Lindell Audio LiN2A Vintage Leveling Amplifier

Lindell have meticulously engineered the Lindell Audio LiN2A to faithfully reproduce the tonal quality and ease-of-use of the de-facto dynamics processor of the past 60 years. The Lin2A's simple control scheme belies its versatility. Thanks to its superlative Black Lion T4BLA opto element, it can effortlessly deliver transparent level-smoothening for silky vocals… or add a bit of the bite and weight to bass and kick tracks.

60 years of history in your studio, today.

EFFORTLESS COMPRESSION AT THE TURN OF A KNOB

2A-style compression forgoes the conventional ratio, attack, and release controls of other compressors in favor of a simple 2-knob interface with program-dependent responsiveness. The LiN2A features a fantastic Compress mode (≈3:1) as well as a hard Limiter (∞:1) mode. In addition to its obvious application on vocals, the LiN2A is terrific on bass and kick tracks as well.

The LiN2A is so user-friendly, you couldn’t make it sound bad if you tried!

BLACK LION T4BLA OPTO ELEMENT

At the heart of almost every optical compressor lies a T4b style Optocell. During the design process, Black Lion Audio tested every single readily available and boutique T4b one could get their hands on and found the options to be sorely lacking. They found that no available optocells were holding up to their rigorous testing nor did they deliver the “feel” and quality that one should expect from a Black Lion product. In Black Lion “mod” tradition, they designed their own: the Black Lion Audio T4BLA.
