The MAT, also known as a turntable mat, is a much-used accessory among audiophile enthusiasts, but also by those who use turntables for professional reasons.

Almost all turntables come with a mat, usually made of rubbery material, while others are made of different materials and each one, with its own characteristics, allows for optimal performance of the turntable reading system.

With the MAT 430, the Audio Mass takes a firm position that the surface on which the vinyl disc will rest must be rigid, for this reason the MAT 430 is made of Anticorodal aluminum alloy.

An accurate processing allows obtaining a thickness of only 2.5 millimeters, sufficient to maintain the right rigidity and a contained weight.

With a further processing, a peripheral chamfer is created that allows the thicker edge of the disc to be accommodated, while a central recess, with the insertion of a Teflon washer of appropriate thickness, allows the disc label to be accommodated.

These two particular processes are necessary to seek the best planarity and to avoid the creation of air chambers between the vinyl disc and the MAT 430, creating what can be defined as the drum effect with a degradation of sound quality during disc playback.

Another particular processing present in the Mat 430 is the one on the outer perimeter, this processing allows the Crown 150 to self-center and exert a homogeneous pressure on the perimeter of the vinyl.

The use of the triptych, MAT 430 plus CROWN 150 plus CLAMP 340 Plus/360, acts as a single Harmonic Balancer.

The result experienced when listening to a vinyl record with the Audio Mass treatment, which every audiophile enthusiast can appreciate, is most unexpected.

Preserving the musical signal generated by the source, in its entirety and beauty, is the guiding principle of Audio Mass.
