Black Lion Audio Revolution 2x2 B-Stock

The compact, USB-powered Revolution 2x2 audio interface developed by the US manufacturer Black Lion Audio offers technical features and a high-quality sound that can otherwise only be found in more expensive products. The interface has a maximum resolution of 24 bit/192kHz and also features the extremely precise, proprietary Macro MMC clock for accurate AD/DA conversion. What is more, the Revolution 2x2 is equipped with PG-i technology, which filters out adverse influences via the USB power supply. In addition to two jack/XLR combo inputs, it offers two balanced monitor outputs in 6.3mm jack format, as well as a headphone output that can be adjusted separately. Also included in the scope of delivery are an extensive software package and two USB cables.

The Black Lion Audio Revolution 2x2 has two jack/XLR combo inputs, both of which can also be used as instrument inputs (Hi-Z), while phantom power (+48V) can be switched on for both inputs globally. The unit is also equipped with a so-called direct control, which can be used to mix the inputs and monitor without latency. However, the mono button is not intended for mono summing of the monitor outputs, but applies exclusively to the direct monitoring. This means that if the mono button is deactivated and the control is set all the way to the left, the input signals are played back on the left and right. When activated, the mono button ensures that the input signals are played back in the centre, as is preferable with a single-channel signal.

The portable Revolution 2x2 delivers a compelling performance that allows users to record high-quality audio tracks. While some competitors offer more channels for the same price, the Revolution 2x2 provides a more transparent, detailed sound, which is mainly thanks to the superior components and the consistent decoupling of the AD/DA converters. This interface additionally features a sturdy design, which is a real advantage when it comes to recording while travelling. Musicians, singers, and producers who want to be on the safe side in terms of sound, both in their home studio and on the road, will find a suitable audio interface with the Revolution 2x2.
