Don't be square be PRISM™

Solid-Sounds are proud to announce the arrival of the Linn LP12 PRISM™ plinth.

How do you modernise a classic? That was the challenge we set ourselves at Solid-Sounds with the iconic

Linn Sondek LP12 turntable. For nearly 50 years the LP12 turntable has steadily evolved with new

materials and technology finding its way into the timeless design. Many third party manufactures have

independently worked to increase the vast option list making it a truly unique product. We love the LP12

for its ability to be completely tailored to its owner and something  that can evolve at any time should the

owner wish.

Solid-Sounds offer a range of LP12 plinths and so this crucial part of the turntables structure was an area

of great interest as it has hardly changed in its half a century of existence. Yes fluting has come and gone,

afromosia timber is no longer an option and probably the biggest change was the inclusion of internal

corner bracing some 20+years go…hardly ground breaking.

Linns outsourced plinth manufacturing partners have come and gone too over the decades with highs and

lows in their quality and wood choice. 3rd party artisan makers have explored some of the most unusual

and exotic hardwoods making completely one off statement plinths that are something to cherish for life.

Exceptions have arisen with the birth of CNC machined aluminium plinths, bamboo, even marble &

concrete but still the basic aesthetic has remained the same…that was until now!

We are pleased to introduce the brand new Solid-Sounds PRISM™ plinth.

The PRISM™ plinth retains all the basic elements of the iconic Linn plinth including all the necessary

dimensions for installing the top plate, arm-board, sub chassis, cross brace, lid and baseboard. How the

PRISM™ plinth differs is that the 50 year old square angular styling of the standard plinth has been

replaced with a series of sharp geometric angles creating a stunning contemporary design. Each carefully

selected angle aligns with some of the turntables key elements; an example of this is that the offset front

angle is perfectly aligned to the bearing drawing focus on one  of the critical elements of the turntable. This

brand new interpretation viewed through a completely new optic offers all the same qualities of the finest

artisan made plinths including exacting corner grain matching and the choice of stunning hardwoods but

with a modern twist.

Just like a beautifully cut diamond  when the light catches the angles of the PRISM™ plinth the true beauty

of this design is reflected.

Don’t be square be PRISM™ and enjoy a total unique statement plinth that a cut or two above the norm!
