The Black Lion Audio Story
If any company understands the difference between good recording gear and amazing recording gear, it's Black Lion Audio. It all started in 2006, when a small group of creative engineers in Chicago who'd been modifying high-end recording gear decided to set up shop. The result was Black Lion Audio, and they've been raising the standard of studio sound quality ever since.
From LA to NY and Nashville, major record labels and engineers with Grammy Awards and Academy Awards under their belts all use Black Lion Audio modded gear. You'll find these mods in many of the top commercial media production houses too, while artists like Maroon 5, Metallica, George Strait, Beyonce, Rod Stewart, and many more swear by Black Lion Audio.
