About this listing
Black Lion Audio B173 Quad PreamplifierPlease give a warm welcome to all 70dB of Black Lion Audio's latest iteration of 1073-style gain, the B173 Quad! Rather than "just another clone," the B173 Quad seamlessly combines vintage character with modern sensibilities in a stylish 2U chassis with a feature set to satisfy the most demanding of audio engineers. A revamped gain stage and lower noise floor pave the way to a cleaner, lower distortion sound, while Cinemag input and output transformers keep things smooth and warm. Two front panel D.I.'s impart a harmonically rich tone to guitars, keyboards, and synthesizers, and stepped input gain and variable output attenuation allow for perfect control over transformer saturation. Metering on all 4 channels displays how hot your output signal is hitting the parallel TRS/XLR outputs, and an external power supply keeps noise out of your tracks!At under $375/channel, there's no reason not to add a B173 Quad to your front end arsenal, or two!Specs:- Mic Section- Max Microphone Input Level: +1dBu- Input Impedance: 200O- Pad: None- Gain (no pad): +12dB to +70dB- Equivalent Input Noise (noise floor): -105dBu- THD+N: (@4dB Output):- .04% @ 8dBu- .05% @ 25dBu- .06% @ 40dBu- .08% @ 55dBu- .21% @ 66dBu- Bandwidth (1kHz, 150O source, unweighted): 10Hz to 30kHz- D.I.
