For decades, the Linn LP12 has reigned supreme as the benchmark for turntable performance. Now, Linn has unveiled a groundbreaking innovation poised to elevate the LP12 experience to new heights: the Bedrok™ plinth. First seen in the limited-edition Sondek LP12-50, Bedrok™ is now available as a performance upgrade for existing LP12 owners, marking the first time Linn has offered a plinth upgrade of this magnitude.
The Science Behind the Sound:
What makes Bedrok™ so exceptional? It all starts with the material. Orthogonal layers of beech are subjected to extreme heat and pressure, transforming them into an ultra-dense, solid material unlike anything seen before in turntable design. This engineered wood boasts significantly more than double the density of a standard LP12 plinth, resulting in negligible resonance and providing a superior, isolating housing for the turntable's delicate mechanism. The consistency and solidity of Bedrok™ ensure that every component within the plinth performs optimally.
A Holistic Performance Enhancement:
The plinth is the foundation of any turntable. It supports every component and critically influences stability, acoustic isolation, and resonance. Bedrok™'s remarkable density and precision-machined design create the ideal environment for each part of the LP12 to operate at its peak. This holistic approach yields remarkable results:
- Enhanced Pace and Rhythm: Music takes on a new energy, with a more dynamic and engaging presentation.
- Tighter, More Defined Bass: Experience deeper, more controlled bass frequencies, adding weight and impact to your music.
- Greater Musical Insight: Discover previously unheard details and nuances in your recordings, revealing a richer and more textured soundscape.
- An Elevated Listening Experience: The combined effect of these improvements creates a more immersive and enjoyable listening experience, bringing you closer to the heart of the music.
A Klimax-Level Upgrade:
Bedrok™ isn't just an upgrade; it's a transformation. This Klimax-level plinth elevates the LP12 to an even higher plane of performance, making it a true audiophile centerpiece.
Availability and Ordering:
Due to the scarcity of materials and the complex manufacturing process, the Bedrok™ plinth will be available in limited quantities from January 2025 onwards. We anticipate high demand for this highly sought-after upgrade, so we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible to secure your place in the queue. Longer lead times are likely, so don't delay.
