Silky, controlled vocals and fuller bass with just two knobs. The Lindell Audio LiN2A is a tube-driven optical leveling amplifier built to recreate the tone and ease of use of the classic ‘2A compressor – the go-to dynamics processor of the last 60 years. Its simple controls make it very hard to make it sound bad.
Why customers choose it
Who it is for
Recording and mixing studios that track vocals, bass, acoustic instruments and voice-over, podcasters who want a smooth, even voice, and producers who want a real tube-opto compressor instead of a plug-in.

FAQ
Why are there no attack and release knobs?
Like the classic ‘2A, the LiN2A’s attack and release are set by the opto cell and change with the music, so it reacts naturally without adjustment.
What is the difference between Compress and Limit?
Compress gives gentle control at roughly 3:1; Limit works at ∞:1 to stop peaks hard.
