STATFEET

Statfeet are 89mm squares of conductive polypropylene film, coated with specially formulated inks to form powerful, yet passive, electrical devices. Their unique design, using Ringmat Developments’ proprietary STATMAT® technology, breaks up the interference from electromagnetic fields that would otherwise build up around components from their surroundings.

Statfeet are used under Ringmat Feet, the feet of components, or under Ringmat Domes, cones or other forms of single point isolation support where they are used in place of a component’s own feet or where a component has no feet of its own. Such components may be loudspeakers, turntables, CD, DVD and SACD players, televisions, video recorders and other items of hi-fi or A/V equipment. Each loudspeaker should be considered a separate component.

Statfoot is automatically supplied with each set of Ringmat Feet.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Statfeet should be used under only one foot of any component or under only one Ringmat Dome, cone or other form of single point isolation support where these are used in place of a component’s own feet or where a component has no feet of its own.

We recommend one of the rear feet of a component (or Ringmat Dome, cone or other isolation support), usually the one on the right (assuming there are two rear feet or positions). However, some experimentation as to which component foot to use may be worthwhile in view of differences between components. For televisions place under the right hand front foot because of the static associated with the screen.

Statfeet should be used underneath a component in only one location.

Where several components are stacked on a multi-shelved systems table, one or more Statfeet may need to be used on the left-hand side instead of all on the right. Again, this can only be determined by experimentation, ie. through listening tests using one Statfoot at a time, following the signal chain. Start with the source component(s), then move to the pre-amp, then to the power amp.

When placing a Statfoot underneath the foot of a component (or Ringmat Dome, cone or other isolation support), try to ensure that:

the whole of the Statfoot rests upon the support surface and that part of it does not hang over the edge of the support;

the Statfoot is orientated so that the corner containing the two circular cut-outs is placed nearest or towards the centre of the support platform (ie, that part of the support surface which is directly under the centre of the component). This requirement usually changes when using the “BLUE” series of Statmats, CDi BLUE and LP BLUE – see the instructions with these products.

so far as is practicable, the component’s foot (or Ringmat Dome, cone or other isolation support) rests centrally on the Statfoot.

Using one Statfoot on top of another increases the power and improves sound quality still further. When using two Statfeet on top of each other, align the Statfeet so that the patterns overlay each other as exactly as is practicable.

Statfeet are powerful, though passive, electrical devices. Their beneficial effect can last for some time after their removal. Leaving them lying elsewhere in the vicinity of your hi-fi system could affect the sound coming from the system.
