Same Grooves New Vibes

Developed over the course of 15 years, The Hexmat Yellow Bird Phono Record Isolator is the result of more than 100 prototypes. Designed with patented technology, Hexmat is compatible with any turntable. In addition to improving tracking accuracy, Hexmat will audibly enhance dynamic range, audio detail, impact, clarity, and imaging you hear from your music vinyl LPs.

Measuring only 3 mm in thickness, it’s as easy as removing your existing record mat, place the Hungarian-made Hexmat on your record player, spin an LP, sit back, and listen to the difference the Yellow Bird Phono Record Isolator makes!

The HEXMAT Yellow Bird is a “Set It And Forget” analogue upgrade for most vinylistas out there. Calling it a “mat” is very much an understatement.

The Hexmat Phono Record Isolator reduces vibration, improves tracking accuracy, enhances dynamics, details and impact. Unlike other mats where the record is coupled together to the platter and turntable, the Hexmat isolates and decouple the record from the platter and the rest of the player.

Its 3 mm thick construction – similar in height to a lot of mat variants on the market – surface contact are kept to a bare minimum with only 15 contact points. The contact points measures close to zero at no more than 1-2 sq mm in total and are made up of special spheres utilising vibration damping properties. Looking closely, records almost appears to be floating over the platter when played.

Review:
HEXMAT Eclipse Review – “The Best Platter Mat?” by Marc Henshall @ yoursoundmatters.com
“I’m not a huge fan of flowery language to describe listening tests, but I did note several general improvements in clarity across the frequency spectrum. As a general rule, the mid-range became clearer and more focused, giving an improved sense of instrument separation. Much of this I put down to the lower noise floor.”
“The Eclipse would suit record collectors that are happy with their chosen setup but want to squeeze the best possible performance out of their gear. It’s a subtle improvement, but for many collectors (particularly those with far more impressive and expensive equipment than myself), the price is easily justified as the final icing on the cake.”
