12" Clear Acrylic Turntable Platter Mat
Clear acrylic slipmat for use on all standard 12" turntable platters and on all regular size spindles. Manufactured with high-grade acrylic polymer.
Acrylic is regarded by many as one of the best options for turntable platter mats as the material is virtually the same as a vinyl record. When you place a record directly onto the acrylic surface (without a slip mat), the record is effectively “coupled” with the playing surface. In turn, this results in better performance and sound quality. The chance of mis-tracking caused by movement between the mat and platter is also eradicated.
Precision cut and designed to aid the tonal response of your turntable by reducing static and eliminating vibration. Universal fitting for all types and makes of turntable.
- Colour: Clear

| Cork (pure cork) | Moderate grip. | Generally less static-prone than felt. | Moderate damping tendency. | Edges need care. | A natural-feel option for everyday listening. | Shop cork |
| Cork and rubber | Good grip tendency. | Static behaviour varies by blend. | Good damping tendency. | Generally robust. | A balanced grip and damping option. | Shop cork and rubber |
| Rubber / silicone | High grip tendency. | Static behaviour varies by formulation. | Good damping tendency. | Generally hard-wearing. | A grippy, durable everyday surface. | Shop silicone |
