Black Lion Revolution 2×2 USB Audio Interface

USB 2 Channel Portable Recording Interface – Modded Out Of The Box!
Revolution 2×2 is built with the most cutting edge, high-end ICs. High-end Vishay, Nichicon, and Wima capacitors are used throughout the entire circuit. All internal gain-staging has been optimized for the lowest noise floor. All of 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! Most manufacturers do not follow this practice, and that allows extra noise contamination during both capture and playback.

Black Lion Audio have been revered as the “king of audio mods” for years, and have modded countless recording interfaces over the years. But since the very beginning, we’ve been asked when we would create our own interface. So, we planned, engineered, and worked — all in secret, for years. It took an impressive amount of design to revolutionize bus-powered, studio-grade interfaces.

Now we are responding with Revolution 2×2: the ultimate in portable recording interfaces. Revolution isn’t another run-of-the-mill interface from big brother — it’s the interface the world has always asked for. Don’t just settle for the cheap and portable. Get an interface that can do more than just sketch out a demo… get one that can actually track a top-level record from start to finish.

THD + N @ 1 kHz @gain min (bandwidth 20 hz-20 kHz, un-weighted,  (input level -1 dBFS) = 0.00098%
SNR @ 1 kHz @gain min (bandwidth 20 hz-20 kHz, A-weighted, (input level 0 dBFS ) = 108.838 dB
Dynamic Range  @gain min(bandwidth 20 hz-20 kHz, A-weighted -level 0 dBFS) = 116dB (pre convertor)
Dynamic Range  @gain min(bandwidth 20 hz-20 kHz, A-weighted -level 0 dBFS) = 109.197dB

Instrument Input
Input Impedance = 1 MΩ
Gain Range = 55.7
Frequency Response =  +/-0.024 dB
THD + N = 0.00481%
Dynamic Range = 103 dB (pre converter)
Dynamic Range = 102.338 dB

Headphone Outputs
Output Impedance = 10 Ω
Maximum Signal Output = 2.252 Vrms
Frequency Response =  +/-0.114 dB

**Dynamic range is affected by our preference to tuning individual stages for tonality. We found that the best sounding parts in the output path weren’t necessarily the lowest noise components but they resulted in an optimal tone and signal purity that is instantly apparent to the listener. Electronic design is a game of compromise and we’re confident your ears will agree with our choices.
