Black Lion Audio Auteur Preamp – No Longer Available

For one, the Black Lion Audio Auteur Preamp is a design that's somewhat unique in its approach.  It has a high speed input stage that will pick up lots of detail and nuance, and is followed by a high current output stage.  Circuit headroom is plentiful, and the input stage is very difficult to clip.  Because of its fully balanced design, it can handle input signals as large as +15dB with ease.

It also has a 600 ohm M-6 silicon steel output transformer to give the audio a thick quality that's reminiscent of a prized vintage preamp.  The preamp is dual channel and features phase, +48vdc phantom power, and 10dB output signal pad.
