Black Lion Audio Auteur Mk2

The Auteur MKII is a two channel preamp that features high-speed input stages that capture lots of detail and nuance, and transformer-coupled output stages that impart a nice touch of vintage vibe. It also features phantom power, phase, and a 10dB pad. It’s housed in a 1U, 1/2 rack chassis, and can be linked together with a second ½ rack unit by using the included connector plate. The preamp has a revamped gain stage that results in higher gain, lower noise, lower distortion, and a more extended frequency response. Use it on drums for rotund results. Throw it on vocals for a silky polish.
