“Last year, I was approached by Sir Jony Ive. He shared his own enduring admiration for Linn – our designs, our ethos and our relentless pursuit of musical perfection. I was pleased to be able to reciprocate his admiration, and to discuss our shared values of beauty in design, peerless performance, user experience, and attention to detail. Our upcoming fiftieth anniversary year presented the perfect opportunity to create something extraordinary, together – and where better to start than with the product that started it all, Sondek LP12? “

The Sondek LP12-50 celebrates its 50th anniversary as the most renowned product in the history of high-fidelity. This exclusive edition turntable was created in partnership with the esteemed creative collective LoveFrom, led by Sir Jony Ive, renowned for their iconic design language.
The LP12-50 delivers the most exceptional vinyl playback performance ever achieved by Linn. It features Sir Jony Ive's unmistakable design elements, reflected in both its visual appearance and tactile interfaces.
To enhance the sonic experience, Linn introduces the groundbreaking Bedrok™ plinth technology. This innovative construction comprises layers of beech pressed under extreme pressure, resulting in a solid and substantial material with minimal resonance. The ultra-dense wood provides superior isolation for the turntable's mechanism.
LoveFrom's design expertise is evident in the meticulously crafted power/speed control button and hinges, offering a delightful and precise interaction with the turntable. Respectful aesthetic enhancements have been made to the classic Sondek LP12 form, preserving its quality and integrity.
The combination of improved performance, usability, and aesthetic refinement establishes the LP12-50 as a historic masterpiece, offering unparalleled sonic quality and breathtaking beauty.
