Boutique recording equipment maker Lindell Audio has announced the availability of its LiN2A Vintage Levelling Amplifier which authentically reproduces the tonal quality and ease-of-use of the de-facto dynamics processor of 60 years with its latest engineered release – making it ready for today’s studio setups.

The ’2A-style compression of Lindell Audio’s LiN2A forgoes the conventional ratio, attack, and release controls of other compressors in favour of a simple two-knob (GAIN – up to 40dB ±1dB – and PEAK REDUCTION) control scheme with program-dependent responsiveness for instant results.

Thanks to its Black Lion Audio T4BLA Custom T4B optocell element, the LiN2A can effortlessly deliver smooth gain reduction and transparency — i.e. transparent level-smoothening for silky vocals or adding a bit of bite and weight to bass and kick tracks. Combining this with a dynamically responsive Compress (≈3:1) or hard Limit (∞:1) Mode makes for true tube-driven optical compression and limiting with ultra-fast attack and level-dependant release — as dictated by that Black Lion Audio T4BLA Custom T4B optocell element, effectively reproducing the tonal quality and ease-of-use of the de-facto dynamics processor of the past 60 years, manufactured for current studio setups.

Readily rounding out this exquisitely engineered 2U rack-mount design, which houses two US-manufactured Cinemag transformers, is a front panel-positioned vintage-style VU (Volume Unit) meter with Output +4, Output +10, and Gain Reduction metering options, as well as rear panel-positioned INPUT and OUTPUT on balanced ¼-inch TRS jacks to ensure easy connectivity between the LiN2A and other hardware.

A RAD Distribution company, Lindell Audio’s LiN2A is shipping and available at a Minimum Advertised Price of $699.00 USD. RAD Distribution is the exclusive North American distributor for Lindell Audio products (http://www.raddist.com/lindell-audio.php).
