<\/a><\/p>\nAs a class-compliant, bus-powered USB audio interface with industry-leading signal quality, Black Lion Audio has put everything it has learned about interfaces from years of boutique modding into Revolution 6×6. Indeed, it is \u2018modded out of the box\u2019 \u2014 as the boutique audio company in question is keen on saying \u2014 so crystal-clear audio that will musically move both users and listeners alike is a given. Get this, though: there is some seriously rarefied tech going on under its hood, including Macro-MMC (Master Music Clock) based on Black Lion Audio\u2019s hallowed history of creating dedicated master word clocks, as well as modifying many embedded clocks found in other recording interfaces; it not only ensures the best possible performance from Revolution 6×6\u2019s converters, but also allows for external gear connectivity via WORD CLOCK INPUT and OUTPUT on BNC for maximum sync and ultra-low jitter \u2014 albeit any devices synced via Macro-MMC are communicating as accurately as possible to minimise the phase distortions that can muddy the high-end and negatively affect transients. The upshot of this technology is reduced jitter and enhanced harmonics for a glossy, airy top-end that would otherwise remain unheard in lesser interfaces.<\/p>\n
Proprietary PG-1 filtering technology that is based on Black Lion Audio\u2019s experience in engineering \u2018best-in-class\u2019 power conditioners is deployed on Revolution 6×6, while it also features highly-filtered power rails in every active stage \u2014 something that is not even found in the most well-respected, high- end equipment. All are working in perfect harmony with full-circuit power decoupling across the entire circuit \u2014 convertors, internal power, preamps, and even the clock itself \u2014 to further reduce noise contamination.<\/p>\n Capture and playback are optimised, too, thanks to Revolution 6×6 sporting the most cutting-edge ICs (Integrated Circuits) alongside high-end Vishay, Nichicon, and Wima capacitors throughout, with all internal gain-staging also optimised for the best possible signal-to-noise ratio. All analogue I\/O is fully decoupled and balanced \u2014 right to the very core of the convertor! Simply said, Black Lion Audio\u2019s finest A\/D (Analogue-to-Digital) and D\/A (Digital-to- Analogue) technology implemented in Revolution 6×6 provides its users with record-making power, the likes of which has hitherto been unavailable in such a small, portable, and affordable interface.<\/p>\n Indeed, the recording revolution continues with Revolution 6×6 packing a lot of easily accessible bang for the buck into its diminutive dimensions \u2014 think two front panel-positioned high-headroom mic preamps (CHANNEL 1 and CHANNEL 2) with instrument input alongside an eight-segment VU LEVEL meter for real-time monitoring; main output (MONITOR) gain knob; direct input\/mono summing (MONO HP); INPUT\/PLAYBACK mix knob for real-time performance monitoring; and HP1 and HP2 high-fidelity headphone amplifier connections, while connectivity continues on the rear panel with decoupled main analogue outputs (RIGHT and LEFT MONITOR OUT) for superior monitoring quality; world-class WORD CLOCK; high-end S\/PDIF INPUT and OUTPUT with embedded clock signal; USB OTG (On-The-Go) for two-input, two-output connectivity with Android and Apple mobile devices \u2014 perfect for livestreamers and mobile musicians who record to or stream from phones and tablets; and low-latency USB TO COMPUTER with bus power (also allowing two USB devices to be simultaneously connected to Revolution 6×6 and send audio to\/from either).<\/p>\n It is well worth mentioning here, then, that not every task necessarily needs a computer, which is why Revolution 6×6\u2019s DAC, word clock, and D\/A conversion features can all be used without a computer; clearly it is simply a case of pressing the button marked STAND-ALONE (HOLD TO ENGAGE) \u2014 hook up a media player via S\/PDIF to enjoy good old-fashioned hi-fi listening with good \u2018new-fashioned\u2019 hi-fi conversion, or connect Revolution 2×2 to a computer over USB to bypass questionable laptop converters, for example.<\/p>\n And as if all that was not enough to whet anyone\u2019s recording appetite, all the tools they need to start creating are bundled with Revolution 6×6 as the Revolution Software Suite, starting with Presonus\u2019 award-winning Studio One Artist recording and sequencing DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), with selected plug-ins from Izotope \u2014 Elements Suite (comprising Nectar, Neutron, Ozone, and RX for tone-shaping, mastering, and repair); Psychic Modulation \u2014 EchoMelt3 (BPM-based modulation and echo); Brainworx Audio \u2014 bx-digital (mid-side EQ with filter and de-ess options); and Lindell Audio \u2014 6X500 (colourful preamp model with two-band EQ).<\/p>\n Either way, it is apparent that Black Lion Audio\u2019s Revolution 6×6 is, indeed, a truly high-end, portable recording interface, one which is irrefutably worthy of taking that respected Revolution nomenclature to even higher heights!<\/p>\n Revolution 6×6 should start 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 $549.00 USD and an SSP (Suggested Selling Price) of \u20ac699.00 EUR (including VAT) towards the end of October 2023.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
