Black Lion Audio Auteur Quad 4-Channel Microphone Preamplifier and DI

Because professional audio quality is paramount in recording and live performance settings, the Auteur Quad 4-Channel Microphone Preamplifier and DI stands out as an essential tool for audio engineers and musicians alike. This high-quality, rack-mountable preamp expands upon the legacy of the acclaimed Auteur MK2, offering a four-channel configuration that caters to the needs of complex recording sessions.

The Auteur Quad is renowned for its fast, transparent integrated circuit (IC) based front end, which ensures pristine audio capture with minimal coloration, making it ideal for capturing the true essence of any sound source. Simultaneously, it boasts a fat, colorful back end, courtesy of premium Edcor transformers. This harmonious blend of vintage warmth and modern clarity positions the Auteur Quad as the versatile "Swiss army knife of preamps," adept at enhancing a wide array of audio sources with both detail and a touch of harmonic richness.

Particularly effective for sources that demand crisp articulation while benefiting from added warmth - such as percussive elements and vocal tracks - the Auteur Quad excels in delivering a sound that is both polished and full-bodied. The unit's major advancements include newly integrated meters for precise visual monitoring on all four channels, ensuring optimal levels for recording and mixing.

Furthermore, the first two channels inherit the beloved direct input (DI) circuit from Black Lion Audio's 500 series Auteur, offering unmatched fidelity for instruments plugged directly into the preamp. This feature, combined with the expanded channel count, positions the Auteur Quad as one of the most cost-effective solutions in the market for those seeking professional-grade preamplification without compromise.

Crafted with durability and reliability in mind, the Auteur Quad is a testament to Black Lion Audio's commitment to producing high-quality audio equipment that meets the rigorous demands of both studio engineers and live performers. Whether you're recording a full drum kit, a choir, or multiple instrumentalists, the Auteur Quad provides the versatility and sonic integrity required to capture every nuance of your audio with exceptional clarity.
