The most renowned studio EQ ever known is now within your reach with the Lindell Audio LiNTEC Vintage Program Equalizer, you’ll sculpt your tracks hands-on via the classic Pultec-style workflow. Bring air and space to vocals and stringed instruments, beef up the low-end of kick drums and basses, or add a touch of warmth and weight to an entire bus. Once you’ve run your tracks through a LiNTEC, you’ll wonder how you got by with software EQs for so long. And you get all of this for a lot less than the price of other classic hardware EQs.

VINTAGE WORKFLOW FOR YOUR MODERN SOUNDS

LiNTEC’s lean, old-school design offers a shared LF Boost & Cut frequency selection for the low-end, and independent frequency selections for the HF Boost and HF Cut with a shared Bandwidth control. You’ll dial in the precise amount of tone-sculpting necessary to serve your song with no risk of muddying up your midrange. The LiNTECs’ Stepped pots ensure easy recall and stereo matching when used in a stereo pair. Its filters are based on classic EQP1A filters; complemented by their own new gain structure design.

CHERRY-PICKED COMPONENTS

With LiNTEC, they broke with tradition by choosing a solid-state design over a tube-driven one. Lindell Audio loves tubes as much as the next manufacturer, but in the case of the LiNTEC, solid-state offered myriad benefits that couldn’t be had with tubes:

• A faster transient response with a smooth, creamy, punchy character.
• Lower noise than tube-based compressors
• Better unit-to-unit matching for stereo pairing – units are matched by hand to within 1/4 dB of each other
• No tubes to wear out and replace

The LiNTEC’s op-amp is the same proven OPA 1731 op-amp used in their VIN and Retro series 500 Series compressors. Its transformers are custom-designed and made specifically for Lindell Audio.

THE PULTEC LOW-END TRICK

Yes, The LiNTEC does the infamous low-end trick that’s been used to fatten basslines and kick drums on thousands of recordings; just choose the desired LF frequency (try starting at 100 Hz) and turn up both the LF Boost and LF Attenuate controls at the same time to taste.
