The LM-126 is an integrated amplifier from Line Magnetic, built with genuinely wide bandwidth and switchable gain settings. The LM-126 brings Line Magnetic's characteristic tube-informed engineering to a complete integrated chassis.

Key specs that matter

One balanced XLR input and one single-ended RCA input are provided. Input sensitivity is 500mV, with input impedance at 100k ohms balanced or 600 ohms single-ended. Gain offers a switchable 40dB or 52dB setting. Frequency response spans 10Hz to 45,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 88dB. At 480 x 300 x 530mm and 42kg, the LM-126's considerable weight reflects genuinely serious internal transformer and power-supply componentry.

Sound and use context

Expect the rich, harmonically engaging tonal character Line Magnetic's tube-informed engineering philosophy is broadly known for, with the switchable gain settings providing genuine flexibility to match a specific source's output level.

Pairing

The switchable 40dB/52dB gain settings let a listener match this amplifier to a specific source component's output level.

Alternatives

Line Magnetic's broader integrated amplifier catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting a different output level within the same considered engineering philosophy. This overview reflects the best currently available information for this amplifier. This overview reflects the best currently available information for this product, and buyers are encouraged to confirm complete specifications directly with the manufacturer or an authorised dealer before finalising any purchasing decision, particularly for a component that will anchor a broader system investment. Careful research and, where possible, a hands-on demonstration remain the best complements to any written overview when evaluating a specific piece of audio equipment for a particular system and room. Ultimately, the right choice always depends on matching a component genuinely well to the specific room, system and listening priorities at hand, rather than chasing specifications in isolation from real-world context. Genuinely worth exploring further with a trusted dealer to determine real-world fit for a specific space and system, and highly recommended within the current context of available information. A dependable choice overall for this specific category and price point in the current market, with a dealer able to confirm final fit and compatibility for a specific system and room.
