Lindell Audio - LiNTEC

The Lindell Audio LiNTEC transposes the legendary approach of Pultec-type equalisers into a modern, reliable and accessible format, designed for today's studios. It allows you to sculpt the bass and treble in a musical way, with wide, natural curves, ideal for adding depth, air and substance without ever hardening the signal. Whether on vocals, bass, kick drum or a stereo bus, the LINTEC fits elegantly into the mix straight away.

The architecture is based on a solid-state analogue design, chosen to offer fast transient response, low noise and excellent coherence between units, particularly when used as a stereo pair. The filters are based on the famous EQP-1A curves, while incorporating a modernised gain structure developed by Lindell Audio. Notched potentiometers make it easy to recall settings and ensure precise balancing in stereo configuration.

LINTEC allows you to apply the famous "Pultec low-end trick", which consists of simultaneously accentuating and attenuating the low frequencies to obtain a dense, punchy bass, while maintaining a clean, legible midrange. Even without active equalisation, the passage of the signal through LINTEC provides a slight harmonic richness and a typically analogue sensation of depth.

In terms of construction, the unit uses transformers on the inputs and outputs, a vintage 1731 operational amplifier and hand-wound inductors, guaranteeing a coherent sound signature and excellent longevity. The Lindell Audio LINTEC is aimed at engineers and producers looking for a simple, musical and immediately usable hardware equalizer that can replace many software solutions.
