Product Details

Description

The Klimax LP12 is the reference-tier Sondek LP12 - the top of Linn's turntable range, complete with every flagship-tier component Linn has ever designed for the LP12 platform. Priced from USD 30,968, it represents the zero-compromise pinnacle of Linn's engineering endeavour in vinyl playback.

The Klimax specification includes the Ekstatik reference MC cartridge, Ekos SE tonearm, Keel arm board and subchassis (machined from a single billet), Radikal II motor control unit with Utopik power supply, and the Urika analog phono preamplifier. The Radikal II is Linn's most advanced motor control, digitally managing speed control and monitoring every platter rotation for near-perfect 33-1/3 and 45 rpm stability. Its bespoke Utopik power supply uses separate self-regulating voltage rails for motor and phono circuitry, enabling both sections to perform without interference.

Built into a precision-machined aluminum chassis weighing nearly 14 kg and mounted on high-mass feet, the Klimax LP12 offers outstanding mechanical and electrical isolation. Same Sondek LP12 platform that has been in continuous production since 1972, in its fullest flagship expression. Fully upgradeable - a Klimax LP12 purchased today can be brought forward as Linn's engineering advances over the coming decades. Available at LMC — walk in during business hours or book ahead.
