PREAMPLIFIERS ONYX OF QUALITY CUSTOM
High quality recordings invariably require the use of high quality preamplifiers, only the Blackbird offers for this award, with its Onyx preamps. We have invested heavily in research and development to create our famous Onyx mic preamps. Equipping our high-end mixing consoles, Onyx preamps are designed to meet or surpass the quality mic preamplifiers autonomous type Custom, in terms of fidelity, headroom and transparency. The rejection ratio to radio frequencies has also been improved and these preamps offer an ultra-wide dynamic range. Note that with a gain range of 60 dB available, our competitors are far behind.

CONVERSION AD / DA HIGH QUALITY
But quality does not stop our Onyx preamps high-end. The Onyx Blackjack uses Cirrus Logic® converters offering a dynamic range of 114 dB (A-weighted) - a feature for which other companies typically charge thousands of dollars. Our preamplifiers circuits are precisely aligned with the analog / digital conversion circuits, to offer you always the lowest possible highest headroom and background noise and distortion: These offer a significant noise advantage often Forgotten in competing interfaces.

RECORDINGS NOT LATER
Latency is an evil that must be avoided. If you have already registered with digital equipment, there is a good chance for you to understand why. Latency is a delay time caused by the treatment of the computer, which destroys all spontaneity in the studio. Blackjack gets rid of this problem once and for all through the use of a fully analog monitoring path, preamplifiers studios to plays and helmets. This means you can record while listening to the direct analog source without any routing. Not only that said, this means you can adjust the buffer settings to optimize processing on your computer, but the Blackjack also allows you to record with a time of zero latency in either mono to stereo. The spontaneity of musical creation remains intact when recording in stereo with instruments such as keyboards and acoustic guitars.
