What's a vinyl slipmat used for ?

Did you think vinyls were dead and buried since the 80s and the arrival of the CD (compact disc) ? Well no, the vinyl record is back ! We are currently seeing a real enthusiasm for vinyl, mainly among electronic music DJs, who increasingly enjoy mixing on vinyl turntables. And who says turntable says slipmat, this essential accessory that must accompany your turntable or vinyl record player.

Vinyl slipmat is a circular object in the shape of vinyl and most often made of synthetic material such as felt or polyester. It can also be cork because cork is a material that has real shock absorption properties. A slipmat can be of different sizes, depending on the size of your record player : 7 inches, 10 inches or 12 inches, the latter being the size used most of the time. Vinyl slipmat is used by DJs who mix on vinyl turntables but also for record player enthusiasts who enjoy listening to their music on vinyl. The slipmat is inserted between the record player and the vinyl record and is mainly used to protect your vinyl and reduce vibrations when playing the record.

The platter mat, an essential role in musical reproduction

In addition to the aesthetic aspect, vinyl slipmat plays an essential role for vinyl lovers. First, the slipmat helps protect your record from dust, but also from rubbing against the platter. Indeed, your disc may be damaged if you place it directly on the platter of your turntable. And the dust is to be kept away from your disc as much as possible, even if there are brushes for turntables which allow you to brush your discs before playing them. Then, be aware that the slipmat is an essential accessory to reduce the vibrations of your turntable when playing the disc. It will prevent the record from skipping and will undoubtedly improve the playing comfort of your vinyl.

Slipmat, an aesthetic product and an ideal communication tool for DJs

Slipmat for turntables has an undeniable technical utility. But it is also an aesthetic accessory that will allow you to customize your turntables according to your tastes. Take advantage of a covered vinyl turntable when it isn't rotating thanks to slipmats with a design that you appreciate.

How to choose a slipmat for your turntable ?

Let's talk a little more technical. It's often complicated to choose the right model of slipmat adapted to your needs. Several types of uses are to be taken into account at first. Are you an audiophile or a DJ ?

If you are an audiophile and you use your slipmat to listen to music on your record player, we will tend to advise you to opt for a thick felt slipmat, or cork slipmat. The restitution of sound and the absorption of vibrations will be ideal on this type of slipmat.

You are a DJ and mix in the evening without scratching, we advise you to opt for a versatile slipmat like our classic 16 oz slipmat or our thick slipmat.
Do you scratch and want a slipmat with incredible glide ? Then two models are available to you : the classic glazed slipmat or the fine 9 oz slipmat. The glossy slipmat will be ideal for scratching thanks to its glossy lower side which will offer you a very good glide while absorbing vibrations in a completely correct way. The fine slipmat, meanwhile, will offer you unparalleled speed and precision.
