Black Lion Audio B173 Quad Microphone Preamp
The B173 Quad is a four channel mic preamp version of the B173 mkII model. The preamp combines vintage-inspired sonics and modern features in a rugged 2RU chassis with a smart feature set that will satisfy the most demanding audio engineers. A revised gain stage and lower noise floor deliver cleaner sound with lower distortion, while CineMag input and output transformers keep sound warm and cream.
äTwo front-panel DI inputs allows connect to guitars, basses, and synths, while stepped input gain and variable output attenuation give you exacting control over transformer saturation. Per-channel metering displays how hot your output signal is hitting the parallel TRS/XLR outputs, while an external power supply keeps noise out of your tracks.
Number of Channels: 4
This product has four channels, giving you the flexibility to connect four audio sources at once. This configuration allows you to combine different instruments and effects, enriching your sonic expression and giving you more variability.
Rackmountable: Yes
Mounts in a standard rack. This design provides convenient installation and organization of equipment in the studio or on stage, saving space and facilitating access to controls.
Phantom Power: Yes
Phantom power provides the necessary voltage for condenser microphones that require an external power source to operate properly. This power supply is built directly into the microphone input, eliminating the need for additional power supplies.
