Custom leather construction: - dampens resonance from metal turntables - avoids static load - Suitable for most turntables 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. The mat is made from a single piece of high quality leather and the underside has been intentionally left with a rough and fluffy leather finish, whereas the top is a beautifully finished smooth surface.
