7" Replacement Silicone Rubber Turntable Mat for Ion/Crosley/Vibe
With label recess at the centre to aid adhesion.
Premium quality universal platter mat made of high-grade silicone rubber. No odour, shockproof and durable. Designed as a replacement for suitcase-style record players such as Ion, Vibe, Crosley, and many other similar sized machines.
This mat has a central recess, designed to increase the adhesion of the disc to the platter and improve the sound quality by allowing the record's label to sit inside it. This has the effect of improving tracking and stability, minimising noise and interference that can be transmitted through the tonearm.
Silicone rubber mats have been noted to provide a tighter bass response, as well as offering superb grip helping to reduce unwanted vibrations. There's also a reduction in static build up that is notable compared to mats of other materials, this is due to thick rubber having low conductivity. Rubber mats are perhaps the best material for isolating the record from vibration interference. They offer superb grip and durability, with plenty of listeners reporting a deeper, warmer sound.

| Material | Grip | Static control | Vibration damping | Durability | Best-fit use | Store link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Felt | Low friction; can suit cueing. | Can be static-prone. | Limited damping. | Can collect fluff over time. | Cueing and easy record handling. | Shop felt |
| 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 |
| Acrylic | Rigid contact rather than soft grip. | Not guaranteed to be static-free. | Rigid contact; not soft damping. | May scratch or chip. | Check thickness and turntable compatibility. | Shop acrylic |
These are general tendencies; performance varies with the individual mat and setup.
