Grem Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Was looking around and came across this. Anyone has tried Black Lion Audio stuff? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Revolution2x2--black-lion-audio-revolution-2x2-2x2-usb-audio-interface?psnl=128&utm_content=grid1&utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20210122-namm-t1-giutar-bass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSMcGuitar Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Seems pretty badass. Wish it had more I/O though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Belled Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 All I remember is a couple guys I know spending BIG bucks doing a Black Lion Mod on their interfaces (Digi003 I believe) and it making ZERO difference as far as I'm concerned. It was hilarious..... R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simeon Amburgey Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Here is a link to a news article I posted on my site. https://praisetracks.com/black-lion-audio-revolutionizes-bus-powered-portable-audio-interface-market-with-its-first-studio-grade-desktop-model/ So this actually looks like Black Lion's version of the Antelope Audio ZEN GO interface as they have similar input/output specs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 And I still don’t have much confidence in the reliability of Antelope’s Zen interfaces, even though they look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only how good the drivers are out of the gate, but how often they are updated and for how long. I feel like this is almost the most important tech spec, but it is also the hardest to figure out with the various companies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Jones Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) No interface but I just got this https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/B173MK2--black-lion-audio-b173mk2-microphone-preamp-and-induction-eq Edited January 25, 2021 by Christian Jones Not from SW 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be standard info on all audio interfaces. @Christian Jones looks like an excellent addition to your toolbox. A couple of years ago someone said quit spending money on plugins and buy a good mic preamp. Well worth the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Drivers are being supplied by Thesycon - the provide drivers for some other manufactures (SSL I think?) but are definitely NOT RME standard ...maybe not even MOTU (IMO!) My only experience with BLA was 2 mod kits I bought right at the beginning of the company, probably over 15 years ago....They were to mod an Alesis 3630 - and they were pretty badly engineered - lots of incorrectly implemented choices (again IMO!) - Those compressors were not great to begin with and the mod kits didn't really help ...and in some circumstances made it worse. Was a very long time ago and I'm sure that the company has changed but I don't always believe that a 3rd party can improve upon a major manufacturer's RnD department. Edit - also BLA are one of those companies that talk 100% BS on digital clocking........Compare that to RME's opinons......so that sends a red flag to me, it says hype not science !
