Cork & Rubber it 1MM
A blend of cork and rubber materials combined to bring the sonic benefits of both while filling in the deficiencies of each material as an individual.

Isolating the critical parts of your turntable is vitally important when trying to achieve true audiophile quality vinyl playback. A key step in this, which is often overlooked, is isolating the actual vinyl record from the turntable platter. Quality cartridges are extremely sensitive, and can easily detect interactions between your record and an imperfect platter surface.

Standard felt mats have poor anti-static characteristics, which attracts dust to your precious vinyl. They are also often too thin for effective acoustic isolation from the platter, especially those platters made from metal. However, thick rubber mats can isolate the record from your turntable too much, making the record sound lifeless and without character. 

As the name suggests, Cork & Rubber it uses a carefully blended mix of cork and rubber to offer the ultimate acoustic control of rubber alongside the anti-static properties of cork. Cork & Rubber it is available in 1mm thickness, ideal for any turntables as there will be no need to adjust VTA when switching from a felt alternative.

There are many materials that can help improve your sound, from heavyweight glass platters, to acrylic, to vinyl topped however, one simple upgrade you can make is to switch out the felt mat (that comes as standard on many turntables) with a cork one. This easy change offers a dampened surface from which to play your record, resulting in a tighter and more accurate reproduction, as well as the additional benefit of reduced static which will massively improve your listening experience.
