The AT-SMC1 cork mat enhances the sound quality of your records by reducing vibrations and unwanted resonance, ensuring clearer audio playback. At 1.6 mm, the mat offers a good balance between flexibility and support, providing a stable platform for records that minimizes slippage during playback. This 295 mm (11.6") diameter mat fits most standard turntables and won’t attract dust or shed particles like some other cork or felt mats.
