Utilising high-end components, this solid state preamp is capable of tapping into vintage-style character, enhancing any signal you can process. Featuring both an XLR and a 1/4-inch input; the Black Lion Auteur DT allows you to process both microphones and instruments including electric guitars, bass, violas and more. It also features dedicated buttons for activating the Hi-Z instrument input, optimising the signal for processing by the Auteur DT. Whether you're processing vocals and micing up instruments such as drums; the preamp shines, providing vintage-style character combined with pure harmonic power.
No matter what you throw at it, the Auteur DT will enhance your sound with warmth and grit. The front-panel rotary control provides up to 60dB of gain with a Chicago-console-style design; allowing you to dial in your enhancement with precision. The front panel also features dedicated buttons for activating Phantom Power so you can use the preamp with studio-grade mics such as condensers. There is also a 'Phase Inverse' button for adjusting the input signal polarity and a 'Pad' button for reducing the input signal amplitude by 10dBu for added flexibility.
Matching its vintage character, the Auteur DT features a retro-style design, basing its design around classic gear found in studios in the late 70s and early 80s. The brushed aluminium chassis features a black finish with translucent maple side panels, providing a robust enclosure, keeping all the internal components protected from damage. You can also monitor your sound with instant visual feedback provided by the classic-style, backlit VU meters.
