Product Information

Acrylic Turntable Mats: This turns out to be a surprise to us that some owners will like to have an acrylic turntable mat. This is partly because of the surface as it can provide constant rpm as well as a reduction in vibration. And all of these is a bonus as it will help to produce better sounds due to the dampening of vibrations. The main reason why there can be a significant reduction in vibrations is due to the similarity of materials between the mat as well as to the records. Overall, felt is a cheap material, and while it’s not a bad option, you could certainly do a bit better if you’re willing to pay a bit more. I will say, however, that felt mats provide the most interesting and fun designs–if you care about how your felt mat looks. Choose a mat that fits your turntable. A direct-drive turntable may be louder than a belt-drive model, so choosing the right mat will make a difference. Additionally, consider how heavy your turntable is and the material of the platter itself. A heavier-weight mat will add less friction to the surface, but it will add to the overall noise and vibration. Some materials will also help minimize static while others will dampen the sound. There are several functions for a turntable mat or a turntable slipmat. While some people might think that it is for aesthetics, there are actually various functions of the turntable slipmats itself. If you’re here, you probably already know just how important a good turntable mat is – the right turntable mat improves sound in so many fundamental and clearly obvious ways, and can even make your records and your needle last longer.

While the price may not be an issue for some, other people may have a tight budget. There’s a mat for everyone. Improved Soundstage and Clarity – Because acrylic has an analogous resonant frequency to the PVC material in vinyl records, it aids in the cancellation of reverberations resulting in a more 3-dimensional soundstage with improved bass definition, a richer mid range and greater overall signal clarity. No, turntable mats are designed to protect your records from damage. However, some mats can leave residue on the record, which can affect the sound quality. Rubber mats, in particular, are known for leaving residue on the record. To avoid this issue, you can choose a mat that is designed to be anti-static or use a record cleaner to remove any residue that may have accumulated on the record. It’s also important to clean your turntable mat regularly to avoid any build-up of dust or debris that could scratch or damage your records. Conclusion
