Lindell Audio 6X-500VIN Vintage Edition

Enhance your audio rig with the Lindell Audio 6 X-500 VIN Vintage Edition, designed to deliver classic warmth and transparent gain in a compact 500 Series module. This unit addresses the need for precise preamplification and tonal flexibility, allowing engineers to craft detailed, professional sound with ease.

The core of this module is a single-channel, transformer-coupled solid state preamp built around the vintage Melcor 1731 op-amp, a predecessor to the modern 2520-style. This unique design imparts a distinct analog warmth and musicality, enriching your source material without overwhelming it. With up to 65 dB of gain, the preamp accommodates a wide range of microphones, from dynamic to condenser, ensuring optimal signal strength.

Phantom power at 48 V is integrated to support condenser microphones and active DI boxes, eliminating the need for external power sources and streamlining your setup. The polarity switch allows you to correct phase issues quickly, maintaining sonic integrity during tracking or mixing.

Complementing the preamp is a passive, 2-band Pultec-style equalizer, known for its smooth, musical tone shaping. The EQ offers three selectable low-frequency boosts at 30 Hz, 60 Hz, and 100 Hz, each with a ±10% variance, enabling you to add depth and body precisely where needed. The high-frequency boost options at 6 kHz, 10 kHz, and 16 kHz provide airy brightness and presence, enhancing clarity and definition in your mix.

This single-slot 500 Series module fits seamlessly into any standard 500 rack, conserving space without sacrificing functionality. Its robust construction and attention to vintage circuitry details ensure durability and consistent performance in demanding studio environments.

Use the Lindell Audio 6 X-500 VIN to inject character and control into your recordings. Whether tracking vocals, instruments, or mixing, this module offers nuanced tonal adjustments and rich preamp gain, elevating your sound with vintage-inspired quality and modern reliability.

Invest in a module that combines heritage circuitry with practical features like phantom power and polarity reversal. The 5-LED VU meter provides clear visual feedback for gain staging, making it easier to achieve optimal levels and avoid distortion. The Lindell Audio 6 X-500 VIN is a precise tool for professionals seeking detailed sound sculpting in a compact form factor.
