Celebrating ten years of Ringmat design, this is the first new Ringmat to be introduced since 1996. Based on the immensely successful 330 MkII XLR, the Anniversary Ringmat has the anti-resonance cut-outs to be found in Ringmat Spacers and new concepts for the operation of the rings.
With the other Ringmats, the rubber-based adhesive used included a polyester carrier, which acted as an interface between the cork rings and the special paper substrate, with the Anniversary, the acrylic adhesive used does not involve a carrier and a more direct contact is made between the cork rings and the substrate. This creates a more immediate sense of presence in the sound and a much stronger bond between the rings and the paper.
The anti-resonance cut-outs improve the dynamics and the amount of information retrieved and help create a much larger, wider sound stage.
