Black Lion Audio’s original B12A MKII was originally available in a half-rack housing. The new 500 series module will allow for more flexibility, catering to the portable rig, and those who like the sound of a high-gain API 321A preamp in a compact design.

API lunchbox, meet the BLA B12A MKII.
BLA’s B12A had a reputation for getting a classic API sound, but their MKII added an upgraded input transformer from CineMag, producing higher gain, and lower noise than the original. It also features an output transformer, Hi-Z input, phantom power, pad, polarity reverse and 70 dB of available gain.
The 500-Series B12A MKII is available now for $599 MSRP.
