The B12A MKII 500 packs the same punch as its 1⁄2 rack cousin, but in the convenient and flexible 500 series format. The API®-style design features a delicious Cinemag input transformer, serves up huge portions of low-noise gain, and has the same classic American rock sound that the original API® 312A is known for! Get ready to fill your lunchbox®, ‘cause once you go Black Lion Audio, you never go back!
The B12A MKII 500 is a single-channel, 500 series microphone preamp in the style of an API® 312A. It features a Cinemag input transformer, an Edcor output transformer, a Hi-Z input, phantom power, pad, and phase. Its plentiful, low-noise gain makes it easy to use with a wide range of microphones in live, broadcast, and studio environments. Its ultra-punchy, detailed Hi-Z input is perfect for capturing keyboards, synthesizers, and drum machines. It’s the ideal companion to pillowy, fat sounds, and will liven up a mix with an undeniable energy!
