Black Lion Audio Revolution 6x6 USB Interface

Full Description

High-quality audio conversion for professional sound

The Revolution 6x6 is designed with high-end components to provide ultra-clear audio conversion. Its premium capacitors and optimised gain-staging ensure a high signal-to-noise ratio, capturing every detail of your recordings. Perfect for tracking vocals, instruments, or line-level sources, the interface delivers balanced, transparent sound.

Beyond recording, its high-quality digital-to-analog conversion enhances playback, making it an excellent choice for mixing and mastering. With Black Lion Audio’s experience in boutique modifications, the Revolution 6x6 is engineered to compete with high-end interfaces, giving you professional results in a compact, bus-powered unit.

Standalone mode for DAC and ADC functionality

The Revolution 6x6 isn’t just a USB interface; it also operates as a standalone digital-to-analog (DAC) and analog-to-digital (ADC) converter. With a press of the “Standalone” button, it functions without a computer, making it ideal for external recording setups, hi-fi playback, and expanding your studio’s capabilities.

Connect it to media players via S/PDIF for high-fidelity audio or use it as an external ADC for recording hardware synths, MPCs, and guitar processors. The built-in word clock sync ensures precise timing across all connected devices, preventing phase distortion and improving overall sound quality.

USB On-The-Go for mobile recording and streaming

USB On-The-Go (OTG) support allows the Revolution 6x6 to connect directly to mobile devices, offering 2-in, 2-out audio for recording and streaming on the go. This feature is perfect for content creators, livestreamers, and musicians who want to record or broadcast from a smartphone or tablet.

Use OTG to sample audio from your phone into your DAW or send audio from your laptop to your mobile device for live streaming. The interface can also handle two USB devices simultaneously, making it a versatile tool for modern workflows.

Precise clocking for ultra-low jitter

The Revolution 6x6 features Black Lion Audio’s Macro-MMC clocking technology, developed from years of experience designing dedicated word clocks. This advanced clocking system reduces jitter, improves phase accuracy, and enhances the overall fidelity of your recordings and playback.

With BNC word clock connections, the Revolution 6x6 ensures all connected devices stay perfectly synchronised. This is especially beneficial for studios integrating multiple digital audio devices, preventing timing errors and maintaining pristine sound quality.

Comprehensive software suite included

The Revolution 6x6 comes with a full software package to get you started right away. Studio One Artist provides a complete DAW environment for recording and mixing, while premium plugins from Izotope, Brainworx, Lindell, and Psychic Modulation offer powerful tools for processing and mastering. With professional-grade software and world-class hardware, the Revolution 6x6 is a versatile solution for anyone looking to elevate their audio production.
