LP12 Reinvented: Unmatched Performance with the “20/20” GL Upgrade

Experience your LP12 turntable like never before. With the “20/20” GL upgrade featuring Funk’s revolutionary Isolation Bubble technology, your beloved LP12 reaches new heights of performance, delivering unprecedented musical clarity and enjoyment.

Why Upgrade Your LP12?

For over 40 years, the LP12 has undergone numerous refinements, from the original sub-chassis to modern upgrades. Yet, critical limitations remain, holding back its true potential. Funk’s “20/20” GL aims to overcome these limitations, transforming your LP12 into one of the best turntables available today.

Key Features of the LP12 “20/20” GL

1. Revolutionary Motor Placement

  • Traditional top-plate mounted motors—especially rear-left positions—create instability and vibrational interference.
  • Funk’s solution relocates the motor to the sub-chassis for synchronized movement of the motor, record, and stylus, eliminating low-frequency noise and ensuring stable speed.

2. Three-Pulley Vector Drive System

  • Balances belt tension across the platter, reducing uneven rotation and bearing wear.
  • Delivers the lowest wow, flutter, and rumble ever measured, providing crystal-clear, rock-solid audio performance.

3. Suspension Reimagined

  • The new hanging suspension is a game-changer.
  • Fully adjustable from above, it offers a stable “set-and-forget” setup, eliminating the need for jigs, tools, or dealer visits.

4. Enhanced Chassis Design

  • A multi-component chassis combines rigidity and energy dissipation, maintaining critical arm-record relationships for unmatched playback fidelity.

5. FX3 Tonearm with F•X Technology

  • Features an industry-leading resonance peak of just 6dB, far surpassing competitors.
  • Recognized as the “Tonearm of the Year 2019,” the FX3 offers sweet, natural resolution and precise low frequencies.

6. Houdini and the Isolation Bubble

  • The Houdini decoupling system isolates the cartridge from the arm’s negative influences, unlocking the true potential of your records.
  • HiFi Plus Review: “After using Houdini, I can’t see a way back.”

7. Achromat Mat for Optimal Sound

  • Dissipates stylus vibrations as heat, reducing coloration and enhancing sound clarity.
  • Recognized as a critical component in achieving pure audio reproduction.

Your LP12, Enfunkated

With the “20/20” GL upgrade, your LP12 becomes a single-piece assembly:

  1. Retain your original bearing, arm, and plinth.
  2. Fit the “20/20” GL chassis.
  3. Adjust the suspension and connect the PSU.

This transformation delivers unmatched stability, clarity, and dynamic performance. You’ll hear your records as they were meant to be heard.
