Linn Standard Armboard Five-Layer Laminate Armboard

Linn Standard Armboard

The Linn Standard Armboard is a genuine five-layer laminate armboard designed for fitting a compatible tonearm to a Linn Sondek LP12 turntable. It provides a stable mounting platform for tonearm installation and is suitable for maintaining or rebuilding a compatible LP12. Professional fitting and a complete turntable setup are required to ensure correct installation and compatibility with the chosen tonearm.

Compatibility note

The armboard must be correctly prepared for the chosen tonearm.

Why choose the Linn Standard Armboard?

The Linn Standard Armboard provides a genuine replacement or installation platform for a compatible tonearm fitted to a Linn Sondek LP12. It may be required during a tonearm change, LP12 rebuild or refurbishment where the existing armboard is damaged, incorrectly drilled or unsuitable for the chosen arm.

Five-layer laminate construction

The Standard Armboard uses a five-layer laminate construction. It is designed to provide a stable mounting surface while forming part of the wider suspended LP12 structure.

Designed for the Linn Sondek LP12

The armboard is intended specifically for compatible Linn Sondek LP12 turntables. The existing sub-chassis, tonearm type and mounting pattern should be checked before ordering.

Tonearm mounting compatibility

Different tonearms may require different mounting holes, geometry or preparation. The correct armboard specification should therefore be confirmed for the exact tonearm being installed rather than assuming one board suits every configuration.

Part of the LP12 structure

The armboard supports the tonearm and connects it mechanically to the sub-chassis. Accurate installation helps maintain correct tonearm geometry, cartridge alignment and the relationship between the arm and platter.

Suitable for servicing and refurbishment

A replacement armboard can be fitted during an LP12 service, rebuild or tonearm upgrade. This also provides an opportunity to review the condition of the sub-chassis, suspension, tonearm cable and cartridge setup.

Professional installation recommended

Fitting an armboard requires careful alignment and may involve drilling or preparation for the selected tonearm. An experienced Linn specialist should confirm compatibility, install the armboard and complete the final tonearm and cartridge setup.
