HEXMAT -Eclipse Phono Record Isolator Mat

Building on the initial success of Yellow Bird, Eclipse provides better performance, with its extra features. When Yellow Bird was introduced in 2019, proving the idea of isolation works perfectly without changing the tonal balance. Eclipse is the product that allows you hear your record's fidelity of sound without restraint.

The body shape is cut from the extruded polymer material by a precision laser cutting machine. After a long process of cleaning and polishing, the spheres are manually mounted individually into the holes with a specifically designed tool.

 

The contact surface has been reduced between the body and the spheres for better vibration control. This helps to make the background much more transparent compared to Yellow Bird.

The 15, 3mm diameter, specially embedded spheres have inherited properties from heavy industry. The materials perform much better than the spheres used in Yellow Bird. Overall thickness of the Hexmat is 3mm. The body is a 2mm extruded polymer blend that was developed to drastically increase the damping coefficient

Quite astonishing

Wow. Totally bowled over by this tweak. Taken the place of the 3mm felt stock matt on my Nottingham Analogue Ace Spacedeck with Origin Live Silver Mk 3 arm, and Dynavector 10x5 cart. In summary...

-much more natural sounding
- non fatiguing, stress free and neutral sound signature
- superior transparency
- cleaner, lower noise floor
- better, deeper linear bass, with control and zero booming
- more micro and macro detail
- wider, deeper, more layered 3D soundstage. The stage is pushed back several rows
- superior seperation and space between instruments
- pinpoint stereo imaging
- detailed but smooth high frequencies
- superior midrange clarity and spaciousness

Bit of voodoo going on here..the decoupling technology really does work!

Eclipse platter mat

Wow I cannot believe the difference between the Eclipse and my OL platter mats .The drummer is right in front of you the soundstage is much better and the music comes alive .But I must state you will need to get VTA exactly right so you will need to have VTA adjustment on your tonearm.
