Custom Turntable Cover

Real audio lovers don’t use just any old record player to play there favourite records. They are only satisfied with models that provide for the highest acoustic pleasure. Unfortunately many high quality turntables don’t come with an apropriate dust cover. Or maybe your old record player’s dust cover just broke and you can’t find a replacement. Now it’s easy to get exactly the turntable cover you need for your player.

Many customer send us pictures of how they use their custom turntable covers. Looking for inspirations? Then you might like to visit our Customer Gallery.

With this configuration tool you can create your own custom dust cover. Just enter width, depth and height click the „calculate“-button and you like and you will immediately see the price. But there are even more options to choose from.

You can decide to order your turntable cover with a matching base – a useful option if you wish to cover your entire record player. Maybe you want a cover with a mirrored or black back-panel instead of the default transparent one. Just select your favourite kind of back-panel in the respective check-box.

CUT-OUTS

But what to do if you need cut-outs in the back of your dust cover? You might need at least one cut-out for your record player’s power cord. We have provided for that. If you check the option „Cut-out for cables ?“ you can later tell us how many cut-outs you need and where exactly they need to be. Please tell us about your requirements for the cut-outs in a comment to your order (When you place your order you have the option to leave a comment).

TECHNICAL DETAILS

The custom turntable covers are based on a connector system. They are delivered as an easy to assemble kit and come with a fully illustrated construction manual. You can get an idea of how it looks when you browse the Construction Manual.

The acrylic parts of the construction kit are joined with small countersunk screws (M2.5) and nuts, both with a white zinc surface. The case itself is made from crystal clear 4mm thick acrylic sheets. You can choose between a transparent, a black or a reflective back panel for your individual case. Black or reflective back panels are 3mm thick.

ACRYLIC BASE

The base consists of two 4mm thick, transparent acrylic panels, which are bolted together. The upper panel’s width and depth match the inside dimension of the cover, so it fits in precisely. The lower panel measures 1.5 cm bigger on each side and has rounded edges.

„Flush base“ means that the outside of the lower acrylic base is just rectangular and flush aligned with the outside oft he cover.

INSIDE AND OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS

The online configuration tool uses the inside dimensions of the cover among other inputs to calculate the price of your custom cover. The outside measurements of the cover differ from the inside dimensions in the following ways:

Outside width = inside width + 14 mm
Outside depth = inside depth + 8 mm
Outside height = inside height + 7mm

The outside dimensions of the regular acrylic base (if ordered) are:

Outside width = inside width of case + 30 mm
Outside depth = inside depth of case + 20 mm

The outside dimensions of the flush acrylic base (if ordered) are:

Outside width = inside width of case + 14 mm
Outside depth = inside depth of case + 8 mm

Thank you for posting your question. We will try to answer it as soon as possible!

Question:

Can I use this custom cover for something else than turntables?

Answer:

Yes, definitely! Custom Turntable Cover just describes the purpose that most of our customers order this customized case for.

Of course it's suitable for many other objects aswell. We have heard from our customers who used this configuration tool to design cases for amplifiers, clocks, electronics controllers and many more.

Likewise the optional cut-out in the back-panel can be used for small cable cut-outs but you can also choose a cut-out

that is almost as large as the entire back-panel.

Question:

What material are the custom turntable covers made of?

Answer:

Our custom turntable covers are made from acrylic glass. It's scientific name is PMMA, but you might also know it under one of it's many brand names: Plexiglas, Lucite, Acrylite or Perspex. The transparent panels of the turntable cover are made from 4mm strong acrylic glass. If you order your cover with a reflective or black back-panel (and/or base), then these parts are made from 3mm thick acrylic.

Question:

I know some plastics deteriorate under sunlight. Is this a problem with acrylic glass?

Answer:

No, in contrast to most other plastics, acrylic glass has the advantage that it neither gets brittle nor yellow from the exposure to UV rays. You can keep your turntable cover under direct sunlight for many years without having to expect any change in the material quality.

Question:

Can I buy an LED lighting system for my turntable cover directly from you?

Answer:

Unfortunately we cannot offer any LED lighting systems. We are personally very enthusiastic about this subject and you will find many pictures in our customer gallery where customers installed LED stripes inside their turntable covers.

It's an interesting subject but it goes too far beyond our area of expertise.

Question:

I need custom changes to my custom turntable cover (for example additional cut-outs for handles). Can you do that?

Answer:

Yes! If you need something more complicated than a rectangular cut-out in the back-panel, please just send us an e-mail and we will have a look at it.

Question:

Can I order my turntable cover based on dimensions in inches?

Answer:

Our configuration tool uses centimetres as input variables but you can easily translate the inch dimensions you require into centimetres. Just remember 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

You can actually write your dimensions with up to one decimal, so if you would like an inside width of 10 inches, you could write 25.4 cm instead.

We can only produce with 1/10 of a centimetre precision, so if your "translated" centimetre value has two decimals, please round the result to one decimal.

Question:

What is the difference between a "flush base" and a "regular base"?

Answer:

The regular base and flush base are identical in function but different in design. In both cases, the turntable cover sits

on the lower panel of the base.

With the "regular base", the lower base panel protrudes beyond the width and depth of the cover and has radiused corners.

To be precise, the regular base protrudes beyond the outside width of the cover by 1.6cm and protrudes beyond the outside depth by 1.2cm.

With the flush base, the lower base panel is just rectangular and completely flush with the outside width and depth of the turntable cover.

Question:

What if any part of my turntable cover breaks - can I get replacements from you?

Answer:

One big advantage of our construction principle is that you don't need to buy a whole new turntable cover if there is a little accident.

Most of the time it's only one or two parts that need to be replaced. If that happens, please get in touch with us.We can provide any replacement part for any product that you ordered from us in the past. This is also true for customized products.

You can be certain that we do not take advantage of any misfortunes. Replacement parts for customized products are therefore priced very moderately.

Question:

Help, my turntable cover parts look blue/green/scratched!

Answer:

Don't worry! What you are seeing is just a protective foil. All acrylic parts are coated with a protective foil on both side (except for acrylic mirrors, which are only coated on the front). This protective foil is very important to make sure that the acrylic parts don't get scratched or messy during manufacturing and shipping. This foil can be blue, green, white or simply translucent and you will often find scratches on it.

Since it is very tight on the acrylic, it is easy to miss at first glance and you might assume that the parts of your case are scratched or of a totaly different colour.

However, once you remove the foil, you should find the acrylic underneath to be crystal clear and flawless.
