Sound specialist Ringmat Developments is proud to announce
what it claims to be the biggest advance in CD reproduction
since compact discs were introduced in 1983. The STATMAT electrostatic
control
system is designed to enhance the reproduction quality of
CD recorded music. STATMAT eliminates the problem of low-level
voltage surges, by evening out the electrostatic charges which
build up during play. This results in greater resolution and
separation, a wider, deeper soundstage, enhanced power and
dynamics and an overall cleaner, crisper sound. The size and
shape of a standard compact disc, STATMAT is simply placed
on the CD in the tray. Unlike competitive products, no treatment
of the disc itself is necessary. Moreover, its lightweight
material ensures that the transport mechanism does not suffer
from any additional weight.
"..What I heard was impressive, though Statmat is a
tricky product to compare on an A/B basis, as it seems to
have a temporary conditioning effect on both disc and player
The kind of improvement made by Statmat is hard to describe
in a few words.
The sound isn't just smoother, sweeter or sharper. Rather,
the music itself seems to change, becoming rhythmically more
cohesive, and altogether more purposeful and coherent. Statmat
increases the sense of depth and space around voices and instruments,
expanding dynamic range to give more light and shade, so tonal
colours are subtler and more varied."
Jimmy Hughes (Hi-Fl choice, December 1997)
"I can do no more than this to describe to you my perceived
benefits of the CDi Statmat in my system. At 28 Euros (16
Euros for an upgrade), little more than the cost of a CD,
the latest Statmat incarnation imparts an extra degree of
involvement to the reproduction."
