Pro-Ject Cork and Rubber It

High quality turntable pad made from a mixture of cork and rubber

The effect of phono pads on the sound of the platter has long been widely debated. The interaction between the phono record and the surface can be detected very easily with a high quality and more sensitive transmission.Although conventional felt pads guarantee smooth contact between the record and the platter, they have the disadvantage of being static.This means that they often bind dust particles, which then get into the grooves of the record.Also, the damping capability is very limited, which can be a problem with metal platters.

Pro-Ject offers a very interesting way to improve the resulting sound quality. The Cork and Rubber pad dampens resonances very effectively, traps dust, is not static and maintains perfect contact between the turntable and the surface.It is thus a very effective way to improve sound, reduce noise, reduce dust clogging of the grooves, and eliminate static electricity problems at the same time.

As the name suggests, Cork & Rubber - uses a carefully blended mixture of cork and rubber, combining the superior acoustic capabilities of rubber along with the anti-static properties of cork. The Cork & Rubber pad is available in 1mm or 3mm thicknesses to suit all turntables. The two thicknesses allow you to choose the one that is best for your turntable, while still accommodating your personal taste.

The 1mm thickness is recommended for thick and heavy platters, while the 3mm suits more lightweight low metal platters.

Benefit: Reduced noise, less crackling and more detailed presentation.
