Black Lion Audio Auteur DT Auteur Desk Top Mic Pre

Description

Console vibe for your desktop.
The Auteur DT is a versatile preamp/DI box ready to suit all of your single-channel recording needs. Thanks to 60 dB of Chicago console-style gain and 1/4 and XLR inputs, Auteur DT will accurately capture and enhance anything you throw at it: the crackling snap of a well-tuned snare or the thunder, resonance, and decay of a 70s acrylic kick drum getting hit hard. Add heat and texture to synths and mix-penetrating presence to vocals. Rest assured anything you plug into the Auteur DT will sound better coming out of it.

Auteur DT exists to capture every bit of sweat equity that goes into your recordings… in fact, bringing out the fully polished potential of your final product is the inspiration for everything Black Lion Audio makes.

More than just a preamp…
Electric whatever: guitar, bass, baritone, or viola the Auteur DT doesnt care what you play: it cares how you sound. Auteur DT makes anything you plug into it sound weighty, detailed, harmonically rich, and above all clean. Theres simply not a better single-channel direct box in its price class… and certainly not one that doesnt look like it was component-sourced via a dumpster dive behind an antique radio museum. Auteur DT will dutifully respect every ingredient of your tonal recipe your technique, string gauge, fingerboard choice, and especially those pickups you paid too much for.

Sublime quality inside and out.
With a tough-as-nails brushed black aluminum chassis bookended by organic, vintage-style varnished maple side panels, the Auteur DT is sturdily built for comfort, usability, and lasting performance while also looking like it should cost about twice what it does. Of course, its whats on the inside that counts and Auteur DT features a robust USA-made transformer and cherry-picked Nichicon components, ensuring premium sound quality, long life, and low noise.
