Product code: BLAC012 | ID: 407355
Eighteen’s preamplifier circuit isn’t just another clone, but an original design built to pay proper tribute to some of the most classic designs ever made. The preamp starts with a vintageinspired preamplifier with Cinemag input transformer providing a creamy, yet punchy response and custom discrete op-amp BLA1831 whitch offers a noise floor that is akin to modern equipment.
It’s topped that off with a passive inductor-based program equalizer, a custom inductor created just for Eighteen by the Cinemag and outputs controls. The preamplifier also features polarity inverse, 48V phantom power, an 80Hz high-pass filter, and a 10kHz low-pass filter. Black Lion Audio Eighteen is designed, engineered, assembled and tested in the USA.
