Get Better Tracking, Greater Isolation, and Lower Noise from Vinyl LP Playback for Pennies on the Dollar: Hassle-Free Music Hall Aztec Blue Record Mat Increases Dynamics, Accuracy, and Focus
Help maximize the potential of your turntable and unlock the complexity and pacing of your favorite LPs with the Music Hall Aztec Blue record mat. Aztec Blue takes the famous neutrality of cork and applies an innovative design approach that effectively decouples your vinyl from the noisy spinning platter. The technique isolates your highly sensitive tonearm and cartridge from turntable-generated vibrations and resonances that smear timing and affect the pacing, dynamics, and accuracy of playback sound. Because Aztec Blue enables better stylus tracking, your records will sound more transparent and retain a like-new condition.
A step up from Music Hall's basic cork mat, Aztec Blue uses a dual-layer design. Strategically placed decoupling rectangles on its outer edges lift the record, floating it above the foundation layer of the mat. Because Aztec Blue maintains a firmer grip compared to many other commonly used mat materials, it reduces disc slippage that can rob your music of excitement and realism. And unlike some aftermarket mats, Aztec Blue remains free of messy adhesive and is thin enough that additional VTA adjustments are rarely needed after installation.
Proper isolation is key to stellar vinyl playback, and Aztec Blue is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to get even more out of your precious records. Of course, Aztec Blue Record Mat also comes with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
"For fun, I placed jazz singer Etta Jones 1963 Prestige LP, Hollar!, on the Aztec. Etta's voice and piano trio was clean, with good vocal decay. Again, there was great tone-fullness. Excellent decay on vocals and cymbals. And the upright was sweetly low and lowdown!"
