The American legend:

The B12A amplifier circuit from Black Lion Audio utilises the very special circuit topology of American preamps to congenially capture their extremely fast, clean transient reproduction. With the B12A mkIII, the manufacturer has now realised advantages such as extremely accurate circuit design, high-quality components and a consistent construction with two Cinemag transformers for the first time in a compact single-channel version. The elegant housing in 9.5-inch format has all the important controls such as gain control, 48V phantom power, phase swap and pad switch directly on the clearly laid out front panel. The high-precision rasterised input level control ensures perfect reproducibility of the settings. With the B12A mkIII, Black Lion Audio updates the genuine, unadulterated US sound without annoying artefacts.


Musical sound thanks to Cinemag transformers:

The sound of classic consoles was largely characterised by their special transformers, which offer an exceptionally musical reproduction. Nevertheless, many modern circuit designs do without these complex components for cost reasons. Black Lion Audio, originally specialised in repairing and improving classic studio technology, is aware of the importance of transformers in the signal path. With a clear focus on an uncompromisingly musical sound, only high-quality components were used in the development of the B12A mkIII preamplifier. The preamp is equipped with input and output transformers from the renowned US manufacturer Cinemag.


Equipped for all signals:

The preamplifier has an XLR input on the rear and a TRS jack socket directly on the front panel. This can be switched to high-impedance mode via a Hi-Z switch and thus offers DI functionality so that passive guitars and basses can also benefit from the rich, warm sound of the sound machines from Black Lion Audio. The signal is passed on to downstream equipment via a further balanced TRS jack socket. The preamp has massive amplification reserves of 70 dB and its circuit design has been optimised to further reduce the already low background noise. The B12A mkII has a pad switch for problem-free use with high-level signal sources. To effectively minimise interference from the mains supply, the device is equipped with a high-quality external power supply unit.

SE electronics DM2 T.N.T
Manufacturer:
The DM2 T.N.T is an active inline preamplifier based on the design of the sE DM1, but offering even more gain and less noise with greater flexibility. The integrated, recessed switch allows you to select a clean, transparent gain of a moderate 15 dB or an explosive 30 dB - more headroom and an extremely clean signal, with an ultra-high impedance input and eight selectable load settings to perfectly match any microphone. It is suitable for direct connection to the output of a passive ribbon or dynamic microphone, eliminating the need for an additional cable.Switchable, clean gain from a moderate 15 dB to an explosive 30 dB:Two amplifier stages provide even greater flexibility with different microphones, designed for neutral, balanced sound quality and extremely low noise. The uncompromising design amplifies the signal regardless of load impedance or cable length. The DM2 T.N.T can be perfectly combined with any passive microphone, boosts the signal, reduces the occurrence of interference and provides a significantly better level for the preamplifier of the audio interface / mixer - all without noise and colouration!Get the best out of the microphone thanks to the variable input load:Conventional inline preamps tend to load the transducers of passive microphones due to their electronic design, resulting in a degradation of sound quality and output level. The ultra-high impedance input of the DM2 T.N.T promises the best possible signal quality, regardless of the load of the microphone. The selectable impedance of the DM2 invites experimentation - it can be adjusted from an unconventionally low 50 to an astonishingly high 10 M to match the preamp to any microphone and achieve a clean recording with the lowest possible noise. The DM2 T.N.T was developed to bring out the best sound characteristics of each microphone.Sophisticated Class A electronics with additional output stage:With a sophisticated electronic design and specially selected high-quality FET transistors, the DM2 T.N.T has the lowest self-noise in its class and enables effortless studio-quality recordings. Unlike other commercially available inline preamplifiers, the DM2 T.N.T delivers a constant gain of +15 dB / +30 dB regardless of the connected load. An ideal tool for sound engineers, the DM2 T.N.T's output impedance is also the lowest in its class, allowing it to handle long cable runs with ease while reducing susceptibility to RF interference, hum and noise.Slim, robust all-metal housing with premium finish:Even in the most demanding environments, the DM2 T.N.T scores with a stage-ready and sleek all-metal design, robust construction, high-quality manufacturing standards and a gold-plated XLR connector for reliable lossless signal connection, whether on stage or in the studio. With its exceptionally practical, phantom-powered design that requires no external power supply, the sE DM2 T.N.T is the ultimate game changer in your pro audio arsenal.

SE electronics DM1 Dynamite
Manufacturer:
The DM1 DYNAMITE is an active inline preamplifier that is connected between a passive ribbon or dynamic microphone and a microphone preamplifier. The DM1 offers a gain of +28dB, making it the perfect solution for amplifying the signal of a passive microphone, reducing the occurrence of interference and significantly increasing the preamplification - without adding noise or colouration With a sophisticated Class A design and specially selected high-quality FET transistors, the DM1 has the lowest self-noise in its class. In addition, the dedicated output isolation amplifier offers a constant gain of 28 dB, regardless of the connected load. Its output impedance is also the lowest in its class, allowing it to run long cable runs while reducing susceptibility to RF interference, hum and noise.The roadworthy and slim all-metal design, robust construction and high manufacturing standards ensure reliable operation even in demanding applications on stage in difficult environments.
