BRAND NEW IN PACKAGE CARBON FIBER FELT ANTI-STATIC TURNTABLE PLATTER MAT. MADE IN THE USA Static electricity is created when a record is played on a turntable. The static electricity that’s created during record play causes the crackling and scratchy noises and also is a dust magnet that ruins record playback. This mat is designed to discharge the record during play. After the record is finished playing the dust simply brushes off. I use this mat and recommend it. Turntable mat Measures: 11 3/4″ Dia. x 1/32″ Thick Search my store for your needle, cartridge or other turntable accessories. Email me for help.
