Achromat's design is quite unique. Millions of tiny bubbles help absorb energy released by the stylus as it pummels the groove - it is after all, "tracing" at over 20,000G! It's the best mat physics can create and for over two decades Achromat has given thousands of record users more enjoyment through better reproduction.

APM (Advanced Platter Mat) by Funk

In the groove, the stylus accelerates at more than 20,000g – like sonar this pile-drives vibrations into the disc. At a boundary change, vinyl to felt/rubber/metal, the vibrations reflect to the stylus. It reads them and creates new error signals, which we hear as colouration. The mat is the only component in contact with the disc so it’s actually the ONLY tool we have to absorb the energy away from the stylus.
