Linn · LP12 upgrades

The internal power supply of the Majik LP12: a compact, low-noise supply that filters the mains and runs the AC motor at a steady 33⅓ rpm, and a sound first step for any older Sondek.

Internal supply; motor not included. 45 rpm needs the optional adaptor.

The story

Speed stability starts with the power feeding the motor. The Majik LP12 power supply fits entirely inside the plinth and gives the synchronous AC motor consistent, low-noise power, filtering mains noise that would otherwise show up as motor judder and pitch wander. It runs the deck at a fixed 33⅓ rpm; singles are played with the optional 45 rpm adaptor on the motor pulley. Linn fits it to the Majik LP12 and sells it separately as a replacement for the Basik and Valhalla supplies of older decks. The motor is not included.

On Linn's upgrade path the Majik supply is the base; the Lingo adds digital speed management and a switched 45 rpm, and the Radikal replaces the AC motor altogether. For an older LP12 that still runs its original supply, this is the least expensive way to current specification.

Key technologies

  • Internal supply. Fits inside the LP12 plinth with no external box.
  • Mains filtering. Cleaner power to the AC motor for steadier speed.
  • Single speed. 33⅓ rpm, with 45 rpm by adaptor.
