INCORPORATING RINGMAT &
STATMAT PRODUCTS INTO YOUR SYSTEM
|
To achieve the best results with our
isolation and other products, we suggest
that you check the following:
1. Where any shelf or platform
supporting components (such as a
turntable, compact disc or DVD player,
amplifier, tuner, etc.) can be used
either way up, a good tip is to
alternately try both ways. One way up
should give a noticeably better sound
than with the other.
2. Our decoupling and other Ringmat and
Statmat products correct phase
distortion and other anomalies in the
music signal caused by vibrations and
resonance. In turn, this affects the
coincidence of direct and reflected
waveforms, so that some small change in
loudspeaker placement may be necessary
to realign timing whenever one of our
products is introduced into a sound
reproduction system. This advice is not
unique to our products. A similar
adjustment may be required whenever
introducing other manufacturers’
products and accessories. Accordingly,
check the position of each |

speaker in relation to a rear wall, the distance
each speaker is from the other and the extent to
which they are each “toed-in” (to tighten
imagery and adjust relationships in distance to
rear and side walls). Depending upon the
accuracy of the system, an adjustment of 3 to
6mm either way may be all that is needed, though
sometimes more is required if there is still a
problem.
Depending upon the ease with which a speaker can
be moved and the manner in which it is
supported, it may be possible to ascertain the
correct position simply by listening to each
speaker in turn whilst “leaning” or “swivelling”
it in each direction. Concentrate on changes in
the timing, clarity and transparency of the
sound as this is done. Do NOT attempt this if
the speaker is not suitably under control.
Ensure it cannot topple, cause damage to itself
or to its supports. Where necessary, seek help
with holding the speaker and check that there is
no risk to the cables or to any connections.
