Product Information
Full details
The Magma Technics Slipmat Bandana is designed for professional DJs and vinyl enthusiasts who demand precision control and surface protection for their records. These slipmats provide a smooth, low-friction interface that enables seamless cueing, scratching, and back-spinning while protecting your vinyl collection from scuffs and dust; however, they require a clean turntable platter surface to ensure optimal performance and prevent shifting during playback.

FAQs
Does this come as a single mat or a pair?
The Magma Technics Slipmat Bandana is sold as a pair (set of 2).
Are these compatible with Technics SL-1200 turntables?
Yes, these are designed to work perfectly with standard DJ turntables, including the Technics 1200 series.
How do I clean my slipmats?
Use a soft, dry brush to gently remove surface dust. Avoid liquid cleaning agents.
Will these protect my vinyl from scratches?
Yes, the smooth surface acts as a buffer between the record and the hard turntable platter.
Can I use these for home listening?
While they can be used for listening, they are specifically engineered for the low-friction requirements of DJing.
Troubleshooting
Record feels too slippery
Ensure no dust or debris has accumulated between the slipmat and the platter; a clean surface usually increases stability.
Mat slips while cueing
Check if the platter surface is perfectly level and that the slipmat is centered correctly; uneven surfaces can cause inconsistent grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply remove your existing mats and place the Magma slipmats directly onto the bare metal platter of your turntable. They are compatible with most standard 12-inch DJ turntables. To maintain them, keep the mats clean by gently brushing them with a soft, dry lint brush to remove dust. Avoid using liquid cleaners, as the felt material can absorb moisture, potentially affecting the friction coefficient or causing the mat to warp over time.
