Lindell Audio 50 Series

Get the tone of the best American-made consoles and lunchbox units in history

Harness the tight, rich & punchy tone of the best American-made consoles

There’s a tight and powerful sound to API consoles, preamps and EQs that have made them some of the world’s favorites for creating professional-sounding drums, guitars, synths and more with attitude and presence. Thanks to Brainworx’s Tolerance Modeling Technology, you can now access the most convincing model of these classic consoles ever, including the slight channel-to-channel variances in the values of their analog components.

A lunchbox full of choices

The Lindell 50 Series does more than just model a single console. It provides you with an array of choices in the dynamics and EQ sections, allowing you to swap in your favorite style of these classic 500-series modules. Use them on busses or individual tracks.
 
Three classic EQs

Choose between the semi-parametric 50A EQ for three-band processing, the 50B for four bands, and the 60 for a precision graphic EQ for radically reshaping sounds in a way that’s as transparent and flexible as it is fun.

Two amazing compressors

The VCA compressor models API’s high end 2500 series compressor, with additional controls to improve upon the original. Meanwhile the included FET compressor provides a unique Lindell Audio design inspired by some of the best FET compressors made, coupled with the tone, simplicity and ease of use of the original 500 series.* Brainworx Audio's Tolerance Modeling Technology (TMT) is protected under the following patent: US Patent No. 10,725,727
