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, transformerless circuits found in highly acclaimed recording consoles, we chose to use a similar topology. We began with a high speed input stage that picks up lots of detail and nuance, and then followed it with a high current output stage. 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.
If you're a fan of Black Lion's Auteur 2-Channel mic pre but dig the 500 series format better, the Black Lion Audio Auteur 500 Series is the mic preamp for you. This single-channel, 500 Series-configured version of the Auteur is compatible with other 500 Series racks from a variety of other companies. The Auteur 500 Series has the same high-speed transformerless input as the half-rack version, polarity inversion, +48v phantom power, as well as a 10 dB output signal pad.
