RINGMAT DOMES under loudspeakers, turntables, CD players (also DVD,
SACD, and all transports, DACs, etc.), amplifiers, tuners, video
machines, all other items of hi-fi or A/V equipment, and all supporting
platforms, shelves etc.
RINGMAT DOMES can be used on their own and will generally outperform
most other isolation point support products. They perform even better
in conjunction with STATFEET. Nevertheless, for best results directly
under speakers and equipment, they should be used with RINGMAT FEET
(which include a STATFOOT with every set).
NOTE: 4 domes are best used under loudspeakers for best stability
and 3 domes under all other items of equipment. The domes need a
couple of days to "settle" under speakers before they
sound at their best.
When used in conjunction with RINGMAT FEET, DOMES can enable loudspeakers
to provide a sound quality which is superior to that using traditional
spikes. This concept was first passed to us by the Danish hi-fi
manufacturer Holfi, when they were trying the RINGMAT FEET under
loudspeakers, but they needed an additional component to fit between
the underside of the speaker and the top of the FEET. RINGMAT DOMES
were conceived as being the best solution, whereupon it was then
established that they outperformed cones and most other forms of
isolation point support under all sorts of components and in the
support of platforms, shelving systems, etc. NOTE - when using domes
under speakers 2 days are needed to allow them to "bed in"
properly.
Each DOME is made of compressed cork. It has the shape and appearance
of a cone but without a ‘point’ at the top. There are
three sizes, Mini, Small and Large, available in sets of 3 or 4.
For weights up to 21kg, the Small DOMES have a nominal diameter
of 42mm and a height of approx. 19mm.
For weights up to 55kg, the Large DOMES have a nominal diameter
of 56mm and a height of approx. 25mm.
Whilst using three DOMES instead of four may sometimes result in
a superior sound quality, such arrangements are less secure. This
is a particularly important consideration with regard to loudspeakers.
Therefore, when considering whether to use three or four DOMES,
bear in mind the increased risk of accident when using three DOMES.

SMALL DOMES
Where a lower profile is required, use the Mini-DOMES. These have
a nominal diameter of 21mm and a height of approx. 9.5mm. Although
noted for weights upto xxKg, in practice we have been using them
for much heavier weights. However from the sonic point of view they
do not provide the same level of sound quality as the Small-DOMES.
