Black Lion Audio B12AMK3 Microphone Preamp

Big-iron upgrades and more

More than just another 312A clone, the B12AMK3 combines vintage-inspired sonics and modern features in a rugged half-rack chassis with a smart feature set that will satisfy the most demanding audio engineers. A revised gain stage and lower noise floor deliver cleaner sound with lower distortion, while Cinemag input and output transformers keep things warm, creamy, and beefy, and a front panel DI imparts harmonic richness to guitars, basses, and synths. We dig the Black Lion B12AMK3. It’s an amazing value and sounds great. Mount one or two of them in your rack and get to work.

Excellent hot-mod preamp value
