Black Lion Audio Releases 500 Series B12A MKII Preamp

The API-style single channel microphone preamp features an upgraded input transformer, higher gain, and lower noise than the original B12A.

Black Lion Audio announces the release of the B12A MKII 500, an API-style single channel microphone preamp just like the popular B12A MKII ½ rack unit, but in the convenient and flexible 500 series format.

All Black Lion Audio products are designed and manufactured in Chicago, Illinois.

Already known for the API American rock sound, the MKII version features an upgraded input transformer, higher gain, and lower noise than the original B12A.

It also features an output transformer, a Hi-Z input, phantom power, pad, and phase.

“The original B12A was very popular, but we were continually being asked by customers to modify them for more gain,” commented Nate Bierdeman, director of marketing for Black Lion Audio.

“So we created the MKII with higher gain and lower noise. This revision also gave us the opportunity to integrate a nicer input transformer, and has resulted in an incredible-sounding preamp with lots of API-style gain. Now it’s available in the popular 500 series format.”

The B12A MKII 500 is available at Black Lion Audio dealers worldwide immediately for a MAP of US $599
