With Klimax LP12, you’ll experience your favourite albums – both cherished classics and those freshly unwrapped – as if it were for the first time.
The latest iteration of our reference turntable, Klimax LP12, produces an even more musical, pitch-perfect performance.
This is thanks to our latest, hyper-accurate speed management technology, whisper-quiet power supply, and cutting-edge motor design; and also to the level of fidelity achieved following our team’s extensive experiments in material science – culminating in the breakthrough that is our all-new flagship cartridge.
Pitch Perfect Performance
When you hear it, you’ll understand why we struggled to find a word for better-than-best.
