Black Lion Audio Auteur Quad2 Priekšpastiprinātājs/statīva pastiprinātājs

Auteur Quad2 is a four-channel rackmount version of the acclaimed Auteur mic preamp. Known for its snappy, transparent American-style IC-based input stage and its fat, colorful British-inspired output stage driven by US-made Cinemag transformers, the Auteur design delivers a perfect balance of precision and warmth. This hybrid blend of vintage and modern circuitry makes Auteur Quad2 exceptionally versatile — ideal for capturing detailed sources that also benefit from added body and character, such as drums or vocals.

Workhorse studio preamp features

Auteur Quad2 allows simultaneous recording of up to four channels, each equipped with independent +48V phantom power, polarity reverse, and a -10 dB pad. Every channel includes a dedicated instrument input on the front panel for direct recording, while the rear panel provides XLR inputs along with both XLR and TRS outputs.

Enhanced gain structure, brand-new analog VU meters, and dual-function ¼" inputs supporting both instrument and line-level signals further refine the design. With its blend of channel count, sonic fidelity, and practical features, Auteur Quad2 stands out as one of the most value-packed preamps available.

Versatile, Chicago-style Auteur design

Combining the crisp, transparent input stage of classic American engineering with the harmonically rich output of British coloration, Auteur Quad2 delivers a sound that’s both articulate and musical. Its versatility makes it equally at home on guitar amps, vocals, drums, or any source demanding both clarity and depth.

Sublime quality — inside and out

Housed in a rugged brushed black aluminum chassis, Auteur Quad2 is built to handle the demands of professional studios and live setups alike. Inside, premium components — including robust Cinemag transformers and carefully selected Nichicon and Vishay capacitors — ensure pristine audio performance, exceptional reliability, and ultra-low noise operation.
