ABSTRACT
A founding member of the Audio Engineering Society, Lindenberg was born in Columbus, Ohio, and went on to study engineering at Ohio State University. In the mid 1930s he had a recording studio in Columbus, and soon after became interested in phonograph cartridge design. In 1941, he joined Sherman Fairchild at his company, with Fairchild soon after marketing a cartridge designed by Lindenberg. In 1950, Lindenberg was elected president of the AES, and from that year until 1959 he was chief engineer at Pickering and Company, working for Walter Stanton. He was responsible for refining the design of the molded pickup cartridges featuring the replaceable stylus assemblies that Stanton had designed. He also designed an integrated arm/cartridge combination, electrostatic loudspeakers, and a turntable. He left Pickering in 1960, and until 1967 was director of engineering at the Astatic Corporation. After leaving Astatic, he worked for the Martin Marietta corporation until his retirement, researching optics, electronics, piezoelectric devices, and laser components.
