The Black Lion Audio Auteur MKII 500 single-channel, 500 Series microphone preamplifier is for your 500 Series rack. Its ultrafast input stage and Edcor output transformer allow detailed and characterful capture of anything from vocals to drums. A front-panel 1/4" Hi-Z input makes the preamp equally ideal for electric instruments such as guitar, bass, and keyboards.

With up to 67 dB of gain available via a single knob, the Auteur MKII 500 can handle low-output ribbon mics, sensitive condensers, or standard dynamic mics. The switchable 13 dBu pad lets you easily avoid distortion when recording loud sources such as close-miked amps or instruments with active pickups. Switches are also provided for polarity and 48V phantom power.

Q: 1. Will this attach to a cage if I'm using, say, an A7sii?

A: I use this pan/tilt mount on my ronin-m and the cage I have for my camera. All you need is a hot or cold shoe adapter on your rig to attach it to. In my opinion, this pan/tilt mount is well worth the money, and provides the fastest and easiest way to adjust or position your on-camera monitor on your rig.

Q: 2. Do you have a product like this for a universal monitor application. Something that is not a strong arm, but delivers tilt functions for a monitor with a 1/4-20 on the bottom? Please advise.
