This is a Cork mat designed to fit all Pro-Ject series turntables, except Debut II and III models (the Debut Carbon and Debut S/E 3 are compatible). The use of Cork gives the mat special sonic qualities, well-suited to certain deck/cartridge combinations, and also different room-types.

A very cost effective way to improve the sound and have less noise by static and dust.

Product Description
Delivery

The use of cork rather than felt (which is more commonly found as a turntable mat) is actually preferred by some audiophiles, as cork causes less 'slip' effect under the record than felt does; allowing for a tighter performance.

May not be suitable for turntable models without adjustable VTA.

Turntable mats have been always a big discussion how they influence the sound. The interaction between the record and the surface can be tracked very easily by the super sensitivity of a good pick up cartridge. 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 transferred to the record. Also the damping ability is very limited which can be a problem with metal platters. Thick rubber mats over damp 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 two 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.
