Black Lion Audio B173 MKII
Meet the Black Lion Audio B173 MKII - the most portable 1073 British-sound around! The B173 MK2 uses the same Cinemag input and output transformers as the B173 Quad for a whopping 70dB of gain, a revamped gain stage, and a lower noise floor for cleaner, lower distortion sound. A front panel DI delivers a harmonically rich tone to guitars, keyboards, and synthesizers, and stepped input gain and variable output attenuation allow for perfect control over transformer saturation.
- 1-channel preamp with USA Cinemag input and output transformers
- Stepped gain control; variable output attenuator
- Front-panel DI, phantom power, polarity-reverse, hi-Z switch
- External power supply minimises noise
- Convenient, rugged half-rack chassis
