Know before you buy
No, you do not need a mat. The acrylic surface is designed to be used as a direct contact point for your records, which helps reduce resonance and provides a more stable connection.
The Acryl it is designed specifically for the Pro-Ject Debut, Debut Carbon, and Xpression series. It is also compatible with certain Music Hall models, but you should verify your specific model's platter compatibility before purchasing.
Acrylic is an inert material that effectively dampens vibrations and platter resonances that can color the sound. By replacing a metal platter, you typically achieve a cleaner, more fluid audio signal with improved clarity.
Installation is very straightforward. You simply lift off your existing metal platter and place the Acryl it platter onto the spindle in its place. No tools or technical adjustments are required.
The Acryl it is engineered to be a direct replacement for the stock platter, so its weight is well within the operating tolerances of the motors found in compatible Pro-Ject and Music Hall turntables.
