Limited edition of 100 Glow In The Dark slipmat
If you’re wondering “what is a slipmat?” or “do I need a slipmat for my turntable”, you may not realize how a mat improves your vinyl experience!
The true reason for a turntable slipmat is to allow the record to spin freely, so that a DJ can back cue a record to the precise spot they want a cut to begin (also done in the broadcast industries years ago) when transitioning from track to track.
While some analog DJ’s use a leather slipmat, the weapon of choice is a felt slipmat, as it allows the most freedom of movement, both back and forth on the platter.
Even if you aren’t going to be scratching for a house party, adding a cool felt decorative mat is a great way to personalize your setup.
In the end, adding a mat to your turntable, or changing the one you have will give you a sonic improvement at best, or up the cool factor at worst. Nothing wrong with that, and it’s an inexpensive tweak. Give it a go and see what you think!
