The Black Lion Audio Eighteen is a vintage‑inspired channel strip that brings boutique tone and precision control to your front end. Its microphone preamplifier features a Cinemag input transformer feeding two discrete BLA1831 op‑amps for rich, harmonically pleasing character with excellent headroom. With up to 65 dB of gain, switchable 48 V phantom power, and selectable mic/line input level, it adapts effortlessly to a wide range of sources. A polarity invert, switchable low‑pass at 80 Hz and high‑pass at 10 kHz, plus a passive programme EQ with Cinemag inductor deliver flexible tone‑shaping, with independent cut and boost for lows and highs and an EQ bypass for instant A/B. Operational refinement includes low‑noise circuitry, separate input and output level controls for gain staging, and a classic VU meter for output monitoring. Connectivity is via balanced XLR in/out, with an internal universal 115/230 VAC power supply. Housed in a rugged 2U, 19-inch chassis and weighing 4 kg, the Eighteen is built for professional environments. Ideal for studios, broadcast suites, and live rigs seeking musical analogue colour and control.
