Plugin Alliance has introduced a new channel strip plugin that faithfully recaptures the classic tone of the Helios Type 69 consoles, which are known for their smooth and harmonic sound, heard on legendary records by the likes of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, the Who, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, and Bob Marley.

The Lindell Audio 69 Series delivers the sound of the original analog console with expanded features.

Coveted for their unique-sounding preamps, precise filters, and smooth and musical EQs, Helios arguably made the coolest consoles of the 60s and 70s. Selected by The Rolling Stones for their famous mobile recording studio and used to record Led Zeppelin’s most enduring albums, Helios consoles were simple in operation but offered a complex and characterful tone that was hard to resist. Lindell’s plugin adds to the original by bringing the Helios bus EQs and compressors directly into a channel strip.

Lindell Audio 69 Series features

  • Authentic Helios Type 69 Emulation: Captures the rich, musical character of the classic Helios Type 69 console, revered for its smooth, open sound and unmatched harmonics.
  • Helios F760 Compressor/Limiter: Includes the versatile FET compressor/limiter, offering a wide range of transparent to aggressive compression.
  • Pre-EQ-69: Provides the full-bodied warmth and natural presence of the iconic Helios preamp and EQ, meticulously modeled for the digital realm.
  • Passive 69: Recreates the smooth, musical response of the classic passive equalizer, renowned for its ability to add depth and warmth to any source material.
  • Intuitive Interface: The user-friendly interface makes it easy to dial in your perfect sound, while the resizable window adapts to your workflow.
