Lindell 354E

Plugin Alliance

The Lindell 354E is a faithful multi-band compressor plugin that reproduces the behavior and character of a famous vintage diode bridge compressor across 3 frequency bands. It uses diode bridge gain reduction circuitry and offers creative processing options like SMASH overload and mid/side compression modes, making it suitable for both transparent mastering and aggressive creative compression.

Key Features

013-band diode bridge compressor with phase-coherent 6dB/octave crossover filters
02Mid/Side compression mode on stereo tracks
03SMASH creative overload function
04NIVEAU filter for natural mastering compression
05Adjustable calibration level from -12 to -20 dBFS
06Oversampling at 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x sample rate to prevent aliasing
07Linked parameter control across all 3 bands with LINK switch
08A/B memory comparison with copy function

Things to Try

  • 01Use NIVEAU filter to compensate for natural 3dB/octave slope of music for transparent mastering compression
  • 02Lower the calibration level if the compressor responds too quickly to your audio material
  • 03Enable SMASH function for creative, heavy compression on drum room mics and rock vocals
