New LP12 SE Upgrades deliver vinyl performance that’s simply out of this world

 

“Simply the biggest performance improvement from an LP12 upgrade ever”

 Ivor Tiefenbrun, Linn Founder, CEO and Inventor of Sondek LP12 

·         LP12 SE now represents a new pinnacle in turntable performance

·         Two new upgrades offer a completely new and improved way of powering and amplifying the LP12

·         More music, even less noise – deliver even more value from your cherished vinyl collection

·         A new level of platter accuracy means your records always spin at the perfect speed every time you switch on 

The new Radikal DC motor control and Urika phono stage upgrades elevate the performance of our flagship turntable to such a high level they immediately assume their place within our coveted LP12 SE series, which now represents a new pinnacle in turntable performance. 

The upgrades deliver the biggest performance improvement from an LP12 ever.  The new designs offer a completely new way of powering and amplifying your turntable to retrieve and protect the source signal to a far greater degree than ever before. 

The new Radikal DC motor, control unit and power supply offers a new level of speed accuracy, as well as radically reduced electrical and mechanical noise.   

With an on-board speed management system which auto-calibrates the turntable for accurate motor speed control (using technology from Klimax DS), manual speed adjustment is no longer required.   

The new brushed DC motor has a very low magnetic field as well as very low electrical noise, and is housed in a machined casing designed to reduce vibration and resonance. 

The Radikal motor control unit and power supply is encased in an elegant and timeless Linn chassis, available in black or silver.  The same product can also be ordered in a velvet-touch ‘machined-from-solid’ aluminium chassis to match a Klimax system if required. 

Urika, the new phono stage, is located in the best possible place for no-holds barred performance – inside the deck.  This new internal location is only made possible by the introduction of the DC motor.  This prime position greatly reduces the signal path, minimising loss of information from the cartridge and maximising performance. 

Other major design enhancements to the phono stage include a new screened and balanced T-Kable and a dual mono phono design.  The new T-Kable is directly soldered to the phono stage and delivers an improved signal-to-noise ratio, whilst increased flexibility enables the suspension to work more effectively without interference.  The dual mono phono design provides dedicated circuitry for each channel to minimise cross-talk. 

The new LP12 SE upgrades can now be auditioned at Linn Turntable Specialists worldwide, many of whom are also hosting an ‘Out of this World – LP12 SE’ Event.  Find out more and book a place on www.linn.co.uk
