Synergistic Research UEF Record Mat No. 1

Synergistic Research’s first in a series of record mats with a new UEF Treatment that dramatically improves sound quality with a lower noise floor, improved soundstaging and enhanced tonal clarity on even the finest turntables. It starts with a unique carbon fiber disc that kills unwanted vibration between your record and platter without deadening or compressing sound. Then a synthetic dampening material was added to improve musicality. After that, something is done only Synergistic Research can, they developed the first in a series of UEF treatments between the carbon fiber disc and the synthetic dampening material to dramatically expand your soundstage with a natural tonal quality that is balanced and musical.

In future iterations, Synergistic Research will offer UEF treatments voiced for even more holographic soundstaging, improved vocals, even enhanced dynamics. But for the first UEF Record Mat, they went for a broad balance that checks all the boxes and stresses musicality without fatigue.
