Piano Black
Our flagship Klimax LP12 turntable offers the pinnacle of vinyl reproduction today.
Over 45 years' worth of research and development has gone into this latest evolution of the turntable that turned the hi-fi industry on its head in our quest to make better sound. Each precision-engineered upgrade has uncovered more music from the depths of the record groove, ensuring that this highest performance model remains unsurpassed.
A true classic, the LP12 turntable will never become obsolete. Because it's modular, you can update it whenever we release a new upgrade.
The original turntable revolution
Sondek LP12 is where the Linn sound began. Klimax represents the pinnacle. And the beat goes on.
Available with the Klimax LP12
The greatest orchestras rely on the power of the collective. The Klimax LP12 features a carefully curated collection of the highest performance components from across the Linn range, and because it's modular, you can update it with every new upgrade we release.
Life lived to a crescendo
The Klimax LP12 is the peak of musical experience.
