Linn Krane Tonearm

The Linn Krane Tonearm is designed for compatible Linn Sondek LP12 turntables and provides the mechanical link between the cartridge and turntable structure.

Correct installation, cartridge alignment and tonearm setup are essential, so professional fitting by an experienced Linn specialist is recommended.

Why choose the Linn Krane Tonearm?

The Linn Krane Tonearm provides a dedicated tonearm option for compatible Linn Sondek LP12 systems. It supports the cartridge as it tracks the record groove and forms an important part of the turntable’s mechanical and playback system.

Designed for the Linn Sondek LP12

Krane is intended for use with compatible Linn Sondek LP12 turntables rather than as a universal tonearm for every turntable design. The existing armboard, sub-chassis and turntable specification should be checked before ordering.

Compatible cartridge required

The Linn Krane Tonearm is supplied without a cartridge. A suitable moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridge can be selected according to the tonearm, phono stage and wider system configuration.

Tonearm cable not included

The Linn price list confirms that the tonearm cable is not included with the Krane Tonearm. A compatible cable, such as the appropriate Linn T-Kable, should therefore be selected separately according to the required length and connector type.

Professional cartridge alignment

The cartridge must be mounted and aligned accurately once the tonearm has been installed. Tracking force, alignment, tonearm balance and other setup parameters should be checked before the turntable is used.

Part of an LP12 upgrade programme

The Linn Krane Tonearm may be fitted as part of a wider LP12 service, rebuild or upgrade programme. Its suitability should be assessed alongside the turntable’s sub-chassis, armboard, bearing, cartridge, power supply and phono stage.

Professional Linn installation required

Installing the tonearm requires the LP12 to be correctly supported, assembled and configured. An experienced Linn specialist should fit the arm, route the cable, install the cartridge and complete the final turntable setup.
