    Black Lion Audio Auteur Quad 4-Channel Microphone Preamp Mic Pre
    Black Lion Audio Auteur Quad 4-Channel Microphone Preamp Mic Pre
    *FULL Black Lion Audio WARRANTY!*
    The Auteur Quad is the four channel version rack mount of our ever popular Auteur MK2 preamp. The Auteur preamp has become a studio staple over the last decade and is know for its fast, transparent IC based front end while also providing a fat, colorful back end via edcor transformers. This mixture of vintage and modern design approaches has led the Auteur to be known as the “Swiss army knife of preamps” that sounds great on everything. It especially shines on sources that require detail but also benefit from some thickness such as drums or vocals. Some of the major additions to the Quad over the 2 channel half rack unit would be the all new meters on all four channels as well as borrowing the loved DI circuit from our 500 series Auteur on the first 2 channels. This feature set as well as channel count gives you one of the most affordable preamps in the world at an unbelievable price.

    We strive to insure every item we ship is very well packaged to protect as much
    as is possible against any damage that may occur in transit.
    This may be reflected in our flat rate for all shipments within the U.S.,
    and especially so for all International shipments.
    *FREE SHIPPING APPLIES TO ORDERS SENT
    ONLY WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.
    (excludes Alaska and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands);

    International Insurance via USPS:
    For some countries USPS only allows us to insure up to a certain dollar amount per package. EXAMPLE: To France via either USPS Service noted above they will only insure up to 0 USD. Which means IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THE ITEM ONCE SHIPPED THIS IS ALL USPS WILL REIMBURSE FOR! If the item/s you are purchasing are valued above this amount, buyer must accept and fully understand this limitation. (* If this is not acceptable, we are happy to ship via another service that does not impose these regulations - for example: FED EX/ UPS - but there will be additional cost to buyer.)
