COMPANY PROFILE
Experience
a fresh new sound from your hi-fi
You may have some of the greatest
musical performances ever recorded in your CD and record collection,
but are you experiencing the full ‘live’ effect when you listen
to them?
All hi-fi systems are subject to
vibration and static build-up, which take more than an edge off the
sound before it reaches your ears. Their effects are insidious
because you are not always consciously aware of them until they have
been removed. Yet a purer, cleaner, more dynamic reproduction that
will surprise and delight can be achieved easily and cost
effectively by using our products to minimise those distortions.
 Each
of our products is designed to complement and enhance your existing
hi-fi system and is simple to use. They each contribute to a fresh,
new clarity and tonal quality from your hi-fi system, whether you
are listening to CD, records or the radio.
We are the world’s leading
specialists in the geometry of sound and resonance in materials.
Thousands of our products are in daily use with music lovers around
the world, including musicians and music and hi-fi reviewers and are
recommended by hi-fi companies.
 RINGMAT
DEVELOPMENTS was founded in 1992 for the purpose of manufacturing
and marketing RINGMAT, a leading LP record support mat. The company
is part of the Quality Records (QR) Group, established in 1982,
which also comprises QR Design.
QR Design develops a range of
high-quality hi-fi products designed to transform the playback of
CDs and LPs. Founding member John Rogers, drawing on over 20 years'
experience in sound reproduction, leads the company's research and
development programme. The goal of QR Design is to produce products
which enhance the sound quality of CDs and LPs played on a variety
of hi-fi systems, in order to recreate the experience of the
original performance. Ringmat Developments is responsible for
delivering those products to the music-loving public.
 RINGMAT
is the Group's highly successful flagship product in the field of
vinyl record sound reproduction. RINGMAT is the first LP record
support which has been specifically designed to generate an
accurate, low distortion signal, creating a new standard in LP sound
quality.
In
addition to other activities in the field of high-fidelity sound
reproduction, QR Design has been heavily engaged in the development
of RINGMAT, STATMAT, RINGMAT FEET and a number of new products to be
marketed by
RINGMAT Developments. Ringmat Feet and other new
products, currently under development, will radically transform CD
playback still further.
RINGMAT FEET - placed under each
'foot' of a CD player, reduce vibrations and resultant phase
distortions. Using RINGMAT technology and geometry, prototypes of
these FEET bring dramatic improvements in sound quality, far in
excess of any comparable product presently on the market. They can
be used with or without RINGMAT ANTI-RESONANCE PLATFORMS;
RINGMAT ANTI-RESONANCE PLATFORMS
control resonance's under a CD player, where it interfaces with its
support surface. Prototype PLATFORMS demonstrate still further
improvements in sound quality;
 RINGMAT
CABLES provide a more phase-coherent link from the CD player to the
amplifier and beyond. RINGMAT CABLES were initially designed for QR
Design's development lab, when no cable previously tried offered the
required degree of phase accuracy. Compatible with a wide range of
components, the cables provide a clarity and musical coherence
seldom achieved using even the most advanced cables.
In addition, anti-resonance supports
for amplifiers and a number of new products for turntables and vinyl
playback are also available or currently being developed.
The QR Group aims to build on the
many excellent products already on the market. By incorporating the
appropriate RINGMAT accessories in each system, however modest, the
listener may be able to bring the original recorded performance into
the room, with all the feeling of a 'live' occasion. Ultimately,
this should enable all music lovers to achieve a truer, more
enjoyable musical experience.

Rogers has written a series of articles entitled ‘How to
get the best out of a hi-fi system’ in collaboration
with some of the UK's leading hi-fi designers. The series

available in booklet form from Ringmat Developments. It is
hoped to reproduce other articles on the Ringmat website.
