Lindell Audio LIN76 MKII Overview

Featuring the same range of iconic compression processing as the original but with newly improved dynamics circuitry, the Lindell Audio LiN76 MKII is a '76-style limiting amp inspired by both Rev G, Rev D, and Rev A variants and loaded with true FET circuitry. From transparent clarity to colorful grit, the LiN76 MKII offers decades of analog dynamics processing.

The LiN76 MKII features USA-made transformers and a vintage-style VU for monitoring. The rear panel includes a meter calibration pot for fine-tuning meter response. The standard compression ratios are included (4:1, 8:1, 12:1, and 20:1), as well as the infamous all-button mode (infinity:1) made famous by British recording engineers throughout the 1970s. The rear panel includes balanced 1/4" TRS input and output jacks and a new RCA link connection for stereo processing with a second LiN76 MKII unit. Further improving on the original design, the unit now features an internal power supply, avoiding bulky power adapters. The LiN76 MKII includes an IEC power cable.

What's New with MKII
  • RCA jack for stereo linking: use two LiN76 mkIIs in balanced, matched stereo operation
  • Updated and improved compression circuit, featuring a completely re-designed compressor circuit with much higher performance and low noise
  • New internal power supply and IEC cable: no more bulky external power supply
  • Traditional ‘76 control scheme for Attack/Release (clockwise = faster, counterclockwise = slower)
  • True bypass: quickly bypass the unit for quick A/B testing of your settings
  • New meter calibration pot for fine-tuning VU meter performance
Best of All 76 Worlds
The classic 76 compressor had multiple revisions within its lifetime, each with its own benefits. With the LiN76 mkII, Lindell Audio cherry-picked the best elements of multiple classic circuit revisions to create a versatile, best-of-all-worlds studio workhorse.

  • The LiN76 mkII input circuit is inspired by both the classic Rev. G and Rev. D input circuits, known for exceptionally clean preamplification going into the compression stage 
  • The LiN76 mkII compression circuit features a FET (Field Effect Transistor) used in some of the earliest 76 models, selected for tone character. Its transformer is custom-made for Lindell Audio
  • The LiN76 mkII output circuit is inspired by the Rev. A output circuit, which is noticeably dirty when pushed
