LINDELL AUDIO / LIN2A

A faithful recreation of the legendary 2A opto-compressor. The top-of-the-line Black Lion T4BLA opto-element delivers smooth gain reduction and transparent sound.

The LIN2A was meticulously designed to faithfully reproduce the sound quality and ease of use of the best opto-dynamics processors in recording history over the past 60 years.

The LIN2A's simple control scheme successfully defies the compressor's versatility in a positive way. With the top-of-the-line Black Lion T4BLA opto-element, you can easily smooth vocals to a silky, smooth tone, or add bite and weight to bass and kick drums.

By deliberately omitting the ratio, attack, and release controls found in typical compressors, the 2A-style compressor simply controls pre-programmed optimal settings with a two-knob interface. In other words, you don't have to worry about it sounding bad no matter how you use it.
