Description
Product Overview
The Hudson Hi-Fi Turntable Slipmat is crafted from premium natural cork, a material prized for its acoustic dampening properties and durability. Measuring 11‑3/8″ in diameter and 1/8″ thick, it fits most standard turntables and complies with RIAA specifications, ensuring minimal static and noise. The non‑conductive surface protects your vinyl from wear while delivering a neutral sound signature that lets the music shine as the artist intended. Weighing just 6.7 ounces, the mat adds stability without over‑loading the platter.
Usage
Designed for both audiophiles and professional DJs, this slipmat excels in home listening rooms, studio environments, and live performance settings. Its low‑resonance cork core reduces feedback on high‑gain systems, making it perfect for critical listening sessions. DJs appreciate the smooth glide for cueing and scratching, while collectors value the added protection for rare records.
