Custom Printed Make Turntable Felt Slipmat

1. Felt Slipmats Print/design

Sure, your first edition Abbey Road album is going to sound just as nice playing on a turntable mat that’s plain and black as it would on an artistically designed, eye-catching mat, but it’s not going to look nearly as fashionable.

When your record player isn’t in use, the mat will be visible.

While the primary purpose of a record player, its parts, and all of its accessories is primarily functional, that doesn’t mean it can’t be artistic or attractive as well.

In fact, as much as your record player and records are is a functional collection for listening and enjoying, it’s also a dynamic contribution to your decor.

It’s no wonder that design and print matters.

Though it may not be the priority, some pick a print that appeals to the eye and fits with the home’s decor.

3. Thickness of Felt Slipmats

After material, perhaps the most important characteristic of a slipmat is the thickness.

Thickness varies. Which mat you select will depend on your record player and how it’s constructed, as well as what kind of sound you prefer.

Some players have adjustable arms, which make the thickness of the slipmat simply a matter of feel and functionality.

However, if the arm of your rig is not adjustable, you may be forced to be a bit pickier about the overall thickness of your mat.

The density of the mat should place the stylus and arm of the record player are hitting the record at the correct angle.

The arm should fall level with the mat. To make this happen, you’ll need to select one of the following thicknesses:

Thin (around 1.5mm)
Medium (1.5-2mm)
Thick (anything over 3 mm to around 4mm)
