From the company known for elevating other brands' gear to its full potential comes the Black Lion Audio Revolution 2x2, a desktop 2-channel USB-C audio interface purpose-built to provide the sonic performance of high-end equipment for musicians, producers, and songwriters on a low-end budget. Laden with premium Macro-MMC clocking, flagship 24-bit / 192 kHz converters, and top-grade analog components, this interface is made to hold its own against pro studio gear while the decoupled power circuit keeps noise away.

Thanks to its easy USB connectivity and bus powering, the Revolution 2x2 maintains pristine sound quality without compromising convenience. The Revolution's two mic preamps are accessible via XLR-1/4" combo jacks, which can handle mics of all kinds (dynamic, ribbon, or condenser), direct instrument connections, or even line-level sources. Adjustable direct monitoring lets you hear the input signal in real time without disruptive latency, and the 1/4" outputs—one headphone out and a pair of monitor outputs—feature independent volume controls for ideal monitoring through speakers, headphones, or both. Revolution 2x2  includes the Black Lion Audio Mixer with Simple and Advanced modes, giving you quick and easy access to your levels or complex routing options. In addition to its impressive hardware, the interface comes with a stellar bundle of software including the PreSonus Studio One Artist DAW and plug-ins from Brainworx, iZotope, and Lindell Audio.

After years of planning and engineering, the Revolution 2x2 is the first audio interface released by Black Lion Audio, a company revered for high-quality modifications of gear such as audio interfaces and monitor controllers. Get the sound quality of costly, high-end equipment in a portable and cost-effective unit.

The most revolutionary thing to note about Revolution 2x2 is it's sound quality: The sound of large, high-end converters that cost thousands of dollars is now available in a product that can fit in your hand and not break the bank. Revolution uses new Macro-MMC clocking technology, which is based on Black Lion Audio's numerous clocking products and modifications. Macro-MMC's circuit implementation brings converters to new heights, and Black Lion Audio assembled their finest AD/DA technology to give you immense record-making power.

Hi-fi digital design alone isn't enough to cut it; it takes a serious analog circuit for the very best capture and playback. Revolution 2x2 is built with the cutting-edge, high-end ICs. Top-shelf Vishay, Nichicon, and Wima capacitors are used throughout the entire circuit. All internal gain-staging has been optimized for the very lowest signal-to-noise ratio. All the analog I/O has not only been built with the finest components, but are fully decoupled and balanced, right to the very core of the convertor.

Revolution also employs PG-i technology, based on Black Lion Audio's experience in engineering their best-of-class power conditioners. All power rails are highly filtered in every active stage across Revolution 2x2, something difficult to find even in well-respected, high-end equipment. Power is decoupled across the entire circuit—the preamplifiers, the convertors, the internal power, and even the clock. This significantly helps reduce noise contamination from other equipment that is plugged into Revolution 2x2.
