With its Revolution 2x2 USB-C audio interface, Black Lion Audio brings a breath of fresh air to the home recording sector and delivers features that are otherwise not found in the mid-price segment - or only in larger converter systems. The company made a name for itself by modifying microphone preamps, digital-to-analog converters and signal processors and is now presenting the first in-house USB interface to incorporate all this experience into its development. Benefit from excellent components, consistent decoupling of the analog part of the AD/DA converters, the in-house, extremely precise Macro-MMC clock and integrated PG-I current cleaning. This sets standards in terms of sound integrity and freedom from background noise far beyond the class of the interface. Both microphones and instruments (Hi-Z for electric guitars) can be connected and amplified via the two combo sockets, while the rear panel offers a stereo monitor output in addition to the SPDIF I/O. There are also VU meters with eight segments, a headphone output with high-fidelity amplifier and the mono button, which sums the inputs to mono. Thanks to the mix control, you can seamlessly switch between input and playback signal - and all this is packed into a robust little housing for at home or on the go.

But that's not all: a software package consisting of Studio One Artist, the iZotope Elements Suite and the BrainWorx BX Digital and Lindell 6X500 plug-ins is available so that you can start recording and editing straight away. And if there is no USB-C socket on the computer, a USB-C to USB-A cable is conveniently included.
