Linn Klimax Radikal | LP12 Motor Control & PSU | Martins Hi-Fi

Power that transforms everything.

The new Klimax Radikal combines Linn's reference motor control with the bespoke Utopik power supply in stunning machined casework. Separate voltage rails for motor and Urika phono stage ensure each receives consistent, isolated power. At nearly 14kg of precision-machined aluminium, this is LP12 power delivery perfected.

Features & Benefits

Utopik Power Supply with Dedicated Rails

Separate, self-regulating voltage rails independently supply the motor controller and Urika phono stages. Sudden power draws from one never affect the other. This independence ensures consistent, clean power to both, dramatically improving performance across your entire LP12.

Electrical Isolation Architecture

The Utopik PSU sits in its own machined aluminium sarcophagus behind the front panel. Thick aluminium walls and physical distance from the main Radikal board create superior electrical isolation, eliminating interference between power supply and control circuitry.

14kg Machined Chassis

Three pieces of solid aluminium, precision-machined and assembled into a 14kg fortress. High-mass stainless steel feet with rubber ring inserts provide exceptional mechanical isolation. External vibrations simply don't reach the sensitive electronics inside.

Klimax Aesthetic Consistency

Beautiful machined casework brings Radikal into the current Klimax design language. Available in black or silver, it sits perfectly alongside other Klimax components whilst housing the most sophisticated LP12 motor control system Linn has ever created.
