Linn LP12-50 Anniversary Turntable

9 July 2023

So the secret is out. The second landmark product this year to celebrate Linn’s 50th year has arrived – Sondek LP12-50.

The most iconic of hi-fi products, re-designed and re-imagined in collaboration with former chief design officer at Apple, Sir Jony Ive, and his LoveFrom team. Only 250 limited edition LP12-50 will be manufactured. Ever.

Linn states that Sondek LP12-50 produces the best vinyl playback performance LP12 has ever achieved, a result of Linn’s all-new Bedrok™ plinth technology; formed of orthogonal layers of beech placed under extreme pressure to create an entirely new, solid and massive material. The consequent ultra-dense wood has negligible resonance and offers a superior isolating housing for the turntable’s mechanism.

LoveFrom has applied it’s design expertise to the new, precision-machined power/speed control button and hinges – providing delightful and precise interaction with the turntable. Each LP12-50 bears an embossed aluminium plaque celebrating this landmark collaboration with individual numbering.

“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? “
Gilad Tiefenbrun, Linn CEO

“This project has been so life-affirming and so joyful to work on… LoveFrom has worked together with brilliant, kind people at Linn who share our obsessiveness to make something wonderful and without compromise. And at the same time, we have been able to play a small part in celebrating fifty years of an icon.”
