Ringmat Isolation Mounts

General Information

"When you manage to achieve this sort of effect in your system, you suddenly find yourself able to hear more easily into the recording"

Hi-Fi+ Nov/Dec 2001

RINGMAT FEET control the mechanical and electrical vibrations which otherwise contaminate the sound quality of hi-fi and the sound and picture of audio visual systems. These are natural by-products of any hi-fi or audio visual setup, which cause loss of information and signal phase distortions.

RINGMAT FEET minimise the effect of vibrations where components are placed upon shelves or other forms of support, including many types of anti-vibration platform.

You’ll notice the difference immediately. Just place RINGMAT FEET under each foot of a relevant component and hear your playback come to life.

Our mission: to achieve the perfect sound

RINGMAT FEET are one of a family of Ringmat products which effectively reduce information loss and phase distortion. Ringmat Developments continually researches new techniques in its quest to eliminate unwanted vibrations.

The Ringmat Feet are constructed according to Ringmat principles of dispersing vibration into the air in a controlled manner without oscillation. They consist of two plastic discs between which are a cork ring and a poron spiral spring - poron is a rapid recovery material used in the aerospace industry. There are two foam rings under the lower disc and cork ring flexes the lower plastic disc between the foam rings. On the top is a smaller, centrally placed, plastic covered steel disc which flexes the top plastic disc within the cork ring below.

RINGMAT FEET have been designed using the same technology developed for Ringmat Developments’ core products, the RINGMAT SUPPORT SYSTEM (RSS) and STATMAT. Using FEET in conjunction with RSS and STATMAT will improve sound quality even further. In the case of Audio Visual systems, the picture also.

Use RINGMAT FEET with:

Turntables
CD players
SACD players
DVD players
Tuners
Tape players
Amplifiers
A/V amplifiers
Power supplies
Loudspeakers
And any other hi-fi or audio visual component.

To order your RINGMAT FEET or to discuss your requirements, contact your local dealer, supplier or Ringmat Developments.

Coming soon: RINGMAT CABLES and RINGMAT ANTI-RESONANCE PLATFORMS, to be used under RINGMAT FEET.

Ringmat technology at work

Constructed from a careful selection of materials, RINGMAT FEET work in much the same way as RINGMAT and STATMAT. Together, they disperse vibrational energy into the air in and around the FEET and break the electromagnetic field between the component and its support surface. The result: a cleaner, crisper sound, that’s far more musical and closer to the original recording. In the case of audio visual setups, an improved picture.

There are three types of RINGMAT FEET, each fulfilling its own function: LW FEET and HD feet (light-weight and heavy-duty) disperse vibrational energy, while ST FEET break the electromagnetic field interference.

RINGMAT FEET are packaged as follows:

CONTENTS NOMINAL THICKNESS DIMENSIONS
For four-footed components up to 13kg

4 Ringmat LW Feet 7.7mm 73.5mm diameter
1 Ringmat ST Foot 0.03mm 89mm square

For three-footed components up to 10.5kg

3 Ringmat LW Feet 7.7mm 73.5mm diameter
1 Ringmat ST Feet 0.03mm 89mm square

For four-footed components from 13.5 to 21kg

4 Ringmat HD Feet 8.8mm 73.5mm diameter
1 Ringmat ST Feet 0.03mm 89mm square

For three-footed components from 11kg to 17kg

3 Ringmat HD Feet 8.8mm 73.5mm diameter
1 Ringmat ST Feet 0.03mm 89mm square

Weight limitations are approximate and depend on the nature and shape of the component's own feet. Where these have a relatively small contact area at the bottom of the feet, the above weight limitations will need to be reduced accordingly. Conversely, if cones are used, with the small contact area uppermost under the component itself, the weight limitations could be increased.

Ringmat Domes

Use 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 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.
