A boutique mic preamp – four times over!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Auteur Quad2 is a four-channel rackmount edition of our lauded Auteur mic preamp. Auteur preamps are known for their fast, transparent, IC-based front-end while also providing a fat, colorful back-end via US-made Cinemag transformers. You get the snappy, transparent front-end of an American-style preamp with the option for the colorful output of a British-style.<\/p>\n

This hybrid implementation of vintage and modern designs makes Auteur astonishingly versatile. While it sounds great on everything, it particularly shines on sources that require detail but also benefit from some added weight, such as drums or vocals.<\/p>\n

Workhorse studio preamp features<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the Auteur Quad2, you\u2019ll track up to four inputs simultaneously. You get independent +48v on every input, as well as polarity reverse and a -10 dB pad. All channels have dedicated Instrument-level inputs on the front for DI recording, while the rear panel sports XLR inputs and XLR and TRS outs.<\/p>\n

The Auteur Quad2 has several improvements over the original. In addition to increased gain, you also get all-new analog VU meters, and all \u00bc\u201d inputs offer instrument- and line-level connections. The Auteur Quad2\u2019s combination of channel count, signal quality, and feature set makes it one of the best bang-for-your-buck preamps around.<\/p>\n

You may have heard of American- and British-style preamp designs\u2026 but what the heck is \u201cChicago-style?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChicago-style\u201d is Black Lion Audio marketing-speak for \u201cour own preamp design,\u201d because Black Lion Audio is in, and loves, Chicago.
