Black Lion Audio B173 mkII British-Style Portable Preamps
Black Lion Audio has released the B173 mkII , a British-style ( 1073 ) portable preamp packed into a convenient half-rack-sized unit .
The B173 mkII uses the same Cinemag input and output transformers that are found in the company ’ s full-size B173 Quad mic preamp to deliver 70 dB of gain , alongside a revamped gain stage and a lower noise floor for a cleaner , lower distortion sound . Sonically , the front panel-positioned Hi-Z IN ( high impedance input ) brings a harmonically-rich tone to guitars , keyboards , and synthesizers while the stepped input 1073-style gain and variable output level attenuation knobs allow for control over transformer saturation . The 48 V phantom power and phase inverse controls round out the front panel with self-explanatory XLR in and TRS out connections in the back .
