Black Lion Audio Auteur MKIII – 2-Channel Transformer – Coupled Microphone Preamplifier Discount

The Auteur mkIII design starts with a modern front-end that’s best described as fast and transparent — perfect for capturing every nuance and detail. This is followed up by a vintage-inspired output-stage design coupled with a Cinemag transformer for massive, colourful sound. This design approach results in a preamp that’s a perfect jack-of-all-trades that sounds amazing on everything you can throw at it. Both channels have line-level inputs for adding warmth and weight to keyboards, synths and even full stereo mixes. The Hi-Z switch makes for a stellar instrument input for direct capture of guitar and bass. Auteur MkIII features a tour-worthy chassis, that’s extremely portable. Not only is it great on the go, but it fits perfectly on a desktop for smaller setups. Removable rack ears are also included, as Auteur MkIII can be racked in a 1/2U space. Every good mic needs a great preamp to bring out its best, and the Auteur mkIII is an exceptional offering for your entire microphone collection.
