Why more and more DJ prefer cork slipmats?

DJ‘s have been using cork turntable slipmats for several decades now, and the appeal continues to grow. Cork slipmats offer DJs a range of advantages that no other slipmat material offers. First and foremost, they offer better grip. When a record is spinning, the cork mat helps keep it in place, allowing DJs to scratch and back–cue with more precision and control. Unlike vinyl mats, cork mats won‘t gradually eat away at the grooves of your records. The result is improved sound quality and less needle skipping.

Cork slipmats also provide excellent isolation from acoustic feedback. The cork material effectively dampens any vibrations coming from the speakers, which helps minimize the amount of acoustic feedback and the potential for damage to your speaker system. This feature alone is enough to make cork a preferred choice for many DJs who want maximum performance from their setup.

Cork slipmats are also known for their durability. As opposed to vinyl mats, which can easily tear and become misshapen, cork slipmats retain their shape and feel much longer, no matter how many times they’re used. This allows them to be easily reused time and time again with no degradation in performance.

Finally, cork slipmats offer a more personal touch. Most cork mats are now stamped with artwork or logos, allowing DJs to customize their setup and add a bit of flair to their turntables. From their comfort and stability to their customization options, cork turntable slipmats have earned their place as an essential tool for DJ’s of all levels.
