{"product_id":"dual-plattentellermatte-schwer","title":"Dual Heavy Platter Mat, Upgrade for CS Models","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dual heavy platter mat is a platter mat weighing around 300 grams that gives the record a stable surface and can reduce unwanted resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes an upgrade doesn't start with electronics, but with what the record lies on. The mat is the most inconspicuous part of the chain and precisely for that reason worth a look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a heavy mat?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore mass means a calmer support: the mat damps vibrations that would otherwise build up between platter and record. The effect is subtle rather than spectacular, but anyone who knows their system hears it as a tidier, more stable overall impression. Two embossed Dual logos decorate the surface, and an integrated finger recess makes it easier to lift 7-inch singles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 4 mm thick mat with a diameter of 290 mm and a weight of around 300 g. It fits common platters and can also be used with turntables from other manufacturers, provided the platter is suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the mat for? (and who is it not for – plain talk)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Dual CS owners who want to bring more calm to the deck with little effort. Important before buying: check the platter diameter, the additional mat height and the available height adjustment range of the tonearm. If in doubt, we will take a look together with you. It is no miracle cure, but a sensible fine-tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn inexpensive, tangible upgrade for everyone who wants to teach their Dual more composure.
