filled cells. The variable amount of air added to an elastomer allows control of its resilience, internal damping and therefore, its vibro-acoustic performance.
Additionally, Plattamat is unaffected by static charges which can infuriatingly cause the felt mat to be removed with your record.
