"Achromat is the natural progression from the original acrylic interface invented by Arthur Khoubesserian back in 1979. Ongoing refinements in composition and application means that Achromat is now more universal and better than ever. Achromat is the ideal material to absorb energy from the record. There is no better. But it is only 5mm thick and this is where the science kicks in. Millions of tiny bubbles within create complex pathways and that’s where the energy gets lost as heat." - Funk Firm
