Lindell Audio

Modern analog hardware with punchy tone and focused control.

About Lindell Audio

Lindell Audio builds modern analog processors in Sweden with a clear design philosophy: punchy tone, focused control, and no unnecessary features. Founded by Tobias Lindell, the company draws on classic console circuit designs but strips away the complexity. Their compressors, preamps, and EQs deliver recognizable analog character without the learning curve of vintage gear. The 7X-500 FET compressor and the PEX-500 Pultec-style EQ have become studio staples in the 500-series format, offering fast attack times and musical saturation at accessible price points.

Compressor Processors

Lindell's compressor lineup includes FET, VCA, and optical designs, each targeting specific dynamics control needs. The 7X-500 is a fast FET compressor modeled after classic broadcast limiters, ideal for drums and aggressive program material. The 254E is a stereo bus compressor with transformer-balanced outputs and sidechain filtering, designed for mix glue without smearing transients. All Lindell compressors emphasize speed and clarity. You get the color of analog compression without the mud.

Preamps

Lindell's preamp designs focus on clean gain with optional harmonic saturation. The PEX-500 combines a mic preamp with passive Pultec-style EQ curves, giving you tone shaping at the input stage. The 50 Series preamps offer transformer-coupled gain stages with high headroom, suitable for ribbon mics and dynamic sources that need clean amplification. These aren't vintage clones. They're modern circuits built for reliability and consistent performance across different source material.

Multi-FX Processors

Lindell's multi-FX units combine compression, EQ, and saturation in single-rack or 500-series modules. The TE-100 is a channel strip with preamp, EQ, and compression derived from British console topologies. These processors are built for tracking, not mixing. You set your tone on the way in and commit to it. The signal path stays analog throughout, with no digital conversion or latency.
