AN INTRODUCTION TO THE RINGMAT
PRODUCT RANGE
|
We have organised our product pages so
that you can understand the full range
of components now available to you to
improve the reproduction of your hi-fi /
home cinema or other audio-visual
systems – even your television or the
portable in your kitchen. Whatever your
system, our products will improve the
sound and picture. This applies
irrespective of the price of the
equipment concerned, for we are dealing
with fundamental issues concerning
electrical and mechanical vibrations
inherent in all equipment and situations
that go beyond the superficial
treatments you will encounter from the
manufacturers of your equipment – except
those already offering our products.
Ringmat and Statmat products are also
superior to most other accessory
products on the market for which similar
claims are made.
Our products are aimed at securing
accurate signal phase. This is essential
if you are to achieve accurate sound
reproduction and a sharp picture with
the best definition and colour the
screen is able to provide.

Loss
of phase accuracy can be due to poor design or
component quality, but in the main it is due to
the impact of electrical and mechanical
vibrations we can neither see nor physically
feel. For example, static in the case of
electrical vibrations and the natural resonance
in materials in the case of mechanical
vibrations. By addressing these problems, the
improvements brought about by our products are
both significant and cumulative. Some are more
noticeable than others are, sometimes depending
upon the order in which our products are
introduced into a system. In general, it is
usually best to start nearest the source of the
signal.
On occasions, our products may not seem to make
very much difference. This is always due to
significant phase problems within the system
concerned and mostly due to certain loudspeaker
manufacturers employing drive units in a speaker
with opposing absolute phase without making the
necessary corrections. The reason for this
situation is a lack of understanding within the
industry generally, and on the part of some
loudspeaker manufacturers in particular, as to
the real role of absolute phase in sound
reproduction. We look forward to explaining this
matter more fully at a later date. On the
positive side, the instances just cited could
demonstrate a problem of which the user may
otherwise be unaware. In such cases, the Ringmat
or Statmat product used can be employed as a
diagnostic tool for evaluating the success of
endeavours made to correct phase anomalies in a
system, thereby radically improving the sound.
