TiGLON BFA-MAT Turntable Mat
Taxes & Shipping Included
Engineered by Black Forest Audio's Gerd Volker Kühn in collaboration with TIGLON, this premium turntable mat targets the acoustic interference caused by motor vibration and structural resonance. By dissipating unwanted energy as internal heat rather than allowing it to reach the stylus, the BFA-MAT preserves sonic clarity, timing precision, and dynamic range. Its lightweight, rigidly structured foam core minimizes mass while maximizing energy absorption—a philosophy shared with TIGLON's acclaimed BFA-CLAMP. The result is transparent, uncolored sound reproduction that honors the integrity of your vinyl collection.
In many cases, excess energy generated by motors, bearings, internal structures, etc., reaches the platter from the needle and has a negative effect, but the BFA-MAT converts this excess energy into heat internally to reproduce sound without loss of clarity, timing, or dynamics. The inside of the BFA-MAT is a fine, rigid foam structure. The BFA-MAT is an ideal turntable sheet, with a fine and very hard foam structure inside, and like the BFA-CLAMP, it is made as light as possible to achieve a faithful sound.
Developed by Gerd Volker Kühn of Black Forest Audio, a sound partner of TIGLON and a key influence in the development of the TPL (Tiglon Premium Line) series, this turntable mat is designed to address excess energy generated by the motor, bearings, and internal structure, which typically reaches the needle and negatively impacts sound quality.
The BFA-MAT converts this excess energy into heat internally, allowing it to reproduce sound without compromising transparency, timing, or dynamics. The interior features a finely detailed and very rigid foam structure, and, like the BFA-CLAMP, it is designed to be as lightweight as possible, making it an ideal turntable mat for achieving faithful sound reproduction.
Features
-
Energy Conversion: Excess energy generated by the turntable's motor, bearings, and internal structures can reach the platter and negatively affect the sound. The
BFA-MATis designed to convert this unwanted mechanical energy into heat internally, allowing for sound reproduction without loss of clarity, timing, or dynamics.
- Lightweight & Rigid: Developed in collaboration with Germany's Black Forest Audio, the mat, like the BFA-CLAMP, is intentionally lightweight (not explicitly weighted in search results, but described as such) to prevent the accumulation of wasted energy that can interfere with the tracking process. It uses a fine and very hard foam structure internally for rigidity.
- Material: The mat is constructed from carbon fiber.
- Size: The mat has a diameter of 294mm and a thickness of 5mm.
