All cabinets suffer from
vibration – vibration
damages the sound
Use Ringmat® Dampers on top of your
loudspeakers
and equipment to absorb those vibrations
in the
cabinets – timing of the music increases

Positioning of Ringmat Dampers
Initially, identify the corner bearing
the least weight of the loudspeaker or
equipment housing concerned. As a
general rule with loudspeakers, most of
the weight is at the front and evenly
spread left and right, so use the Damper
on top of the speaker in the rear right
hand quarter. With equipment, where the
weight is at the back, it is generally
best to use the Damper in the front
right hand quarter, and in the back left
hand quarter if the weight is at the
front. The weight distribution can be
ascertained more accurately by holding
the speaker or equipment half way
between front and back and see which way
the weight inside pulls the speaker or
equipment – to the back or to the front.
Then hold them half way between left and
right and again see which way the weight
inside pulls the speaker or equipment –
to the left or to the right.
Keeping the Damper within the lightest
quarter, place the outside edge of the
Damper against an imaginary line half
way between the two longest sides, with
the centre of the Damper half way
between the centre point on the longest
side and the end of the loudspeaker or
equipment housing adjoining the lightest
quarter.
Then, whilst listening to the sound from
your best sounding recording at its most
rhythmical, move the Damper around a
little to see if an even better sounding
position for the Damper can be found.
Timing of the Music
All our Ringmat and Statmat products
correct phase anomalies in the signal,
which is why they perform so well. In
turn, this affects the coincidence of
direct and reflected sounds. Inevitably,
this affects the timing of the music,
which can suddenly go flat. Tiny errors
in the timing of sound reflections can
also give rise to what might otherwise
be thought to be distortion, and can be
found throughout the frequency range.
