Lindell Audio 18XS Discrete Microphone Preamplifier and Equalizer

The Lindell Audio 18XS is a one channel transformer coupled microphone preamplifier, DI, line amplifier and passive Pultec equalizer. It's an all discrete design based on the great 990 amplifier.

The equalizer is Lindell Audio's take on the magical classic Pultec design. It's got 15 dB boost of the creamiest high end you've ever heard, and the most punchy low end heard in the 21st century.

They've have also incorporated their famous "Mix Knob" from the 17X compressor. This means that you can parallel equalize your line input, giving you more flexibility, and a way of creating new tones.

- Up to 65 dB of gain
- Transformer coupled balanced inputs and balanced outputs
- High impedance DI input
