Solid-state instead of a tube output stage, custom-wound inductor, bespoke transformers, and an OPA 1731 op-amp – each unit hand-matched to within ±0.25 dB of the next, built specifically for confident stereo pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy solid-state over a tube\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eLindell's decision to drop the tube amplifier from a Pultec-style circuit is backed by measurable reasoning: solid-state delivers a faster transient response while retaining the smooth, creamy low-end character the topology is known for, produces lower self-noise, and – critically for professional use – achieves unit-to-unit consistency that vintage tube hardware simply cannot guarantee. Every LiNTEC leaves the factory matched by hand to within ¼ dB. The OPA 1731 op-amp is the same discrete circuit used in Lindell's VIN and Retro 500 Series compressors. Input and output transformers are custom-designed exclusively for this unit. Notably, the LiNTEC adds harmonic content to signal even with all EQ controls at zero – transformer and op-amp coloration is always present in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eThe Pultec low-end trick and everyday bus work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe LF section operates across 5 selectable frequencies (20, 30, 60, 100, 150 Hz) with independent boost and attenuation controls sharing the same frequency selector. Applying simultaneous boost and cut generates the well-documented Pultec low-end response: gain added below the selected frequency with a gentle dip immediately above it – tightening the bottom end without mid-bass buildup. The HF section offers 11 positions for boost and 8 for cut, with independently selectable frequencies and a shared Bandwidth control. All pots are stepped for fast, repeatable recall and straightforward stereo matching without test equipment. Hard bypass, IEC mains inlet, and balanced TRS I\/O round out a clean, no-compromise layout in 2U.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSingle-channel Pultec EQP-1A-style program EQ, solid-state design\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLindell Vintage OPA 1731 op-amp, custom input and output transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLF: 5 selectable frequencies (20, 30, 60, 100, 150 Hz), independent boost and cut on shared selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHF Boost: 11 selectable frequencies; HF Cut: 8 selectable frequencies, shared Bandwidth control\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAll potentiometers stepped – reliable recall and stereo matching\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFactory calibration to ±0.25 dB between units – confident stereo pairing\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHand-wound inductor\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHard bypass switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHarmonic coloration active even with EQ set flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eI\/O: balanced TRS 6.35 mm jack, IEC mains inlet (internal PSU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: 2U rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: single-channel, two-band program equalizer (Pultec-style)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCircuit design: solid-state, no tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOp-amp: Lindell Vintage OPA 1731 (discrete Melcor 1731 interpretation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTransformers: custom-designed for Lindell Audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInductor: hand-wound\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLF Boost\/Cut frequencies: 20, 30, 60, 100, 150 Hz (±10%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHF Boost: 11 positions; HF Cut: 8 positions, shared Bandwidth\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUnit-to-unit matching: ±0.25 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eI\/O: balanced TRS 6.35 mm jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBypass: hard bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: internal PSU, IEC inlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: 2U, 19\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lindell Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53445985010001,"sku":"59243","price":435.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/LindellAudioLiNTEC1.jpg?v=1775480075"}],"url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/collections\/lindell-audio.oembed","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
