A FIRM FOUNDATION FOR VIBRATION
CONTROL
As a music lover, you are as selective
about your hi-fi equipment as you are
about your music. Similarly, if you are
a home cinema enthusiast, you will be as
concerned about the
picture as well as the sound. That’s why Ringmat Developments has designed another product to help you get the best possible sound and picture during playback – RINGMAT FEET.
RINGMAT FEET control and disperse the mechanical
and electrical vibrations that would otherwise
spoil the sound quality of hi-fi and the sound
and picture of home cinema systems. These
vibrations are natural by-products of any hi-fi
or home cinema system, and they cause loss of
information and signal phase distortions.
RINGMAT FEET minimise the effect of these
vibrations.
You’ll notice the difference immediately.
Just place Ringmat Feet under each foot of a
hi-fi component and hear your music come to
life!
RINGMAT TECHNOLOGY AT WORK
Constructed from a careful selection of materials, RINGMAT FEET work in much the same way as a RINGMAT, controlling the mechanical vibrations and the effects of resonance by decoupling equipment from their support surfaces and dispersing vibrational energy into the air in and around the FEET.
Through the inclusion in each set of RINGMAT FEET of a STATFOOT, based on our STATMAT technology, the problems of electrical vibration (static and the interaction with unwanted electromagnetic fields) are also noticeably reduced. This is achieved by decoupling electromagnetic fields by breaking the contacts between the equipment and their support surfaces.
The problem with mechanical and electrical
vibrations is that they corrupt the signals by
introducing phase errors and therefore
contaminate the sound of hi-fi systems and
reduce the picture quality in home cinema
systems. By using RINGMAT FEET, the result is a
cleaner, crisper sound, that’s far more musical
and closer to the original recording, and in the
case of home cinema systems, an improved
picture.
RINGMAT FEET DEVELOPMENT
Since their launch in 1999, there have been
constant design improvements in the materials
used to make RINGMAT FEET. Nearly all the
materials used have now been changed to ones
that work to a higher specification, and with
each change an improvement in sound quality has
usually resulted. No other form of component
support matches RINGMAT FEET. From the beginning
of 2005, the range of RINGMAT FEET available
expanded from 2 to 5.
The 5 types of RINGMAT FEET are:
-
CHEETAH (previously called Lightweight (LW) Feet)
-
TIGER (previously called Heavy Duty (HD) Feet)
-
INDIAN JUMBO
-
AFRICAN JUMBO
-
MAMMOTH
The flexing of the plastic discs and the compression of the foam rings combine to absorb and disperse the vibrations and any resonance affecting any item of equipment that rests on the Feet. The degree of flexing and compression depends upon the weight of the equipment being supported. Too much or too little weight either over-flexes/over-compresses or under-flexes/under-compresses the relevant components and therefore it is important that the Feet chosen are the right ones for the weight of equipment to be supported. Accordingly, we use variations in the number and thickness of the plastic discs used, the thickness and density of the foam and the thickness of the cork rings and poron spirals, and the number of poron spirals to achieve to appropriate blend for each weight range up to 69 kilos.
There are variations in the weight ranges according to the number of RINGMAT FEET used. Of course, this has to correspond to the number of ‘feet’ or cones used under the item of equipment to be supported, or, for example, the number of RINGMAT DOMES used in place of the equipment’s own feet (or where the equipment has no ‘feet’ of its own, such as may be the case with loudspeakers).

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
For best results where cones are used, the
smaller contact area, or ‘point’, should be
uppermost under the equipment itself, not
pointing down into the support surface below.
To avoid oscillation, one RINGMAT FOOT in any
set of 3 or 4 FEET operates in a stiffer fashion
to the others in the set. The same approach is
used for RINGMAT DOMES. Contrary to
expectations, the stiffer RINGMAT FOOT (or
denser RINGMAT DOME) should always be used under
the least weight bearing corner or other support
area of the item to be supported.
RINGMAT FEET must rest on a flat surface.
Usually, this would be a hard surface, such as
found with shelves and floors, but some users
report that they have achieved very good results
on carpet. However, with some carpets there
could be difficulty in keeping the Statfeet
flat.
With each set of RINGMAT FEET there is
one STATFOOT, which is a square of our
patented anti-static film. The STATFOOT
is to be used beneath one, but only one,
of the RINGMAT FEET in accordance with
the instructions included with each set
of FEET. STATFEET can also be used on
their own by placing them under one, but
only one, ordinary foot of each
component, which can include
loudspeakers as well as electrical
equipment. STATFEET not only improve the
sound but also the picture quality in
home cinema systems. STATFEET can
therefore be used separately throughout
the reproduction system and for economy
they are available in packs of 6.
Moreover, one STATMAT used on top of
another in the same position increases
their power, and therefore their
performance. For more information about
STATFEET, click here.
In addition to RINGMAT FEET, we
recommend using the RINGMAT DOMES in
place of the ordinary feet that are
supplied with items of equipment, where
such a substitution is appropriate. For
example, where the base plate or other
form of base used (such as the bottom of
loudspeakers) can bear the weight in the
required position without bending the base plate or otherwise causing possible damage.
RINGMAT DOMES are made of compressed cork with a
domed top and flat bottom and are far superior
to conventional cones. For more information
about RINGMAT DOMES, clickhere.
RINGMAT FEET and RINGMAT DOMES can be used on
their own but used together they produce an even
better result.
OUR MISSION: TO ACHIEVE THE BEST SOUND AND
PICTURE POSSIBLE
RINGMAT FEET are one of a family of Ringmat
products that effectively reduce information
loss and phase distortion. Much of this
information loss and phase distortion comes
about through mechanical and electrical
vibrations in sound and home cinema reproduction
systems. Ringmat Developments is continually
researching new techniques in its quest to
eliminate these unwanted vibrations.
