Two channels of transformer-less circuitry for $400.00?!!! AND its from Black Lion Audio. You can’t beat that with a stick with air conditioner wire attached to it. Me on the other hand you can based on one of my friends thinking it would be funny to actually do that WHILE I had wind pants on (it was the 90s people.)
Black Lion Audio is offering a limited time discount on their Auteur Pre-amp. This pre amp has actually been used in some pretty big albums so you know its got clout and with $100 off of normal pricing you really can’t lose
There are lots of mic preamps available these days. What makes ours so special??
For one, it’s a design that’s somewhat unique in its approach. Being admirers of the fully balanced transformer-less circuits found in highly acclaimed recording consoles, we chose to use a similar topology. We began with a high speed input stage that would pick up lots of detail and nuance, and then followed it with a high current output stage. Circuit headroom is plentiful, and the input stage is very difficult to clip. Because of its fully balanced design, it can handle input signals as large as +15dB with ease.
We also like classic transformer-based designs because of the characteristic they lend to the audio signal. Because of this, we added a 600 ohm M-6 silicon steel output transformer to give the audio a thick quality that’s reminiscent of a prized vintage preamp. It’s the best of both worlds in our opinion. The preamp is dual channel and features phase, +48vdc phantom power, and 10dB output signal pad.
Like all of the other models in our Micro Series, the elements of chassis and presentation are extremely simple, with a minimum of the fluff and promotion that tends to drive up the cost of equipment in our industry. If you’re looking for eye candy and name recognition to dominate your equipment list, this probably isn’t the preamp for you. On the other hand, if you’re looking for the sort of performance normally associated with high-end designs but need to acquire it at a modest price, our mic preamp will make a wise and affordable investment for your home or project studio.
