Take that show on the road Revolution Clock Mini delivers rock-solid clocking to keep all of your digital audio devices running in perfect sync over BNC. 44.1 kHz - 192 kHz sample rates are supported. And thanks to its small footprint, you’ll enjoy studio-caliber clocking anywhere and everywhere. It's ideal for touring acts that rely on digital equipment for live shows! With only 0.5pS RMS of jitter at the BNC outputs, your devices will be running in perfect sync, and your productions will sound their absolute best. Revolution Clock Mini can sync up to three devices over BNC. Once a system is set up and clocked correctly, many users observe a greater sense of space and depth thanks to more accurately-reproduced reverbs and stereo imaging. Some even notice elements of their mixes they didn’t even hear prior to synced clocking! Why clock? Short answer: For supreme audio fidelity when using multiple digital audio devices. Long answer: When running multiple digital audio devices simultaneously without clock sync, clocking jitter can result in smearing of the stereo field, and is particularly noticeable in transients and higher-frequency material like cymbals and lengthy reverb tails. It’s also worth noting that the effects of superior clocking are cumulative. Noise reduction and jitter may be hard to discern on a two-track recording of vocals and guitar. But if you record a 64-track production through poorly clocked hardware, all that noise and jitter begins to stack up! Patented Macro-MMC All Revolution clocks employ Black Lion Audio’s patented Macro-MMC technology, developed from years of experience in creating dedicated word clocks, as well as our interface modification service. Macro-MMC is a unique clocking technology that ensures low noise and minimal jitter, accomplished through strict component selection and proprietary methods of signal propagation. We start with a high quality oscillator (timing signal) and apply proprietary methods of signal transfer throughout the unit to keep the quality and accuracy intact all the way up to the output of the device. Set and forget Revolution Clock Mini is easy to set up. Simply connect your existing digital devices to the clock outputs (we recommend a 75 ohm purpose made BNC word clock cable) and set those devices to receive external clock. Use the sample rate and multiplier switches to choose your sampling rate. Done. MEMS Oscillators for superior stability While many popular clocking solutions use quartz crystal oscillators, we’ve chosen MEMs (Microelectromechanical systems) oscillators for Revolution Clock Mini. We choose MEMs after conducting a blind shootout with the traditional quartz crystal oscillators used in our XB clocks. The MEMS oscillators won in terms of subjective sound quality, but also won out objectively. Many clocks are oven stabilized for less sensitivity to temperature fluctuations; MEMs require no thermal solution for stability as their stability is less affected by temperature. Furthermore, MEMs oscillators enjoy greater shock resistance than quartz crystals. Fantastic price to performance ratio Revolution Clock Mini delivers low-jitter synchronization on par with clocks that can be extraordinarily expensive.

Can it crush? Shure it can. The original Shure Level-Loc of the 1960s was designed as a simple, affordable compressor\/limiter intended for speech reinforcement and leveling in live sound and broadcast applications and was quite successful at its intended purpose. As years rolled on, the original Level-Loc became an increasingly popular secret weapon of studio engineers due to its sledgehammer approach to compression while doubling as an optional saturation module. The heavy hand of the Level-Loc imparts some serious grind to anything you throw at it—it sounds particularly aggressive on a drum bus. Once word got out, prices of the Level-Loc skyrocketed on popular auction sites, and plug-in emulations predictably began to pop up. But now, thanks to a close collaboration with Shure, Black Lion Audio has brought the Level-Loc back to the masses with all the heavyweight slam of the original… without the auction site price tags or questionable reliability inherent in buying anything that was already in used condition sixty years ago. Vintage vibe, modern options. While the Shure Level-Loc had admittedly utilitarian beginnings as a simple tool for controlling audio levels, its accidental aggressive and colorful sonic fingerprint has been embraced in modern music production as a creative effect. We worked closely with Shure to keep everything that made the OG Level-Loc great; quirks and all—while adding modern conveniences and connectivity not found on the original: Mix control: get instant parallel compression, adjustable to taste. Combo jack input: Connect either line-level or mic-level signals without an adapter. ¼ TRS Output: We added a TRS jack while keeping the original’s XLR output and high\/low impedance options. Phantom power and pad: The original Level-Loc was intended for use with dynamic mics, but we’ve added a +48v power source and an A15LA 50 dB pad to our version for modern studios. Release mod: The original Level-Loc had a fixed release time; we’ve added fast\/slow release times to modernize our take on the classic. Crunch and grind. The Level-Loc’s compressor threshold is set by the “Distance Selector,” true to the device’s origins as a unit originally intended for public speaking. Pick your threshold and adjust the input level to apply heavy-handed compression; adjust the mix to taste for some instant parallel comp. This will really bring out the room tone of your drum sounds. The Level-Loc’s compression ratio is fixed, and heavy. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, try disabling the pad and sending the Level-Loc a line level signal and boost the line level to overdrive it a bit, then use the Mix knob to adjust the coloration to taste; you can get everything from subtle saturation to all-out distortion. You can even overdrive the input and compress simultaneously. When it’s time to bring some serious bite and grit to your productions, there’s simply not a better tool than the Level-Loc. Features Creative effects tool for heavy compression, saturation, and distortion. Modern re-imagining of the hard-to-find and expensive Shure Level-Loc, designed in close partnership with Shure Mix control for instant parallel compression Modern connectivity options include TRS and XLR Outputs and a Combo jack input, plus +48v for condenser mics; a pad, and a release time mod Product condition: New.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUSICTONER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50526997840035,"sku":"LEVELLOC","price":199.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/8299\/0499\/files\/black-lion-audio-pro-audio-outboard-gear-compressors-and-limiters-black-lion-audio-level-loc-classic-effect-compressor-saturation-module-black-lion-audio-level-loc-classic-effect-comp_d5b03070-b71f-4bca-9c9e-33f150b6a260.jpg?v=1790275451"},{"product_id":"elektron-analog-heat-fx-dynamic-sound-processor-1776053","title":"Elektron Analog Heat +FX Dynamic Sound Processor","description":"\u003cp\u003eMUSICTONER presents the Elektron Analog Heat +FX Dynamic Sound Processor.

