Console vibe for your desktop.<\/b>
The AuteurDT is a versatile preamp\/DI box ready to suit all of your single-channel recording needs. Thanks to 60 dB of Chicago console-style gain and 1\/4 and XLR inputs, Auteur DT will accurately capture and enhance anything you throw at it: the crackling snap of a well-tuned snare or the thunder, resonance, and decay of a 70s acrylic kick drum getting hit hard. Add heat and texture to synths and mix-penetrating presence to vocals. Rest assured anything you plug into the AuteurDT will sound better coming out of it.<\/p>\n

AuteurDT exists to capture every bit of sweat equity that goes into your recordings… in fact, bringing out the fully polished potential of your final product is the inspiration for everything Black Lion Audio makes.<\/p>\n

More than just a preamp…<\/b>
Electric whatever: guitar, bass, baritone, or viola the AuteurDT doesnt care what you play: it cares how you sound. AuteurDT makes anything you plug into it sound weighty, detailed, harmonically rich, and above all clean. Theres simply not a better single-channel direct box in its price class… and certainly not one that doesnt look like it was component-sourced via a dumpster dive behind an antique radio museum. AuteurDT will dutifully respect every ingredient of your tonal recipe your technique, string gauge, fingerboard choice, and especially those pickups you paid too much for.<\/p>\n

Sublime quality inside and out.<\/b>
With a tough-as-nails brushed black aluminum chassis bookended by organic, vintage-style varnished maple side panels, the AuteurDT is sturdily built for comfort, usability, and lasting performance while also looking like it should cost about twice what it does. Of course, its whats on the inside that counts and AuteurDT features a robust USA-made transformer and cherry-picked Nichicon and Vishay capacitors, ensuring premium sound quality, long life, and low noise.<\/p>\n

The Black Lion difference.<\/b>
Before offering their own brand of unique audio design solutions, Black Lion Audio grew its reputation as Chicagos top audio mod-shop. Their years of experience spent elbow-deep in audio circuits goes into every Black Lion Audio offering: judicious component selection; robust build quality… and a heavy dose of Chicago-style hands-on, can-do, will-do attitude.<\/p>\n
