Black Lion B12AQUAD 4 Channel American Console Microphone Preamp/DI w/ CineMag
Its design
inspired by a legendary vintage American console mic preamp, the API 312A, the
B12A Quad four channel microphone preamplifier packs a massive punch. With its
transformer-coupled input and output stages and 70dB of gain on tap, the B12A
Quad serves up heaping portions of low-noise headroom. Now you?ll finally be
able to use your low-output ribbon mics on quiet sources! The B12A Quad imparts
a bold sonic assertiveness that beefs up any signal you pass through it.
The B12A
Quad is a 4-channel version of the legendary single-channel B12A Mk2. More than
just another 312A clone, the B12A Quad combines vintage-inspired sonics and
modern features in a rugged 1RU chassis with a smart feature set that will
satisfy the most demanding audio engineers. A revised gain stage and lower noise
floor deliver cleaner sound with lower distortion, while CineMag input and
output transformers keep things warm, creamy, and beefy. Two front-panel DIs
impart harmonic richness to guitars, basses, and synths, while stepped input
gain and variable output attenuation give you exacting control over transformer
saturation. Per-channel metering displays how hot your output signal is hitting
the parallel TRS/XLR outputs, while an external power supply keeps noise out of
your tracks.
