Pro-Ject Leather-IT Black Turntable Mat

The Pro-Ject Leather IT turntable mat is designed to enhance the sound of your turntable. Fitting over the centre spindle and sitting comfortably on a 12-inch platter, the mat is designed to offer a better playback surface than the felt or cork alternatives.

Common felt mats give a smooth contact between record and platter but has the disadvantage with static. That means that felt mats often collect a lot of dust which can be then transfered to the record. Also the damping ability is very limited which can be a problem with metal platters. Thick rubbermats overdamp the record and have an isolation effect which leaves the static on the record and hearable noise clicks are the result.

Leather and Cork are 2 different but very interesting options to upgrade the sound quality. Resonances Are damped more effectively than felt, they keep dust away and they have also enough contactivity to avoid static.

What is better depends on taste and the actual platter design.A very cost effective way to improve the sound and have less noise by static and dust. You can hear a difference!

The mat improves performance by reducing vibration transfer to the playing surface, allowing your cartridge to deliver a more stable high-fidelity performance. The high-friction but smooth surface also allows for fluid record rotation with minimal slip.

  • Alternative platter mats with special sound characteristics

  • Damping of resonances from metal turntable platters
  • Less noise
  • Avoids static load

Pros

Great slipmat

Minuses

No

Review

Bought to replace a complete felt. The main reason was the accumulation of statics with a felt mat (there is no grounding in the apartment), the adhesion of the plate and dust and the transfer of this dust to other records. The choice was between this and the cork, and was obvious, due to the short -lived traffic jam and the inability to brush it from dust, at a comparable price. Expectations were 100% acquitted. It seemed to me that the sound also improved, but perhaps it only seemed to me that the level of technology. Well, I would like to note that he, despite the beautiful photo, is not a leather but two -sidedly suede. Although, maybe I got a marriage :)

Pros

High -quality leather slipmate

Minuses

There are no minuses

Review

Remove the complete felt mat. Somehow it picked up that he would “stick” to the plate when turning it over. Static phenomena and clicks have become much smaller. The bass became not much, but more collected. The thickness of the mat is universal, no tonarm settings are required for most vinyl players. Anyone who has problems with statics I recommend trying

Pros

An interesting solution to the problem of vibro-, sound insulation of the disc from the disk

Minuses

In principle, no

Review

I recommend putting this plate slipmate (if the tonarm height allows), an interesting solution. The effect is noticeable. Forely, the manufacturers put various cloth, felt slipmars for vinyl players. The felt micro does not fulfill their main function - vibro, sound insulation of the plate from external vibrations. By the way, there are no complaints about the quality of this slimat
