New product: Line Magnetic LM-212 Premium Integrated Amplifier
A New Benchmark in Tube Amplification — Introducing the Line Magnetic LM-212 Premium
Line Magnetic has once again redefined high-end audio with the release of its newest flagship amplifier — the LM-212 Premium. Following in the footsteps of the highly acclaimed LM-845 Premium, this new-generation masterpiece is the culmination of over a decade of research, refinement, and innovation.
At the heart of the LM-212 Premium lies the legendary 212 vacuum tube, celebrated among audiophiles for its ability to deliver an emotionally engaging and richly detailed sound. Originally developed for high-power transoceanic communications, the 212 tube has been masterfully re-engineered by Line Magnetic for safe and stable home audio use — an achievement that only a handful of manufacturers worldwide have managed.
The LM-212 Premium features a Single-Ended-Triode (SET) design, a topology prized for its sonic purity and musical realism. Remarkably, this amplifier delivers a powerful 2x50W output, a rare accomplishment for SET architecture, especially using the demanding 212 tube. The result is a combination of warmth, dynamics, and transparency that brings recordings to life with breathtaking clarity.
Visually, the amplifier pairs modern industrial aesthetics with classic hi-fi elegance. Its dual-chassis split design minimizes interference and noise, while the vacuum tubes glow behind a refined metallic housing. Dual-needle meters pulse with the music, enhancing the immersive experience both sonically and visually.
The LM-212 Premium is not just a feat of engineering — it’s an emotional statement for serious listeners. Crafted for those who seek not only high-fidelity sound but a deeper connection to their music, it promises a listening experience that is as moving as it is technically masterful.
Made to Australian standard of 240V~.

The Inner Mastery of the LM-212 Premium
The LM-212 Premium stands as a remarkable synthesis of technical innovation and artistic dedication. Building upon the legacy of the LM-845 Premium, this new-generation flagship amplifier brings the rare and revered 212 vacuum tube into the world of high-end domestic audio - a feat requiring significant expertise and bold vision.
Originally used in transoceanic communications, the 212 tube was never intended for home audio use. It operates at extremely high voltages - up to 2000V - posing serious design and safety challenges. Even when limited to a safer 1200V–1500V range, the requirements for circuit stability, transformer design, and construction remain immense. Few manufacturers have ever dared to tackle this tube, and even fewer have succeeded. Line Magnetic's decision to take on the challenge reflects a deep commitment to craftsmanship and innovation in pursuit of sonic excellence.
To harness the full potential of the 212, Line Magnetic created a unique amplifier design that combines a classic tube topology- 12AX7 for pre-amplification, KT88 for driving, and the 212 for final amplification. This configuration results in a pure single-ended output of 50W per channel, delivering an unmistakably rich, sweet, and textured sound. The amplifier captures the finest details in recordings with a sense of grandeur and ease, offering an emotional, immersive listening experience that brings music vividly to life.
A key innovation in the LM-212 Premium is its split-chassis design, which physically separates the amplification circuits from the power supply. This approach significantly reduces interference caused by magnetic fields and mechanical vibration, resulting in a cleaner, more transparent background. Power is delivered through four specially engineered Z11-core transformers: two for high voltage, one for the low-voltage circuits, and one dedicated to the filament of the 212 tubes. This ensures stable, efficient, and interference-free power delivery across all sections of the amplifier.
The careful isolation of power stages not only extends the lifespan of the tubes but also contributes to the amplifier’s overall sonic precision. With background noise kept below 1mV, the LM-212 Premium reveals even the most subtle nuances in recordings - details often lost in lesser designs.
The visual design of the LM-212 Premium reflects its inner sophistication. A symmetrical, industrial-inspired exterior is accented by a refined metallic finish that interacts beautifully with the warm glow of the vacuum tubes. Dual-needle meters move in harmony with the music, offering both aesthetic pleasure and real-time feedback on amplifier performance. This fusion of engineering and artistry creates an object of both beauty and purpose.
The LM-212 Premium is more than a technical achievement - it’s an amplifier that connects listener and music on an emotional level. After years of research, refinement, and passionate tone tuning, Line Magnetic has created a product that doesn't just sound exceptional - it feels exceptional. For audiophiles seeking the ultimate listening experience, the LM-212 Premium offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of music.
