The Pro-Ject Leather it is a premium leather platter mat designed to replace the standard felt mat supplied with most turntables. Leather and cork are widely regarded as two of the most effective materials for turntable mats, offering better resonance damping than felt while also maintaining enough electrical conductivity to prevent static build-up on the record surface.
Standard felt mats are prone to collecting dust, which is then transferred to the record during playback. Thick rubber mats, by contrast, tend to over-damp the record and can trap static charge, leading to audible clicks and noise. The Leather it addresses both problems: it damps resonances effectively from metal platters, keeps dust at bay, and dissipates static so that records stay cleaner between plays.
At just 2 mm thick, the mat slots neatly onto any 300 mm platter without significantly altering tonearm geometry, and it pairs particularly well with Pro-Ject’s own Clamp it record clamp for a secure, resonance-free interface between record and platter. Compatible with all turntable brands.