Eight ways to boost your sound Glimpse into the sizzling hot condensers, diodes, and other neat things that do their very best to squeeze, crunch, pump, or distort your sound. The first four effects circuits offer clean and non-destructive boosts. The next four provide increasingly aggressive signal-crunching. Clean boost: A high internal voltage boost, keeping the integrity and content of the signal Saturation : Warm tape-style saturation adds soft complexity to the signal peaks. Equalizer controls accentuate the effect subtly. Enhancement: Adds a tube-like glow to the signal while keeping it clear and defined. Equalizer controls introduce slight static at max settings. Mid-drive: A solid mid-range overdrive effect, keeping the overall signal peaks well defined. Rough crunch: A gritty circuit that squeezes and deforms the peaks to an expressive effect. Equalizers set to max emphasize the crunch. Classic dist : Trusty distortion of upper and mid-range frequencies. Equalizer settings can add impact to the distortion. Round fuzz: A warm, fuzzy distortion that adds fringes and complexity to the signal peaks in a charming manner. Equalizer extremes fuzz it up even more. High Gain : The most aggressive boost of all. Plenty of gain, great sustain. Extreme equalizer settings impact the sonic mayhem.

Condition: Item is subject to minor wear from demo. The product that started it all for Empirical Labs. Born of founder Dave Derr’s love of classic compressors like the 1176, LA-2A and Gain Brain (among others), the Distressor incorporates his favorite sonic characteristics of these, along with other unique and interesting features that have made it a staple for audio engineers all over the world. With over 28,000 units in the field, it’s safe to say that the Distressor is one of the best selling high end compressors of all time… if not THE best selling. A prominent recording engineer recently wagered that there probably was not a top 40 record made in the last five years that didn’t have at least one Distressor on it. Besides providing a wide range of control and a unique feature set, the Distressor offers a warm, vintage sound by using a custom designed gain control circuit. This “warmth” or “vintage sound” has become a major issue in the last few decades, as the super clear and linear digital technology does next to nothing to soften “harsh” sounds, nor emphasize the bass frequencies in music sources. Conversely, older analog tape, vinyl records and tube equipment could not be prevented from coloring the sound, often to the frustration of recording engineers. However, many people now realize that this coloring can be extremely pleasant and musical. Digital technology is often referred to as “cold” and “brittle” among other terms (although we prefer “unforgiving”). Unique Compression Curves All eight of the Distressor’s curves are unique and distinctive, from the 1:1 mode that simply warms up signal with low order harmonics without intentional compression, to the “Nuke” setting – a brick wall limiting curve that shines on live drum room mics. Each curve has its own personality and several actually use different circuitry, and are effectively different compressors. Most exceptional is the 10:1 “Opto” ratio which uses separate detector circuitry to emulate the oldest (and valued) “light controlled” devices, such as the LA-2A. Distortion (Color) Modes Another large part of the Distressor’s personality and power derive from three modes that color the signal, even without compression. These extended audio modes were designed to allow emulation of some very old and expensive vintage compressors \u0026amp; limiters, and let the Distressor deliver a classic “knee” sound all its own by providing user programmable, warm harmonic distortion. In addition to the basic distortion mode, Distort 2 emphasizes tube-like 2nd order harmonics, while in Distort 3 setting the distortion becomes dominated by 3rd harmonics more closely resembling tape. Two HP filters – one in the audio path, one in the detector path – are also available to help with low frequencies that can cause pumping and breathing. Frequency Response – 2 Hz to 160 kHz in clean audio mode (+0, -3 dB). Response is shaped in distortion modes (Dist 2, Dist 3). Dynamic Range – 110 dB from max. output to min. output in 1:1 mode. Greater than 100 dB signal to noise in distort 3 mode. Distortion – ranges between .02% and 20% depending on distortion mode and release times set on front panel. I\/O – DC Coupled input and outputs. Time Constants – Attack range 50uS – 50mS. Release range .05 sec to 3.5 seconds, normal modes and up to 20 seconds in 10:1 opto mode. Time constants are dependent on ratio. Power Consumption – 15 Watts Max. Metal Chassis – single height 1.75″ high, 10″ deep, 19″ wide. Shipping info – 12.1 lbs mono. Mono box dimensions 22.5″ x 18.5″ x 3 1\/4″.

