The Micpro team take a look at the Black Lion Audio B173 MKII British Style Mic Pre by Black, available in the Uk from a UK supplier & UK Warranty.

The Black Lion Audio B173 mkII delivers classic British-style tone in a compact, road-ready half-rack chassis. Inspired by the legendary 1073 preamps, the B173 mkII captures the warmth and musicality of vintage Class A circuitry with modern reliability and clarity. Boasting Cinemag input and output transformers, the same used in the B173 Quad, this single-channel preamp offers up to 70dB of gain, making it ideal for a wide range of microphones, from dynamic to ribbon. A newly designed gain stage provides lower distortion and a cleaner signal path, while the variable output attenuator allows you to dial in transformer saturation without overloading your converters. The front-panel DI input makes it perfect for bass, guitar, synths, and keyboards, delivering harmonically rich direct tones. With phantom power, polarity reverse, and Hi-Z switching, the B173 mkII is a feature-packed solution for anyone seeking classic analogue character in a portable format. Built to last and designed to perform, it’s a must-have for studios, producers, and engineers who crave classic tone with modern flexibility.
