Manufacturer's description
The Revolution 6x6 is an all-purpose studio dynamo that can serve as a master clock, a standalone DAC, a master clock, and a 6-in, 6-out class-compliant USB interface with audio quality worthy of the Revolution name. Enjoy world-class clocking and low-noise conversion while tracking to the included Studio One Artist.
Use the USB OTG connection to sample audio from your phone or tablet… or send audio from your laptop to your mobile device and stream your performance live online. Sync your other hardware devices via our proprietary Macro-MMC clocking — all while treating your music with the highest audio quality imaginable.
Built from experience
Revolution 6x6 is a class-compliant, USB audio interface with industry-leading signal quality based on Black Lion’s years of experience in audio interface modification. Record anything via its balanced XLR, line-level, and instrument-level input options. Connect studio monitors or use its two plenty-loud, crystal-clear, mono-summable headphone outputs with direct monitoring mix control. Integrate external gear via the S/PDIF connection and USB OTG (On-the-go). Revolution 6x6 can be bus-powerable for portable use, or you can use the included 5v power supply for peak performance.
We’ve put everything we’ve learned about interfaces from years of boutique modding into the Revolution 6x6 — as we like to say, it’s modded out of the box — for crystal-clear audio that will move you and your fans. Boutique tech found in Revolution 6x6 includes the Macro-MMC clock for maximum converter quality, yielding reduced jitter and enhanced harmonics for a glossy, airy top-end you won’t hear in lesser interfaces.
Proprietary PG-i filtering technology and highly-filtered power rails work with full-circuit power decoupling to further reduce noise contamination. And for the best possible capture and playback, Revolution 6x6 sports over two dozen high-end, hard-to-get Vishay, Wima, and Nichicon capacitors and Melf film resistors. (A component-sourcing nightmare but an audiophile’s dream!) All internal gain-staging is optimized for the lowest 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.
This DAC stands alone
Not every studio task requires a computer. The Revolution 6x6’s DAC, word clock, and D/A conversion features can all be used without a computer; just press and hold the “Standalone” button. Hook up your media player via S/PDIF and enjoy good old-fashioned hi-fi listening with good new-fashioned hi-fi conversion, or add two additional output channels from another audio interface or digital mixer.
Many MPCs, synths, and guitar processors also have S/PDIF, which will often deliver better sound than using their onboard converters.
For recording, connect any guitar processor with a S/PDIF output and enjoy high-quality D/A conversion of your custom guitar tones. You can even connect Revolution 6x6 to your computer over USB for hi-fi listening by bypassing the questionable converters in your old laptop. Use S/PDIF to add two channels to an audio interface or digital mixer, all synchronized by the same master clock over BNC.
As a standalone A/D converter, you’ll add two superior channels of Black Lion-converted audio over S/PDIF to your existing recording setup — and you won’t have to buy an ADAT expander.
Get mobile with USB On-The-Go
USB On-the-Go connectivity gives the Revolution 6x6 2-in, 2-out connectivity with Android and Apple mobile devices. It’s perfect for livestreamers and mobile musicians who record to or stream from phones and tablets. Connect two USB devices to the Revolution 6x6 simultaneously and send audio to and from either. Sample from your phone to your laptop, or livestream an iPad performance from your phone… the possibilities are endless!
Shocking clocking
The Macro-MMC (Master Music Clock) in Revolution 6x6 was developed from our experience creating dedicated word clocks, as well as modifying many embedded clocks found in other recording interfaces. Macro-MMC ensures the best possible performance from its converters, but also allows you to connect external gear via the BNC connections for maximum sync and ultra-low jitter — meaning any devices synced via Macro-MMC are communicating as accurately as possible to minimize the phase distortions that can muddy your high-end and dull your transients.
If you’ve already invested in a clock you like, that’s fine — the Revolution 6x6 graciously accepts clock in.
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD and Royal Mail for the UK, and for international orders it's either DPD, DHL, FedEx, UPS or Royal Mail depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday delivery
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Most orders are delivered within 3 to 5 working days if sent on a courier service. Royal Mail services can take a lot longer and are often less secure.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
