Hudson Hi-Fi Acrylic Turntable Mat – 11.75 inch Anti-Static Slipmat (1/8 inch)

Upgrade your vinyl experience with Hudson Hi-Fi

Meet the Hudson Hi-Fi Acrylic Turntable Mat, a premium 11.75 inch slipmat designed to sit directly on your platter. Crafted from solid acrylic, it measures 3 mm thick and 298.5 mm in diameter to fit most standard 12 inch turntables. The clear acrylic adds a refined tactility to the playing surface while preserving the rhythm and energy of your records.

In practice, the mat offers a balance of resonance with vinyl that can help the record couple more effectively with the platter. Listeners often notice more cohesive playback, with a sense of clarity across the spectrum and tighter bass that supports the groove without overpowering it.

What you may notice in real use

Fans of analog playback may experience a more defined overall sound, with subtle improvements in detail. The material’s surface characteristics work with the groove to enhance tracking consistency on a wide range of records, from delicate jazz passages to dynamic rock cuts.

• Potentially clearer highs and more pronounced bass texture
• Improved overall detail with reduced surface noise on many records

Static control, micro-vibration damping, and alignment

The mat is designed to dissipate static buildup and minimize micro-vibrations, contributing to cleaner playback and steadier cueing. A quieter listening session can feel more engaging, especially in rooms with ambient noise or during long listening blocks.

• Lower chance of static pops during quiet passages
• Quieter operation that supports focused listening sessions

Precision, flat surface, and label recess

Manufactured with a CNC machined acrylic surface, this mat delivers a flat playing field that stays true across spins. A dedicated label recess helps records sit evenly, supporting reliable alignment for every side.

• Consistent contact with a precisely flat surface
• Label recess aids alignment for standard LPs

Simple installation and broad compatibility

Installation is straightforward: remove any existing rubber or felt mat, place the smooth side down on the platter, and position the textured side up. This mat sits directly on the platter, without stacking.

With a diameter of 298.5 mm (11 3/4 inches) and a thickness of 3 mm (1/8 inch), it works with most standard 12 inch platters, making it a versatile upgrade for a wide range of setups.
