We're proud to announce the arrival of our new Audio Precision SYS-2722. Audio Precision is an industry leader in audio testing technology, and we're happy to employ their flagship system for testing and development here at Black Lion Audio.

David Bazan's long-awaited new album, entitled "Curse Your Branches," was recorded with his own Black Lion modded 002R and Auteur micpre, and mastered using a Lavry Blue clocked by T.W. Walsh's Micro Clock mk2! Rave reviews of this "expensive-sounding" production have been cited in the Chicago Reader and the Los Angeles Times.
(And even by the music snobs here at BLA, "....This album's great!!")

Steve Winwood is now using our Micro Clock mk2 in concert! You'll be able to hear it on the European leg of his current tour.

The Donnas have finished recording their new album using our very own Auteur Preamp! There's no question that these gals rock, and fans should be prepared for some shredding tunes recorded with unique clarity, definition and... well, balls!

"No discerning studio owner should be without Black Lion Audio's new line of pro audio tools. My external MICRO CLOCK, and SPARROW, A/D stereo converter, stay on all the time in my studio rack. An upscale sound with a great price tag."

-George Landress (No Doubt, Jon B., Chaka Khan, Jane's Addiction, Art Garfunkel, Robert Fripp, Laura Nyro)
