Ortofon SM-1 Slipmats (Pair)

The first thing you should do when you get your turntables if you are planning on beatmatching or scratching is take off those thick, heavy rubber mats they come with. The next stage is to get yourself some slipmats like the Ortofon SM-1.

Good quality slipmats like these reduce the friction and allow the turntable to revolve at its normal speed even when you hold the vinyl still. When you finally release the vinyl, the slipmat should grip the record and take it to the speed of the turntable almost instantly. Good slipmat like these are an absolute necessity and you'll get used to the way they feel when you mix.

If you're going on the road, why take chances? Buy an extra pack to put in your record bag just in case. Not only will they provide a light extra padding for your records, but they'll also help you out when you find yourself in unfamiliar territory on someone else's system. Make your statement with the signature Ortofon slipmats and people will know that you're serious about your craft.
