Les Davis 33 1/3 D - Record Slip Mat

Introducing the Les Davis 33 1/3 D - Record Slip Mat, a product born from the mind of a high-end audio visionary and devised using the same technology trusted by the aerospace and aviation industry. Distilled down to its core, this product leverages the concept of Constrained Layer Damping, or CLD for short. Not familiar with that? Let's break it down. Essentially, CLD technology is a groundbreaking technique used to quell vibrations by leveraging a specialty viscoelastic material sandwiched between two rigid layers. But what makes it perfect for turntables? Les Davis, after immersing himself in rigorous research, pioneered an industry leading proprietary CLD material. Once developed, he dedicated ample time to thorough testing until the birth of the Les Davis Audio 3D Constrained Layer Damping devices. The 33 1/3D model in particular, is a deceptively simple audio game-changer; it's a universal answer to reducing vibrations; making it specifically ideal for turntables. By reducing the vibration between stylus and record, it enlivens your audio output phenomenally. Here's the secret - it's not just about reducing noise. It's about enriching the music. With the 33 1/3D, your sound experience is catapulted to greater heights - it will sound fuller, whilst carrying more visceral impact and significantly reducing noise distortion.
