The one and only Chris Lord-Alge stopped by our Black Lion Audio headquarters to chat with us about the Black Lion Audio Eighteen Channel Strip. He tells us about how the Eighteen reminds him of the vintage gear he cut his teeth on and how it can be the special sauce on your mixes. He even gives us some of his preferred settings. Tune in!
More about the Black Lion Audio Eighteen:
Eighteen’s preamplifier circuit isn’t just another clone, but an original design built to pay proper tribute to some of the most classic designs ever made. The Eighteen starts with a Cinemag input transformer, but that’s far from where the magic stops. In order to get the absolute perfect sound we were looking to achieve with Eighteen meant a bit more work under the hood. This is where our new BLA1831 custom, discrete op-amp comes into play. Through an extensive period of component matching, we were able to create a custom op-amp that matched the vibe we were aiming for, while still matching a noise floor that is akin to modern equipment. The preamplifier also features polarity inverse, 48V phantom power, an 80Hz high-pass filter, and a 10kHz low-pass filter.
