Black Lion Auteur MKII 500 Series Mic Preamp Overview
Introducing the Black Lion Auteur MKII 500 Series Mic Pre.
The Auteur MKII 500 is one of the most value-for-money 500-series preamps around.
The Auteur MKII captures the clarity and nuance of each performance with a nice vintage touch - comprised of their transformer-coupled output stages. Other features inc. Phantom Power (+48v), Phase and a 10dB pad. It's encased within a 1U, 1/2 rack chassis, expandable with a second 1/2 rack by applying for the included connector plate.
The Auteur MKII's renovated gain stage offers higher gain, lower noise, lower distortion and an extended frequency response, succeeding its predecessor the MKI. It can be used on drums for a "rotund" result. Apply it to VOX for a silky polish. Listen to guitars like never before. However you choose to apply Auteur to your own work, it will be sure to perform like a pro!
