FAQs
Are these mats suitable for DJing?
Yes, they are designed with high-quality felt that is suitable for both professional scratch DJs and home listening.
Can I use these with any turntable?
These are 12-inch mats, so they are compatible with virtually any turntable that uses a standard 12-inch platter.
Do I need to secure the mat to the platter?
No, these are standard slipmats and are intended to sit loosely on the platter to allow for easy manipulation of the record.
How do I clean the felt material?
The best method is using a lint roller to pick up surface dust and particles. Avoid using liquids or washing machines.
Will these help with record pops and clicks?
By reducing static, these mats prevent dust from sticking to your records, which in turn reduces the pops and clicks associated with dirty vinyl.
How many mats are included in the package?
Each purchase includes a pair (2) of 12-inch slipmats.
Troubleshooting
Slipmat slips too much during playback
This is often caused by debris between the mat and the platter. Clean the underside of the mat and the platter surface.
Mat attracts too much dust
Use a lint roller regularly. Ensure your listening environment is kept clean and use a dust cover on your turntable when not in use.
Record sounds slightly off-speed or wobbly
Ensure the slipmat is laid completely flat and centered on the platter. Check that the turntable spindle is not obstructed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces record wear and surface scratches
- Effective at dissipating static electricity
- Suitable for both professional DJing and casual listening
- Unique artistic design adds visual personality to your gear
Cons
- Felt material can collect dust and lint over time
- Not moisture-resistant compared to rubber or silicone mats
- May require more frequent cleaning if stored in dusty environments
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply remove any existing rubber or felt mat from your turntable platter and place the Technics slipmats directly onto the bare platter. Ensure the platter is clean and free of debris before installation for the best results.
Compatibility: These mats are 12 inches in diameter, making them perfectly compatible with all standard Technics turntables and most other major brands of DJ and hi-fi turntables that use a 12-inch platter.
Care: To maintain your slipmats, gently shake them out periodically to remove loose dust. If they collect stubborn particles, use a soft lint roller. Avoid washing them in water, as felt can lose its shape or density when saturated and dried incorrectly.
