Product Information
Audio Technica's AT-SMCR2 slipmat combines cork and rubber to absorb vibrations across a broader frequency spectrum than standard cork alone, with particular attention to low-frequency resonance that can muddy playback. The hybrid material adds mass to the turntable platter, creating a stable platform that improves stylus tracking and reduces minor skips during playback. This blend also delivers antistatic properties that minimise pops and clicks caused by static discharge on vinyl records.
The cork-rubber construction targets vibration control where single-material mats fall short, addressing resonances that travel through the platter and interfere with the stylus reading the groove. Rubber contributes damping characteristics that complement cork's natural absorption, while the added weight helps maintain consistent platter speed and contact between record and mat. The antistatic behaviour of the material reduces the need for frequent cleaning and helps preserve groove detail over repeated plays.
Features
- Cork and rubber blend absorbs wider range of playback vibrations
- Targets low-frequency resonances that standard cork mats cannot address effectively
- Added mass improves stylus tracking stability and platter speed consistency
- Reduces minor skips and jumps during playback on unstable surfaces
- Antistatic properties minimise pops and clicks from static discharge buildup
- Maintains better record-to-mat contact for improved sound reproduction clarity
- Damping characteristics prevent vibration transfer through turntable platter to stylus
- Designed for turntables requiring improved vibration isolation and tracking performance
