Description
From the start, the original LiN76 was designed to deliver a range of dynamics processing that ranged from transparent program compression to aggressively crushed, pulsing drum mixes. After four years of runaway success, the LiN76 mkII has arrived with several updates coming directly from customer feedback and feature requests.
Of course, you still get the same versatility and quality you'd expect from a LiN76. You'll be able to gently shape a delicate lead vocal, or smash your drum room track with all-buttons in mode.
What's new in LiN76 mkII?
LiN76 mkII picks up where the LiN76 left off. Lindell Audio updated their take on the classic 76 compressor with four years worth of customer feedback.
Here's what's new
- RCA jack for stereo linking - use two LiN76 mkIIs in balanced, matched stereo operation.
- Updated and improved compression circuit. LiN76 mkII features a totally 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, counter clockwise = 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
The 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 Transformer) 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.
Lindell Audio found these circuits compliment each other very well, and grant the user a wide range of tonal options. Dial up the input stage with a lower output setting for clean tones; lower the input with a higher output setting for a bit of grit and color.
- Instant vintage-vibe dynamics processing
- Custom-made transformer
- RCA jack for matched stereo operation
- True bypass for quick A/B comparisons
- Revised compressor circuit for higher performance and low noise
- 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, and "All-buttons-in" compression ratio modes
- Vintage-style VU for monitoring
- Variable attack and release times, with ultra-fast attack options
- Balanced input and output

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
