"Instead of increasing mass, the concept focused on minimizing the contact surface between the record and its support. By reducing this interface to near-zero—approximately 1–2 square millimeters—the record is effectively decoupled from the underlying structure. This radically alters how vibrations are transmitted and dissipated.

The resulting HEXMAT isolator employs a carefully engineered internal structure and material composition to isolate harmful vibrations while enabling efficient energy transfer. Its design allows the vinyl record to retain its natural damping characteristics, leading to improved transient response, enhanced clarity, and reduced harmonic distortion. Previously masked details in recordings become perceptible, and overall sonic accuracy is significantly improved.

Instrumentational measurements support these observations, demonstrating improved dynamic behavior and reduced noise levels, attributed to more precise groove tracking." - Hexmat
