Black Lion Audio has premiered the Revolution 2×2, a bus-powered, portable computer 24-bit/192 kHz audio interface with an analog design. BLA knows a thing or two about audio interfaces, since they got their start hot modding MOTU’s offerings. It’s been a long time coming, but Black Lion has finally debuted their own audio interface.

Black Lion Audio put sound quality strictly in the forefront with the Revolution 2×2, employing new Macro-MMC clocking technology, based on its numerous clocking products and modifications. (See our Black Lion Audio MicroClock mkIII Review —Ed.) Macro- MMC’s circuit implementation claims to bring converters to new heights at this price point.

Revolution 2×2 is built with high-end ICs, including Vishay, Nichicon, and Wima capacitors. All internal gain-staging has been optimized for low signal-to-noise ratio. All of the analog I/O are also fully decoupled and balanced to the very core of the convertor, eliminating extra noise contamination during both capture and playback.

“Revolution 2×2 will begin shipping in February 2021 but initial supply will be constrained due to the shortage of the premium components chosen by our engineers for this interface,” reveals Black Lion Audio Chief Operations Officer Preston Whiting. “We could have subbed in alternative parts for the sake of speed but the sound would have been compromised and we refuse to do anything that negatively affects the experience of our customers or audio quality of our products.”
