Made from a dense gunmetal alloy, it provides both mass loading and effective energy dissipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• precision-machined gunmetal alloy construction\u003cbr\u003e• optimised surface profile with recessed label area\u003cbr\u003e• high-mass design (2.2kg)\u003cbr\u003e• compatible with a wide range of turntables\u003cbr\u003e• usable with or without a record clamp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign and performance:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tenuto mat is machined from a gunmetal copper alloy containing tin and zinc. This material provides a suitable impedance match for vinyl, allowing energy generated by the stylus to be absorbed and dissipated rather than reflected back into the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe revised surface profile features a label recess that sits 1mm lower than the outer edge. This allows the record to sit securely and evenly across the mat, improving contact and stability during playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials and construction:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• gunmetal copper alloy (copper, tin, zinc)\u003cbr\u003e• precision-machined surface profile\u003cbr\u003e• dense, rigid structure for maximum stability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of mass and material properties helps reduce resonance from the platter, particularly in metal designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSound characteristics:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• improved damping and reduced resonance\u003cbr\u003e• tighter, more controlled playback\u003cbr\u003e• enhanced clarity and stability\u003cbr\u003e• better energy transfer away from the stylus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe additional mass increases the rotational stability of the platter, while the material absorbs unwanted vibrations that can affect sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild and compatibility:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tenuto is suitable for a wide range of turntables, including high-mass and direct drive designs. It pairs particularly well with models such as Technics SP-10 Mk2, as well as classic designs from Lenco, Thorens, Dual, and Garrard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its weight, suspended subchassis turntables may require adjustment to maintain correct suspension and level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• diameter: 293mm\u003cbr\u003e• thickness: 5mm\u003cbr\u003e• weight: 2.2kg\u003cbr\u003e• material: gunmetal alloy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tenuto’s high mass and damping characteristics can significantly affect setup.
