Hudson Hi-Fi Corkery Recessed Turntable Mat – 1/8 Inch Cork Slipmat

Corkery Recessed Turntable Mat: refined cork slipmat for cleaner, warmer playback

Hudson Hi-Fi introduces the Corkery Recessed Turntable Mat, a purpose-built cork-based mat and slipmat designed to live under your records. By reducing static buildup and promoting smoother contact between the stylus and grooves, this mat aims to let your listening experience feel closer to the artist’s original intent. The cork composition also contributes to a warmer tonal character without altering the fundamental mix you love.

The mat is a practical 1/8 inch thick and 11-3/8 inches in diameter, crafted to fit a broad range of turntables. It uses a non-conductive cork composite and is designed to be compliant with standard RIAA specifications, delivering less noise and more precise tracking in many setups. Secure packaging protects the mat during shipping and storage, helping maintain its surface integrity.

In everyday use, Corkery offers a set of meaningful, observable characteristics. Expect a more intimate midrange, smoother contact with the record surface, and a damped resonance that can help preserve dynamics and bass articulation. While results can vary by system and record, many listeners notice a reduced sense of surface noise and a cleaner overall output when paired with this mat.
