Description

There are few players in vinyl that can rival the iconic Linn Sondek LP12 Turntable. This is the one that is capable of extracting the deepest emotions alongside the smallest shades of detail from your vinyl records. When it comes to delivering purely natural sound, nothing else is quite like this meticulously handcrafted piece.

Linn Sondek LP12 Turntable

In​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ fact, the Linn Sondek LP12 was Linn’s very first product and it continues to be one of the world’s bestselling turntable decks. Delivering incredibly musical sound. It was Linn’s transcription deck of choice and is regarded as the reference device.

Legendary Vinyl Turntable

The Sondek LP12 became an iconic product for Linn when it was released in 1972. Coupled with the idea that the elemental factor in a fine music system is the very source of the music itself. It was both Linn’s nature and convincing that music quality is the most major determinant of a system.

Also, at a time when a situation was that of amplifiers and loudspeakers being the most crucial parts of a system, Sondek LP12 argued that the most critical challenge was to get more information out of the record itself. In other words, if you miss the source, you lose the whole thing forever.

Sound Quality That Knows No Equal

For over three decades, the Sondek LP12 has been a benchmark against which other turntables are measured and new elements have been added over all that time so that even further information can be obtained from the record.

High Mass Perfectly Balanced Platter

Linn’s single-point bearing is one of their patented designs and the one incorporated in Sondek LP12 at least at their core. The bearing, although complex, was designed to be simple and it is capable of guiding the turntable to the smoothest of motions and at the same time. Blocking the noise so what comes out of your speakers is only music.

What helps the high mass, perfectly balanced, belt-driven platter to maintain the speed stability is the addition of the solid wood plinth. Suspended sub-chassis and stable arm platform which is meant to yield freedom from vibration and acoustic feedback together.

These elements which have a precision-engineering pedigree have resulted in a turntable that can deliver a pitch perfect. Faithful reproduction of your vinyl collection very accurately. ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌

Outstanding Sound Reproduction

Over​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ 30 years since their launch, the Linn Sondek LP12 Turntables have been the standard against which all other turntables are measured. Every single part has been regularly updated to bring out even more details from vinyl records. Linn’s patented, low-noise, single-point bearing lies in the core of the Linn Sondek LP12.

This sophisticated, yet straightforward, bearing design guarantees the uninterrupted movement of the turntable and the elimination of noise. So that the music is all you hear. The heavy mass, very well balanced, belt-driven platter keeps the speed stable.

Wooden plinth made from solid wood, suspension of the sub-chassis and stable arm platform give complete liberation from vibration and acoustic feedback. The mixture of these precision-engineered parts results in a turntable that is an incomparable pitch accurate and faithful reproducing machine of your vinyl collection that you treasure the most.

Linn’s tonearms and cartridges that match your Sondek LP12 for maximum performance come as a complete set.
