Keel SE
Top-performing machined sub-chassis and armboard
Keel SE is the highest-performance LP12 sub-chassis available, with superior stiffness, optimised resonant behaviour and ideal distribution of mass.
The intricate bracing structure machined into the underside of Keel SE – designed using a mixture of manual and computer-aided optimisations – has helped us to achieve our number one goal of increasing sub-chassis stiffness as much as possible. This significant 300% increase versus our previous designs means that any vibrations travelling through Keel SE have their frequencies forced higher, and their energy substantially lowered.
Optimised resonant behaviour allows Keel SE to better break-up and dissipate problematic acoustic energy, reducing its potential impact on the delicate music signal.
By machining aluminium from calculated areas beneath the armboard, Keel SE has its centre of mass balanced more evenly on its suspension compared to other sub-chassis models. This improves weight distribution between the springs, and reduces inertia, improving the critical acoustic isolation properties of any LP12.
