Pro-Ject Audio Cork & Rubber IT Mat

Overview

The Pro-Ject Cork & Rubber IT Mat blends two materials to solve a problem neither handles well alone: rubber offers strong acoustic isolation but can trap static, while cork resists static but has weaker damping on its own. Combining them gives you cork's anti-static grip alongside rubber's vibration control.

At 1mm thick, this version is a near drop-in replacement for a stock felt mat, so it won't meaningfully shift your tonearm's height alignment.

It's built to Pro-Ject's standard 300mm platter diameter, so fitment is straightforward on Pro-Ject turntables and most standard decks.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

We recommend this 1mm version for turntables with dense or heavier platters, where thinner isolation is enough. If your deck has a lighter metal platter, Pro-Ject's own 3mm Cork & Rubber IT gives more acoustic control.

Why the Cork & Rubber IT Stands Out

Cork-and-Rubber Blend

Combines cork's anti-static properties with rubber's stronger vibration damping.

Low-Profile 1mm Thickness

A near drop-in fit without shifting tonearm height alignment.

Precise 300mm Diameter

Matches standard turntable platter sizing.

Reduces Static and Noise

Helps keep records cleaner and playback quieter than a standard felt or thick rubber mat.

Also Available in 3mm

Pro-Ject offers a thicker version suited to lighter metal platters.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

  • Owners of Dense or Heavy Platters: the 1mm thickness provides isolation without over-damping.
  • Listeners Bothered by Static or Surface Noise: the cork-rubber blend addresses both.
  • Anyone Upgrading from a Stock Felt Mat: a near drop-in fit with minimal tonearm adjustment.

How It Compares

Pro-Ject's Cork-It mat uses cork alone and favours anti-static performance, while the thicker 3mm Cork & Rubber IT leans further into acoustic isolation for lighter metal platters. This 1mm Cork & Rubber IT sits between the two, blending both materials for balanced damping and static control on dense or heavier platters.

The Pro-Ject Cork & Rubber IT Mat is a turntable accessory designed to replace standard felt or rubber mats. Made from a blend of cork and rubber, it effectively dampens resonances from metal platters, reduces static buildup, and minimizes dust attraction. This results in a cleaner sound with enhanced bass response and reduced surface noise.

Is the Pro-Ject Cork & Rubber IT Mat suitable for all types of turntables?

Yes, the Pro-Ject Cork & Rubber IT Mat is compatible with all turntables, including those with metal and glass platters. Its 11.8-inch diameter and thickness make it a versatile choice for various turntable models.

How do I install the Pro-Ject Cork & Rubber IT Mat on my turntable?

To install the Pro-Ject Cork & Rubber IT Mat, simply remove your existing mat and place the cork-rubber mat onto the turntable platter. Ensure it sits flat and securely. No additional tools or modifications are necessary.

How does the Pro-Ject Cork & Rubber IT Mat compare to other turntable mats?

Compared to standard felt and rubber mats, the Pro-Ject Cork & Rubber IT Mat offers superior damping properties, reducing unwanted resonances and static buildup. Users have reported a noticeable improvement in sound quality, particularly in bass response and overall clarity.
