Reviews

Solid Interface at a great price
I've had a few higher price interfaces with lots of bells and whistles and marketing nonsense that I never used. This unit sounds great, has all the features I need and is simple to use. No software needed, no apps needed, just plug in and hit record! Thanks Black Lion

Far beyond my expectations...
I have been looking to upgrade my interface for a long time. I was ready to go with either the Audient ID24 or the Clarett 2+. I happened upon an article about Black Lion and decided I would try it—the logic being that they upgrade many other manufacturers' high-end converters, interfaces, and mic pres.

My main concern was the sound. I don't need a lot of I/O, just quality sound.

Oh my. Wow. I am amazed at how this performs. The mic pres are so rich, focused, and smooth. The headphone amp alone is worth the cost of the unit—it is balanced and has plenty of gain for my Sennheiser 650s. The D/A converters are so accurate and natural. Every instrument is naturally placed in the sound stage, and the lead vocal is front and center.

I am a bit shocked at one YouTube reviewer who only quotes specs and claims it is noisy. This is ridiculous. In use, it is dead quiet. My sound is so much improved that I would have been glad to pay far more for this kind of quality.

I've been in the recording field for 50 years, and I am completely satisfied with this purchase. You will, too!

Favorite portable USB powered interface, ever.
I cannot say enough about how dang SICK the big Monitor volume knob pot is on this box. Holy crap it's so silky smooth and greasy it's hard to keep my finger off of it. Minute, small movements are audible in my monitor setup and I love the almost endless dynamic range. Say less about BLA converters. Unbelievable package at the price. I dare you to A/B with a sapphire.

Don't listen to German Pee Wee Herman
I've owned the revolution for about a month now and I am totally floored at being able to have a very legitimate quality converter, preamp and headphone amp for remote tracking and mixing work.

The fact is nothing touches the sound quality in this price point and it punches WAY beyond its price point as well.

This is coming from a protools HDX user with a black lion modified HD i/o 16x16 , which is pretty much as close to 2 " tape that I've ever come.

Real world experience speaking here,the revolution sounds fantastic and is built like a brick sh!t house. Great form factor and price.

Get it and make music and get to work

Don't lsten to the German Pee Wee Herman robot boy review on you tube, use your ears and you will agree, take my word for it.

Black Lion Quality at a Good Price
Works as expected, I am a long time Black Lion customer no.
I have 2 of their preamps and a micro clock as well as a modded motion done by them. Great Price as soon as I was aware they were making an interface I purchased it. I like their work! Sounds Great, Solid Build! You can't go wrong.
