Black Lion Audio Auteur MKIII 2-Channel Microphone Preamplifier
Back for round 3 in a more compact chassis, BLA's Auteur pre brings out the best in your mics with a transparent front end and vintage-inspired output stage.
Overview
True Chicago born sound. Black Lion Audio has been known and trusted for years as the go-to masters of audio equipment modification -- taking gear to new heights with uncompromising mods. Years of preamplifier modification have culminated into their own offering of Chicago-style sonic bliss: the Auteur mkIII, 2 channels of fast response, with fat low-end sound.
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 perfect 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.

Just received this preamp today. I spent about a hour with a couple different microphones.the preamp seems to be very quiet. I really like the phantom power .and it also has phase reverse which comes in really handy.i was hoping for a little better sound preamp that what I already have but so far sounds about the same.I will update as I use this preamp more.
