Black Lion Audio / Auteur MkIII

A Chicago-style 2-channel microphone preamp that delivers high-speed response and fat low-end sound.

The Auteur MKIII's modern IC-based front-end design delivers high-speed, transparent sound, ideal for capturing every nuance and detail. The vintage-inspired output stage and Cinemag transformers combine to deliver a rich, colorful sound. This Chicago style, unique to BLA, makes it a versatile preamp. Both channels feature Hi-Z/line inputs, allowing you to add warmth and richness to your DAW's 2-mix in addition to instruments such as guitars and keyboards. The chassis is also mobile, making it ideal for compact desktop HA or small setups on the go, and can be mounted in a half rack using the included rack ears. Main Features
