Hudson Hi-Fi Acrylic Turntable Mat – 11.75” Anti-Static Slipmat with Label Recess, 1/8” Thick, Black

Elevate your vinyl listening with Hudson Hi-Fi

The Hudson Hi-Fi Acrylic Turntable Mat is a purpose-built slipmat crafted from solid acrylic. Its 11.75 inch diameter and 1/8 inch thickness sit directly on the platter to promote close contact between record and surface. The result is a potentially cleaner, more focused sound with clearer detail and a tighter bottom end, especially on dynamic or well-loved records. While every setup is unique, many listeners notice a more defined high end and an improved sense of space in the mix when paired with compatible turntables.

What makes it different

• Acrylic construction with resonance properties that can help records seat more solidly on the platter, enhancing perceived clarity.
• Reduces static and micro-vibrations to support stable tracking and quieter playback between tracks.
• Precision CNC-machined surface delivers a flat, uniform playing field for consistent contact with every groove.
• Label recess keeps records seated evenly, minimizing tilt or edge lift during playback.
• Easy installation with no stacking needed — simply place the smooth side down on the platter and the textured side up.
• Universal fit for most 12-inch turntables, ensuring broad compatibility and a clean, minimal look on most setups.

Real-world use and advantages

• Potentially clearer sound with a more stable bottom end, particularly on richer vinyl pressings.
• Cleaner playback thanks to reduced static and fewer micro-vibrations that can interfere with groove tracking.
• A tactile, premium feel underfoot that complements modern hi-fi gear with a black, minimalist aesthetic.
• A practical upgrade that integrates smoothly into existing setups without adding layers or complexity.

Design details and compatibility

With a 298.5 mm diameter and a 3 mm thickness, this mat is sized for most standard 12-inch platters and is finished in a sleek black to suit contemporary turntable interiors. The combination of an even surface and the label recess helps ensure records sit flat for consistent playback, reducing the chance of edge wobble during playback. For best results, remove any existing rubber or felt mats before installing the acrylic mat.
