— More portable, less expensive and lighter than Auralex®’s acclaimed HoverDeck™, the HoverMat™ isolates a drum set from the floor or a hollow stage, reducing coloration from floor resonance and improving sound isolation —

INDIANAPOLIS, IN, August 9, 2012 – Auralex® Acoustics, Inc., the world’s leading brand of acoustical treatments and soon to celebrate its 35th anniversary, is now shipping its new HoverMat™ Isolation Platform. Like Auralex’s critically acclaimed HoverDeck™, the HoverMat isolates a drum set from the floor or a hollow stage, reducing coloration from floor resonance by decoupling the drum kit, thereby resulting in a tighter, more pure sound for both studio and live applications. The HoverMat differs from the HoverDeck by offering a solution that is more portable, lighter and easier to set up & tear down (it simply rolls up) and at a lower price point than the popular HoverDeck. The HoverMat takes up less cubic space than a similarly-sized HoverDeck setup.

The HoverMat comes as a 4′x6′ section of Auralex’s sound-deadening SheetBlokâ„¢ sound barrier material, covered with charcoal gray Ozite-type, commercial-grade, road-ready carpet, and is ideal for musicians on the go, worship groups, live performance venues, or anywhere a drum kit needs additional isolation.
