Black Lion Audio Revolution 2X2 USB Audio Interface
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
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.
Watch producer Mike Watts record a song entirely through a BLA Revolution 2x2 interface and two Avantone Pro CV-12BLA microphones:
- 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
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.

The best sound you've heard
The most revolutionary thing to note about Revolution 2x2 is its sound quality: the sound of large, high-end converters that cost thousands of dollars is now available in a product that can fit in your hand -- and not break the bank.Revolution uses "Macro-MMC" Clocking technology, which is based off of Black Lion Audio's numerous clocking products and modifications.

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.Features:
- Modded out of the box -- all of Black Lion Audio's famous interface mods are here, without the need to ever improve that hardware- Sound quality that was previously only found in the very most high-end and costly equipment

A little confusing getting it set up but boy what a sound! I love this thing and worth every penny. I’ve seen some folks complain about it should have 2 headphones outlets. I’ve heard wished connections were in the back instead of front. Who cares if you want all that spend 1,500 dollars. I love it!!! All I know is it works and works very well I must say!!