Libby Dual Reverb Unit with gNarly Tube Overdrive The Libby is a handmade dual reverb unit designed for musicians who crave expressive, spacious, and dynamic ambient effects. Built for guitarists, synth players, and studio professionals alike, Libby breaks from the sea of \"same-old\" reverb units by offering a versatile dual-tank system, a unique reverb-source selector, and a harmonically rich tube overdrive—all in a format that integrates effortlessly into any workflow. Dual Reverb Tanks: Libby features two independent reverb tanks, allowing you to blend Bright \/ Short and Dark \/ Long decay characteristics. Each tank has its own output, but the signals are internally mixed and can be combined using a YPP-106 style Dual Mono TS (male) to Mono TS (female) cable. Bright \/ Short Reverb: This is the classic, familiar reverb tone for guitarists. Staying true to Marla's customer-first design philosophy, early feedback and sneak-peek demos led to this circuit being “always on.” A 3-spring tank delivers a punchy splash with an immediate, slap-back character. Dark \/ Long Reverb: A spacious, atmospheric option that reaches deeper into the midrange for a lush, immersive decay. This tank is also tied to a footswitch jack on the rear panel. Engaging the footswitch transforms it into a lead boost with ambient decay—a nod to the iconic Golden Cello overdrive-with-delay effect. Want the opposite configuration—Bright with long decay and Dark with short? Simply swap the tank outputs. Libby is designed to let you tailor the experience. gNarly Tube Overdrive Libby's signal path pushes into a thick, harmonically rich tube overdrive. Players can roll back the gain for a smooth, buttery texture or turn it up for a fuzzy, aggressive voice with defined transient attack. Producers will appreciate the tactile, real-time controllability of this overdrive, perfect for hands-on studio workflows. A footswitch jack is included on the direct signal output, giving performers seamless control during live sets or tracking sessions. Reverb Source Select – Four Unique Voicings This proprietary function allows players to choose the source feeding the reverb driver, creating four distinct reverb personalities: Ground: No signal is driven to the tank—only mechanical vibration and stage resonance feed the reverb. Perfect for experimental, ambient noise textures. High Pass: Only high-frequency content from the fourth source (Overdriven Reverb) is fed into the tank, producing a shimmering, bright splash. While not an octave-up shimmer, it offers a similarly ethereal flavor ideal for studio layering. Standard: The most traditional reverb path, sourcing from the first gain stage and delivering the familiar, baseline tone most players expect. A great default setting. OverDriven: A truly unique mode that feeds the reverb tank after the Gain control—meaning your reverb is literally saturated with tube overdrive. Both the Gain knob and the footswitch affect this voicing, unlocking entirely new ambient textures.

Use the analog XLR outs to connect to your mixer, or take advantage of the ADAT connections to add eight channels of Auteur preamps to your existing audio interface. You also get eight insert connections via DB25 for integrating hardware processors; switchable from the front panel so you can easily A\/B test your processing when using the ADAT outputs! These connections double as mults, allowing you to split your signal across multiple modules for parallel processing or even mid-side. You also get eight-stage metering on all channels. Shocking clocking. Auteur 8DAT supports all popular sample rates up to 192 kHz, and you can rest assured that your connected devices will run in perfect sync with the Auteur 8DAT thanks to our patented Macro-MMC clocking. Macro-MMC was developed from our experience creating dedicated word clocks, as well as modifying many embedded clocks found in other recording interfaces. You’ll get the best possible performance from its converters, and anything you connect via the BNC connections will benefit from maximum sync and ultra-low jitter; minimizing the phase distortions that can muddy your high-end and dull your transients. At Black Lion Audio, we’ve been hot-rodding audio interfaces for a long time now, and have learned a thing or two about converters. The Auteur 8DAT includes the same crystal-clear converters made famous by our Revolution interfaces for maximum signal integrity and low noise. We recommend that you confidently sync your entire rig with the Auteur 8DAT’s Macro-MMC Clock. But if you’ve already invested in a clock you like, that’s fine — the Auteur 8DAT graciously accepts clock input. Built from experience for I\/O you can trust. We’ve put everything we’ve learned about audio hardware from years of boutique modding into the Auteur 8DAT. As we like to say, it’s modded out of the box for crystal-clear audio that will move you and your fans. Highly-filtered power rails work with full-circuit power decoupling to further reduce noise contamination. And for the best possible capture and playback, Auteur 8DAT sports over two dozen high-end, hard-to-get Vishay, Wima, and Nichicon capacitors and thin film resistors. (A component-sourcing nightmare but an audiophile’s dream!) All internal gain-staging is optimized for the best signal-to-noise ratio. Last but not least, all analog I\/O is fully decoupled and balanced — right to the very core of the converter — for even further noise reduction. The Auteur 8DAT is built Black Lion-tough, with black-anodized aluminum faceplates that make for a matched and sophisticated look. It’s right at home in-studio or on the road.
