FAQs

Will this mat fit my turntable?

The Fluance Acrylic Platter Mat is 3mm thick and designed for all standard 12-inch turntable platters. It should fit most turntables.

How does this mat improve sound quality?

It improves sound by damping vibrations and resonances from the turntable, reducing static buildup, and providing a perfectly flat surface for your records, leading to clearer, more detailed audio.

Is it difficult to clean?

No, cleaning is simple. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth for light dust. For tougher marks, a slightly damp microfiber cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can I use this with my existing turntable cover?

Yes, the mat's height (3mm) is standard and should not interfere with most turntable dust covers when closed.

What is the difference between this and a felt mat?

Acrylic offers superior vibration damping and static reduction compared to felt. It also provides a more rigid and flat surface for the record.

Does the white color show dirt easily?

The white color can show dust more readily than darker mats. However, it is easy to wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.

Troubleshooting

Record is not sitting perfectly flat

Ensure the acrylic mat is seated correctly on the turntable platter and that there are no debris underneath it. Check if the record itself is warped.

Increased surface noise or pops

Clean the mat with a microfiber cloth. Ensure the stylus is clean and properly seated. Check for excessive static in the environment, which the mat should help reduce but not eliminate entirely.

Mat seems to be slipping

Ensure the turntable platter is clean and dry before placing the mat. The acrylic surface should provide sufficient grip for records.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Noticeably improves audio fidelity by reducing record-player noise.
  • Helps mitigate static electricity, leading to cleaner playback.
  • Provides a stable, flat surface for records.
  • Enhances the visual appeal of the turntable.
  • Durable construction with a premium feel.

Cons

  • More expensive than standard felt or rubber mats.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid scratches on the acrylic surface.
  • May alter the weight distribution on very lightweight or sensitive tonearms (rare).
  • White color may show dust more readily than darker mats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply place the Fluance Acrylic Platter Mat directly onto your turntable's existing platter. Ensure it sits evenly. If your turntable has a removable platter mat, remove the old one first. No adhesive or permanent modification is required.

Compatibility: This 3mm thick mat is designed to fit all standard 12-inch turntable platters. It is generally compatible with most turntables that use a 12-inch platter, including many models from Fluance and other manufacturers.

Care: To maintain the pristine look of your acrylic mat:

  1. Gently dust the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove any fingerprints or light dust.
  2. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the acrylic.
  3. When handling records, try to avoid sliding them directly across the mat; lift them on and off the platter to minimize the risk of scratches.
