Micro Seiki CU-180 Copper Mat
The Micro Seiki CU-180 is a turntable mat made of copper, originally marketed for high-end audio enthusiasts. Its key feature is its ability to improve sound quality by adding weight to the platter and providing a clearer transient response. When used with an additional mat, it can also create a sound signature similar to a Linn LP12 turntable, with detailed highs, a smooth mid-section, and transparent bass.
Material: Copper Type: Turntable mat Diameter: Approximately 294mm Weight: 1.8kg Condition: Can vary, with potential for scratches, dents, and oxidation due to age and use Compatibility: Can be used on various turntables Functionality: Can be used with or without an additional mat Construction: Should be perfectly flat to avoid gaps or rocking when placed on the platter Resonance: The CU-180 is designed to dampen resonances, and when used with a platter, it can create a dead thud sound when rapped on, indicating the two devices have constrained each other from exhibiting their natural resonances.
