Acrylic Turntable Mat Our slipmats have been treated with extra special techniques that allow them to produce a much more understandable and clear sound with excellent separation. Turntable mats significantly improve the sound quality of records. Mats, as the single point of contact between a record and the platter of a turntable, are an effective way to improve your turntable playback experience. Platter mats absorb vibration energy in a unique way, enabling a stylus to make better contact with record grooves.
