Console vibe for your desktop.<\/strong>
\nThe Auteur\u00a0DT is a versatile preamp\/DI box ready to suit all of your single-channel recording needs. Thanks to 60 dB of Chicago console-style gain and 1\/4\u201d and XLR inputs, Auteur DT will accurately capture and enhance anything you throw at it: the crackling snap of a well-tuned snare \u2014 or the thunder, resonance, and decay of a \u201870s acrylic kick drum getting hit hard. Add heat and texture to synths and mix-penetrating presence to vocals. Rest assured \u2014 anything you plug into the Auteur\u00a0DT will sound better coming out of it.<\/p>\n

Auteur\u00a0DT exists to capture every bit of sweat equity that goes into your recordings\u2026 in fact, bringing out the fully polished potential of your final product is the inspiration for everything Black Lion Audio makes.<\/p>\n

More than just a preamp\u2026<\/strong>
\nElectric whatever: guitar, bass, baritone, or viola \u2014 the Auteur\u00a0DT doesn\u2019t care what you play: it cares how you sound. Auteur\u00a0DT makes anything you plug into it sound weighty, detailed, harmonically rich, and above all \u2014 clean. There\u2019s simply not a better single-channel direct box in its price class\u2026 and certainly not one that doesn\u2019t look like it was component-sourced via a dumpster dive behind an antique radio museum. Auteur\u00a0DT will dutifully respect every ingredient of your tonal recipe \u2014 your technique, string gauge, fingerboard choice, and especially those pickups you paid too much for.<\/p>\n

Sublime quality \u2014 inside and out.<\/strong>
\nWith a tough-as-nails brushed black aluminum chassis bookended by organic, vintage-style varnished maple side panels, the Auteur\u00a0DT is sturdily built for comfort, usability, and lasting performance \u2014 while also looking like it should cost about twice what it does. Of course, it\u2019s what\u2019s on the inside that counts \u2014 and Auteur\u00a0DT features a robust USA-made transformer and cherry-picked Nichicon and Vishay capacitors, ensuring premium sound quality, long life, and low noise.<\/p>\n
