Pro-Ject Audio Cork-It Cork Mat for Pro-Ject Turntable

Overview

The Pro-Ject Cork-It Mat replaces your turntable's stock felt mat with natural cork, a material that damps resonance more effectively while avoiding the static buildup and dust attraction that felt mats are known for.

Its low 1.5mm profile is a near drop-in replacement on most turntables, so swapping mats won't meaningfully change your tonearm's height alignment.

Beyond the sound benefits, cork's natural grip helps keep records seated securely on the platter during play.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

Cork-It is one of the easiest upgrades we recommend for turntables with metal platters, where felt's limited damping is most noticeable. It also pairs well with Pro-Ject's Clamp-It record clamp for listeners looking to tighten record-to-platter contact at the same time.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

  • Owners of Turntables with Metal Platters: felt's limited damping is most noticeable here, where cork offers a clear upgrade.
  • Listeners Bothered by Static and Dust: cork's natural properties reduce both compared to felt.
  • Anyone Building a Vinyl-Care Routine: pairs naturally with accessories like Clamp-It for a more complete setup.

How It Compares

Pro-Ject's own Felt Mat Standard is the traditional option many turntables ship with, offering smooth contact with the record but limited damping and a tendency to attract static and dust. The Cork-It swaps in natural cork for more effective resonance damping and less static buildup, making it the better choice for listeners who want a cleaner-sounding, lower-maintenance mat.
