Expand your studio with more I/O
The Revolution EXP is a game-changer for producers and engineers needing more inputs and outputs. It adds 16 analog TRS connections (8-in, 8-out) and 16 ADAT channels (8-in, 8-out) to any ADAT-compatible interface, making it easy to connect external hardware such as compressors, reverbs, preamps, or summing mixers.
Ideal for recording a full drum kit, integrating outboard gear, or setting up a multi-speaker array for immersive mixing; this expander makes it simple. The -10 dB pads on the inputs help handle hotter signals, giving you full control over your gain staging. With Revolution EXP, expanding your setup doesn’t mean compromising on quality.
Superior clocking for pristine audio
Black Lion Audio is known for its high-end clocking technology, and the Revolution EXP is no exception. It features the company’s Macro MMC clocking, which reduces jitter to an ultra-low level. This improves overall clarity, particularly in the high frequencies, ensuring your recordings and mixes sound as clean and detailed as possible.
The Revolution EXP supports sample rates up to 192 kHz, making it a strong choice for professional studio environments. It can function as the primary word clock for your entire setup or sync with an external master clock for seamless integration. If you demand precision in your digital audio workflow, this unit delivers.
Built for professional use
Designed for long-term reliability, the Revolution EXP features a rugged metal chassis that can handle the demands of studio and live environments. It includes bright eight-stage LED metering for each input and output, allowing quick and accurate level checks at a glance.
Inside, boutique components from Nichicon, Vishay, and Wima ensure the highest possible signal quality with minimal noise. This means you get a cleaner, more transparent sound, making it ideal for critical recording and mixing applications.
Versatile integration for any setup
Beyond simply expanding I/O, the Revolution EXP opens up new creative possibilities. Use it to record multi-channel synth performances, integrate external effects into your DAW workflow, or connect multiple hardware processors without constant re-patching. For engineers working in immersive audio, the eight outputs can be used to route signals to multiple speakers for Dolby Atmos mixing. The unit’s USB-C connection also ensures future firmware updates, keeping your setup up to date with the latest technology. Whatever your workflow, the Revolution EXP adapts to your needs.
