Vertere, the Techno Mat, a new accessory to the Vertere range designed to improve the performance of all record players. Techno mat is a two-layer mat comprising a randomly fibrous designed top layer bonded onto a Cork/Polymer compound layer. The top layer provides the record with an almost air cushion-like support. This air cushion keeps the inherent properties and characteristics of the vinyl record itself unchanged. The lower layer provides the required interface and connection to the platter in an inert manner. The two, in combination, create as neutral a support for the vinyl record as possible.Available in two versions Available with a 4.5mm centre hole optimised for use with Vertere MG-1, SG-1 and RG-1 record players or a 7mm centre hole suitable for all other record players. 1. Air Cushion Fibrous Layer Vertere techno mat, thanks to its randomly fibrous designed top layer, provides the record with an almost air cushion like support. This air cushion keeps the inherent properties and characteristics of the vinyl record itself unchanged. 2. Cork/Polymer Compound Layer The bonded Cork/Polymer compound layer, on the other hand, provides the required interface and connection to the platter in an inert manner. The two, in combination, create as neutral' a support for the vinyl record as possible. Installation It is important to remember that simply placing your techno mat onto the platter of your record player or replacing an existing mat, may not explore the full potential of this amazingly 'neutral' sounding record player mat. Before installing the techno mat, first check the tracking weight/force and the VTA that you have your tonearm set to and ensure that after you've installed the techno mat the settings are the same*. If necessary, adjust the VTA and the tracking force as required. This will ensure that your original optimised tonearm/cartridge settings remain as they were. * Some tonearms change tracking force depending on the arm's angle relative to the record. If the thickness of the Vertere techno mat and the mat it replaces are different, this will change VT differences with some tonearms and cartridges can change performance considerably.
