Linn Standard Radikal LP12 Power Supply

Linn Klimax Radikal

Ultimate Speed Accuracy for the Sondek LP12

The Linn Klimax Radikal is the pinnacle of LP12 motor control technology, delivering extraordinary speed accuracy, pitch stability and power management for the Sondek LP12 turntable. Engineered to extract the maximum performance from Linn's iconic deck, Klimax Radikal combines digitally managed motor control, the latest bespoke Utopik power supply and an exceptionally engineered aluminium chassis to create the most advanced LP12 power supply and motor control system available.

Designed to maintain sustained, uniform platter rotation with remarkable precision, Klimax Radikal delivers speed accuracy closer to the ideal 33⅓rpm than any previous Linn turntable power supply. The result is an even more natural, detailed and emotionally engaging musical performance, with exceptional pitch stability and timing.

Hyper-Accurate Speed Management

At the heart of Klimax Radikal is Linn's advanced digitally managed motor control system. Every aspect of the motor's operation is continuously monitored and controlled to maintain exceptionally consistent platter speed, reducing speed variation to an absolute minimum.

This extraordinary level of precision allows recordings to be reproduced with remarkable tonal accuracy, stable imaging and impeccable musical timing. Instruments retain their natural pitch, vocals sound more lifelike and complex musical passages remain effortlessly coherent.

Bespoke Utopik Power Supply

A key contributor to Klimax Radikal's performance is Linn's latest Utopik power supply technology.

Unlike conventional designs, Utopik incorporates dedicated output voltage rails for its two specialised functions:

• Precision motor control
• Powering Linn Urika internal phono stages

Each output rail is independently regulated, ensuring that changes in current demand from the motor cannot influence the power supplied to the phono stage, and vice versa.

This complete electrical separation delivers cleaner, more stable power throughout the system, improving both motor performance and analogue signal integrity while reducing unwanted electrical interference.

Exceptional Mechanical Isolation

The Klimax Radikal has been engineered to minimise the effects of vibration and external interference.

Its substantial enclosure weighs nearly 14 kg and is precision machined from three solid pieces of aluminium, creating an exceptionally rigid housing for the sophisticated electronics inside.

The chassis is supported by high-mass stainless steel feet incorporating precision rubber isolation inserts, providing excellent mechanical damping while further protecting the sensitive electronics from external vibration.

Together, these engineering refinements allow Klimax Radikal to operate with extraordinary consistency and stability, helping every component within the LP12 perform at its highest level.

Precision Engineering Without Compromise

Every aspect of the Klimax Radikal has been designed with a singular goal: delivering the most accurate and consistent drive possible for the Sondek LP12.

From its sophisticated digital speed management and independently regulated power supply to its beautifully machined aluminium enclosure, every element contributes towards preserving the timing, rhythm and musical realism for which the LP12 has become legendary.
