RINGMAT SPACERS
 RINGMAT
SPACERS have two functions: they provide a necessary interface
between RINGMAT and the turntable and allow the stylus rake angle to
be adjusted to the right position. The spacers improve the sound
dynamics, acting as a buffer between the low-mass RINGMAT and the
high-mass platter. In addition they allow listeners to replicate the
angle of the record’s original cutting stylus – a correctly
angled stylus axis results in the correct tracking of the grooves,
thereby eliminating another cause of distortion.
RINGMAT SPACERS are used on the bare
platter, underneath the LP STATMAT and RINGMAT, and comprise three
layers. The first layer is a non-slip Spacer Mat, with a stud on the
outer edge to prevent the smooth, plastic Base and Top spacers from
slipping while a record is being played. It also acts as a damper
for certain types of platter, especially metal ones which may
"ring" when in use.
 The
second layer is the Base Spacers, which have a special low resonance
pattern cut on the inside. The thinner Top Spacers, which form the
third layer, have the same complex pattern and are used on top of
the Base Spacers.
RINGMAT SPACERS enable the stylus
rake angle to be easily and accurately set for each LP without
having to adjust the height of the tonearm or the stylus pressure
and without losing a reference point to which to return. Adjustments
are made by using combinations of Spacers of different thicknesses
to lift the record off the platter to the appropriate height.
