Carbon Fiber Turntable Mat with A.R.C. Resonance Control Pads – Limited Edition

Analog Restorations Limited Edition Carbon Fiber Turntable Mat

This carbon fiber turntable mat is the result of years of development at Analog Restorations, engineered from the ground up for vibration control and sound quality. It pairs a hand-formed carbon fiber platter mat with eight of our A.R.C. Resonance Control pads, a support system designed to manage how vibration moves between your turntable's platter and your record.

Engineered for listening

The silica-based A.R.C. Resonance Control pads support the mat at eight points, reducing the contact area between platter and mat and limiting the paths that unwanted vibration can travel. They're designed to work together with the carbon fiber rather than against it, controlling resonance without over-damping. The goal is a mat that lets your records keep their energy, detail, and character instead of sounding deadened. A recessed center accommodates the record label, so your record sits flat and fully supported across the mat.

Handmade to order

Each mat is hand-formed in our shop from 2 × 2 twill carbon fiber and finished in a clean matte surface that looks as good on your turntable as it performs. Because every mat is made to order, please allow 1 to 2 weeks for your mat to be made and shipped.
