Black Lion Audio Revolution 2X2 USB Audio Interface








With premium converters, Macro-MMC clocking, and high-end analog circuits, the Black Lion Revolution 2X2 interface delivers pro-quality sound at a low price.
Overview
Black Lion Audio Revolution 2x2 delivers the ultimate in portable recording interfaces. Revolution isn't another run-of-the-mill interface from big brother -- it's the interface the world has always asked for.
Revolution uses "Macro-MMC" Clocking technology, which is based off of Black Lion Audio's numerous clocking products and modifications. Macro-MMC's circuit implementation brings converters to new heights; well beyond what's been seen in other recording interfaces. Black Lion Audio also assembled their finest A/D//D/A technology, giving you the record-making power you've never had before in an interface this small, portable, and affordable.

The Revolution Software Suite starts with PreSonus Studio One Artist -- the cutting edge DAW for all of your production needs. But if that wasn't enough, it also includes select plugins from Izotope, Brainworx, and Lindell.
- Sound quality that was previously only found in the very most high-end and costly equipment
- 2 preamps, 2 analog outputs, 2 analog inputs / 2x2 simultaneous
- Extremely portable, and bus-powered via USB
- Incredible internal clocking with "Macro-MMC" clocking technology
- High-end Vishay, Nichicon, and Wima capaciters, and high-end ICs
- An incredibly low signal-to-noise ratio
- All inputs and outputs are fully decoupled and balanced in a way only seen in high-end equipment
- Internal "PG-i" technology reduces noise contamination from external equipment
- Includes PreSonus Studio One Artist, as well as plug-ins from Izotope, Brainworx, and Lindell
It took an impressive amount of design to revolutionize bus-powered, studio-grade interfaces. Black Lion Audio have been revered as the "king of audio mods" for years, and have modded countless recording interfaces over the years. But since the very beginning, they have been asked when they would create their own interface. So, they planned, engineered, and worked -- all in secret, for years.

Top-tier analog design
Hi-fi digital design alone isn't enough to cut it -- it takes a serious analog circuit for the very best capture and playback. Revolution 2x2 is built with the most cutting edge, high- end ICs. High-end Vishay, Nichicon, and Wima capacitors are used throughout the entire circuit. All internal gain-staging has been optimized for the very lowest signal-to- noise ratio. All of the analog I/O has not only been built… read more with the finest components, but are fully decoupled and balanced -- right to the very core of the convertor! Most manufacturers do not follow this practice, and that allows extra noise contamination during both capture and playback.Noise-proof
Revolution also employs "PG-i" technology internally, based off of Black Lion Audio's experience in engineering their "best-of-class" power conditioners. All power rails are highly filtered in every active stage across Revolution 2x2 -- something that isn't even found in the most well-respected, high-end equipment. Power is decoupled across the entire circuit: the preamplifiers, the convertors, the internal power, and even the clock. This majorly helps reduce noise contamination from other equipment that is plugged into Revolution 2x2.A complete software suite
A revolutionary interface needs life-changing software to boot, and Revolution 2x2 delivers.

The ONLY problem with this interface is once you hear how incredible everything sounds through it nothing else can really compare.This thing is pure witchcraft. The sound is transparent yet colored, Flat yet Vibrant and Dynamic.I refuse to listen to numbers. I engineer Sound, Not mathematics. My ears review after review say that this interface is battling with the more universally known brands *ahem*.. and in my opinion BLA is winning.My ears have tuned to everything from a Behringer UMC, Scarlette, Evo, Apollo, all the way up the Lynx we use at the studio.This thing holds its weight WELL when compared to the Lynx. As far as the otherS mention. They are not even in the same solar system as this. Ether the quality lacks or the price tag is double for this kind of sound. Not to mention this is hands down the best headphone amp I have ever heard.. anywhere in anything at any price.Don't sit on this. Momentum is picking up and BLA is not the biggest company.. Get it while they last or be last to get it.¡Viva la Revolución!
