Vertere, the Techno Mat, a new accessory to the Vertere range designed to improve the performance of all record players.

Techno mat is a two-layer mat comprising a randomly fibrous designed top layer bonded onto a Cork/Polymer compound layer. The top layer provides the record with an almost air cushion-like support. This air cushion keeps the inherent properties and characteristics of the vinyl record itself unchanged. The lower layer provides the required interface and connection to the platter in an inert manner. The two, in combination, create as neutral a support for the vinyl record as possible.

Available in two versions

Available with a 4.5mm centre hole optimised for use with Vertere MG-1, SG-1 and RG-1 record players or a 7mm centre hole suitable for all other record players.

1. Air Cushion Fibrous Layer

Vertere techno mat, thanks to its

randomly fibrous designed top layer,

provides the record with an almost air cushion like

support. This air cushion keeps the inherent properties and

characteristics of the vinyl record itself unchanged.

2. Cork/Polymer Compound Layer

The bonded Cork/Polymer compound layer, on the other hand, provides

the required interface and connection to the platter in an inert manner.

The two, in combination, create as neutral' a support for the vinyl record

as possible.

Installation

It is important to remember that simply placing your techno mat onto the

platter of your record player or replacing an existing mat, may not explore

the full potential of this amazingly 'neutral' sounding record player mat.

Before installing the techno mat, first check the tracking weight/force and

the VTA that you have your tonearm set to and ensure that after you've

installed the techno mat the settings are the same*. If necessary, adjust

the VTA and the tracking force as required.

This will ensure that your original optimised tonearm/cartridge settings

remain as they were.

* Some tonearms change tracking force depending on the arm's angle relative to the record. If the thickness of the Vertere techno mat and the mat it replaces are different, this will change VT differences with some tonearms and cartridges can change performance considerably.

World famous Doug Brady Hi-Fi was born in Liverpool in the late 1950’s at the same time as turntables, vinyl and The Beatles. This cultural revolution with Liverpool at the centre, heralded the very first ‘Brady’ shop W.A.Brady & Son in the city's Smithdown Road.

Opened in 1960 W.A.Brady & Son was the start of something amazing and as word got around, turntable sales rocketed. Success soon followed with a flag ship store launched in Covent Garden London.

Doug Brady had a passion for all things music and was instrumental in establishing some of the UK’s finest ‘High Fidelity’ audio electronic and turntable brands such as Naim, Rega and Chord Electronics.

In the early 1980’s the business moved to a more central location half way between Manchester and Liverpool at Kingsway North, Warrington, Cheshire and that’s where we are based to this day.

Our core principle is to provide each individual customer with the very best sound and vision experience in their home regardless of whether their budget is £1,000 or £100,000 though an informed and unbiased opinion.
