Product Information
Full details
The Pro-Ject Acryl-IT Turntable Platter is designed for audiophiles using Pro-Ject Debut or Xpression turntables who want to elevate their vinyl playback experience by minimizing resonance. Its primary benefit is the significant reduction in unwanted vibrations, leading to a clearer, more fluid soundstage compared to standard metal platters; however, users should note it is specifically engineered for certain Pro-Ject models and may not be compatible with non-supported turntable brands.

FAQs
Do I need to use a record mat with the Acryl-IT?
No, one of the primary benefits of the Acryl-IT is that it is designed to be used as a direct surface for your records, eliminating the need for a felt mat.
Will this fit my Pro-Ject Primary turntable?
The Acryl-IT is specifically designed for Pro-Ject Debut and Xpression series models. Please consult your turntable manual or Pro-Ject support to verify compatibility with specific Primary series iterations.
Does the Acryl-IT change the playback speed?
The platter is weighted to match the specifications of the compatible Pro-Ject models, so it will not affect your playback speed.
How do I clean the acrylic surface?
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. If a deeper clean is required, a very slightly dampened cloth with water is safe, but avoid solvents.
Does it improve tracking?
While the platter itself does not change the tracking force, the reduction in resonance allows the stylus to trace the grooves more accurately, which can lead to improved overall tracking performance.
Troubleshooting
Platter does not spin freely
Check that the platter is seated correctly on the center bearing and ensure no debris is stuck between the platter and the sub-platter.
Visible wobble during rotation
Lift the platter and reseat it carefully on the spindle to ensure it is perfectly level and square with the sub-platter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: remove the belt from the motor pulley, lift the existing metal platter off the bearing, and carefully place the Acryl-IT platter onto the spindle. Ensure the platter is seated flush with the bearing. This product is strictly compatible with Pro-Ject Debut and Xpression series turntables. To maintain the platter, use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as the matte surface can be prone to showing scuffs if mistreated. Ensure your record surface is clean before placing it directly on the acrylic to prevent any transfer of debris or dust.
