<\/a><\/p>\nBlack Lion Audio has long since been revered as the \u2018king of audio mods\u2019 having modded countless audio interfaces over the years. Yet it has been asked when it would be creating its own audio interface from the outset. On the face of it, its opening gambit has been a long time in the making, having planned, engineered, and worked on it in secret \u2014 for years. Indeed, it takes time to truly revolutionise bus-powered, studio-grade audio interface design, and Revolution 2×2 represents the revolutionary result!<\/p>\n
Simply speaking, the most revolutionary thing to note about Revolution 2×2 is the quality of its sound \u2014 the top-tier sound of large, high-end converters costing thousands of dollars now being available in a hand-sized product that does not break the bank. Better still, Revolution 2×2 readily utilises Black Lion Audio\u2019s new Macro-MMC clocking technology, based on its numerous clocking products and modifications; Macro- MMC\u2019s circuit implementation brings converters to new heights \u2014 well beyond what has been witnessed with other audio interfaces anywhere near its class. Clearly with that in mind, the boutique audio company creator also assembled its finest AD\/DA (Analogue-Digital\/ Digital-Analogue) converter technology to provide Revolution 2×2 users with record-making power previously unobtainable in an audio interface that is so small and affordable.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Revolution 2×2 internally integrates Black Lion Audio\u2019s PG-i technology, based on its extensive experience in engineering its best-in-class power conditioners, with all power rails being highly filtered in every active stage \u2014 something not found even in the most well-respected, high-end products! Put it this way: with power being decoupled across all of Revolution 2×2\u2019s circuitry \u2014 preamps, converters, internal power supply, and even the clock, any noise contamination from other devices plugged into the audio interface itself is discernibly reduced.<\/p>\n
However, hi-fi digital design alone does not cut it; indeed, it takes serious analogue circuitry for facilitating the very best capture and playback of audio. As such, Revolution 2×2 is built with the most cutting-edge, high-end ICs (Integrated Circuits) with high-end Vishay, Nichicon, and Wima capacitors being used. Ultimately, all internal gain-staging has been optimised for the very lowest signal-to-noise ratio and all analogue I\/O connections have not only been built with the finest components but are also fully decoupled and balanced \u2014 right to the very core of the converter! Most manufacturers do not follow this practice, failing to prevent extra noise contamination during both audio capture and playback as a direct result.<\/p>\n Revolutionary audio interfaces need serious software to provide an adjunct to today\u2019s DAW-driven workflow. With its included Revolution Software Suite, Revolution 2×2 far from fails to deliver, starting with Studio One Artist \u2014 the cutting-edge DAW for all production needs from PreSonus. And as if that alone was not enough to be getting on with, Black Lion Audio has helpfully included select plug-ins from Brainworx (bx_digital \u2014 the hi-fi, mastering EQ of the future), iZotope (Elements \u2014 includes Nektar, Neutron, Ozone, and RX8, so everything needed to repair, mix, and master audio), and Plugin Alliance (Lindell Audio 6X-500 \u2014 hardware-modelled preamp and passive EQ).<\/p>\n It is fair to say, then, that Revolution 2×2 is not simply another run-of-the-mill audio interface from \u2018big brother\u2019 but rather it is the audio interface the world has always asked for \u2014 albeit a world still somewhat affected by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n \u201cRevolution 2×2 will begin shipping in February 2021 but initial supply will be constrained due to the shortage of the premium components chosen by our engineers for this interface.\u201d So states Black Lion Audio Chief Operations Officer Preston Whiting, before adding: \u201cWe could have subbed in alternative parts for the sake of speed but the sound would have been compromised and we refuse to do anything that negatively affects the experience of our customers or audio quality of our products.\u201d<\/p>\n Revolution 2×2 will begin shipping through Black Lion Audio\u2019s growing global network of dealers\/distributors (https:\/\/www.blacklionaudio.com\/dealers<\/a>) with a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) of $399.00 USD and an SSP (Suggested Selling Price) of \u20ac399.00 EUR (excluding VAT) in February.
