{"product_id":"origin-live-strata","title":"Origin Live Strata record mat ","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product attribute overview\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Strata Mat is a new development from the British manufacturer Origin Live, which actually took several years to develop. According to owner Mark Baker, the problem with classic record mats is that their material composition means they only perform well within a specific frequency range. For Origin Live's first record mat, he therefore had a custom material blend manufactured, enabling a very thin construction that has since been found on thousands of turntables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The new Strata Mat, however, is in a completely different league. At a substantial 5 millimeters thick, it's designed exclusively for users with height-adjustable tonearms. It consists of multiple layers of material and is not intended to provide any support for the LP in its center. The Strata Mat is slightly smaller than an LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eDoes the sonic result have anything to do with the partial bonding of the three layers? And why does it work equally well on glass, metal, and acrylic? What three layers might these be? Mark Baker doesn't reveal exactly what he's come up with. But the sonic result is stunning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The groove noise seems to decrease across the entire frequency range with the Strata Mat. Music sounds bigger, clearer, and more powerful, and surprisingly, the tonality remains unchanged compared to the \"small\" record mat. Recordings that were previously slightly fatiguing seem to benefit particularly, while already great LPs now simply sound even more impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInstructions for use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1. Remove the previous mat and do not place it under or on top of the Strata Mat.\u003cbr\u003e 2. The tonearm height needs to be readjusted. Since many felt mats are around 2 millimeters thick, an additional 3 millimeters in height is often required. \u003cbr\u003e3. The Strata Mat can be slightly eccentric. This does not detract from the sound.\u003cbr\u003e 4. Regularly brush the Strata Mat dry and, when removed, always store it flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Origin Live","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55991811408247,"sku":null,"price":359.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/3567\/9607\/files\/originlive-stratamat.jpg?v=1775235870","url":"https:\/\/klang-maschine.de\/en\/products\/origin-live-strata","provider":"Klang Maschine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
