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 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).
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.
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.

Small Ringmat Domes
For
weights up to 55kg, the Large DOMES have a nominal diameter of 56mm
and a height of approx. 25mm.
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.
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.
