$490
1-channel, 2-band Solid-state Vintage Program Equalizer
Available on backorder
The most renowned studio EQ ever known is now within your reach! With the LiNTEC, 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 our own new gain structure design.
The LiNTEC is also useful for adding a touch of warmth and harmonic content to program material… and will do so even with its EQ set flat!
Cherry-Picked Components
With LiNTEC, we broke with tradition by choosing a solid-state design over a tube-driven one. We love 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 equalizers
Better unit-to-unit matching for stereo pairing – units are matched by hand to within ¼ 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 our VIN and Retro series 500-series compressors. Its transformers are custom-designed and made specifically for Lindell Audio.
