Reduces Vibration and Static Electricity for Heightened LP Clarity
Getting less than optimal sound from your turntable platter? Put a cork in it! Or “on it,” we should say. The Ortofon SM-101 Cork Record Mat uses multilayer cork construction to reduce vibration, heightening the clarity of music playback from your vinyl records. It fits all turntables and is especially helpful when used with a metal platter.
Cork vs. Felt or Rubber Mats
The Ortofon Cork Record Mat provides an extremely effective upgrade over felt or rubber mats. Felt mats have the disadvantage of accumulating static electricity. They can easily attract dust and transfer it to your record. Plus they have limited damping ability. Rubber turntable mats often provide too much damping, and they can have an isolation effect, which leaves the static electricity on the record to attract dust and cause clicks and pops when you play a record.
Ortofon’s durable cork mat helps lessen static electricity while your records are playing, and it provides just the right level of damping. So whether you are using a felt mat, rubber mat, or no mat at all, you will love the improvement in LP sound when you use the Ortofon Cork Record Mat.
