Lindell Audio LiNTEC Vintage Program Equalizer

1-channel, 2-band Solid-state Program Equalizer

No-nonsense, Vintage-style Track Sculpting

The Lindell Audio LiNTEC is a vintage-style program equalizer that lets you add a renowned piece of track-sculpting studio hardware to your rack. This one-channel, two-band EQ boasts a familiar, tried-and-true workflow, allowing for simultaneous boost and cut for each band. Whether you want to add heft to your kick drum, bring more air to your vocals, or infuse your mix bus with extra weight, the LiNTEC is more than up to the task. It's also great for adding an ear-grabbing harmonic complexity to program material — even with its EQ controls set to zero. Unlike most comparable hardware units, the LiNTEC brandishes solid-state circuitry, which yields a faster transient response and lower self-noise characteristics than most tube-based designs. The LiNTEC contains high-quality components, including an OPA-Melcor 1731-style op-amp, a hand-wound inductor, and custom-designed transformers. Finally, the LiNTEC features solid-feeling stepped knobs and real hardware bypass. Any engineer seeking hardware that enhances the sound quality of all audio passing through it will be highly satisfied with the Lindell Audio LiNTEC.

A familiar workflow with easy repeatability

Engineers familiar with the workflow of a vintage-style program equalizer will have no trouble finding their way around the LiNTEC. This EQ's old-school design includes simultaneous boost and cut for each of its two bands, along with a Bandwidth control. The engineers here at Sweetwater appreciate the LiNTEC's stepped knobs, as they ensure dead-simple repeatability and make matching a stereo pair of units a piece of cake.

A classic design for modern sounds

The Lindell Audio LiNTEC brandishes filters based on the classic program equalizers of yesteryear, ensuring predictable behavior for engineers who are familiar with the vintage units. That said, these filters are complemented by an entirely new gain-structure design that yields a warm, harmonic-rich sound that's decidedly modern. The LiNTEC is a veritable secret weapon; it will pump up your bass lines and kick drums, add airy goodness to stringed instruments and vocals, and add an indelible warmth to any program material you run through it.

Contains high-quality components

Unlike most vintage-style program equalizers, the LiNTEC boasts a solid-state design instead of a tube-driven one. Solid state offers numerous advantages, including a faster transient response, lower self-noise characteristics, superior unit-to-unit matching for stereo pairing, and better reliability. The LiNTEC houses an OPA-Melcor 1731-style op-amp, which is the same op-amp used in Lindell Audio's VIN and Retro 500 Series compressors. You also get a hand-wound inductor and custom-designed input and output transformers.
