Black Lion Audio Revolution 2x2 Audio Interface

Full Description

Superior sound quality with high-end components

The Revolution 2x2 is built using top-tier components to ensure premium audio performance. High-end Vishay, Nichicon, and Wima capacitors are used throughout the circuitry, helping to achieve a clean, noise-free signal. Internal gain-staging is optimised for the lowest possible signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring pristine audio capture and playback.

Unlike many other interfaces, the Revolution 2×2’s analog I/O is fully decoupled and balanced, reducing signal contamination and interference. This ensures that recorded audio retains its full depth and clarity, making it ideal for critical listening, mixing, and mastering.

Macro-MMC clocking for high-precision digital conversion

Black Lion Audio has integrated its Macro-MMC clocking technology, which is based on its renowned clocking products and modifications. This advanced clocking system improves digital conversion, delivering higher accuracy and sonic detail. As a result, the Revolution 2x2 provides the kind of high-end sound quality usually found in much more expensive interfaces.

By enhancing the performance of its A/D and D/A converters, the Macro-MMC technology ensures precise timing and minimal jitter. This results in a clearer stereo image, improved transient response, and an overall more natural sound.

PG-i power filtering for clean, noise-free operation

Power interference is a common issue in audio recording, often introducing unwanted noise into recordings. The Revolution 2x2 combats this with its PG-i power filtering technology. Inspired by Black Lion Audio’s best-in-class power conditioners, this system filters power at every active stage of the circuit, preventing interference from affecting audio quality.

This filtering extends across the entire unit, from the preamps to the converters and even the internal clock. The result is a dramatically reduced noise floor, allowing users to capture audio with exceptional clarity, even in environments with less-than-ideal power conditions.

Complete software suite for professional production

To complement its high-end hardware, the Revolution 2x2 comes with a comprehensive software suite. This includes PreSonus Studio One Artist, a powerful DAW for recording and mixing. Additionally, users get a selection of premium plugins, including Izotope Elements for audio repair, mixing, and mastering, Brainworx bx_digital for high-fidelity equalisation, and Lindell 6X500 for hardware-modelled preamp and EQ processing.

With this software bundle, users have everything they need to produce professional-quality music and audio projects right out of the box. From tracking and mixing to final mastering, the Revolution 2×2 provides a complete solution for any studio setup.
