An active built-in preamplifier designed to sit between a passive ribbon or dynamic microphone and the following preamps in the signal chain. Key benefits - Improves mic output without changing the mic itself: +28 dB gain helps low-sensitivity mics deliver a stronger, clearer signal. - Reduces load-related issues: Class-A amplifier circuit with a high-order MP5+ transistor provides lower output impedance and stronger load capacity for better drive. - Simple, reliable setup: plug-and-play—just insert the microphone enhancer into the microphone’s XLR output path. - Low noise performance: the amplifier is designed to keep noise to a minimum while boosting signal. Compatibility and performance - Compatible with passive ribbon and dynamic microphones, suitable for stage or studio use. - Inline design provides a compact, straightforward solution to improve mic performance without upgrading other gear. Use scenarios - Studio vocal or instrument recording with a dynamic mic that has low output, ensuring adequate level and clarity. - Recording with a ribbon microphone in a quiet studio environment where extra gain and low noise are required. - Live performance or broadcast setups where a passive mic needs reliable, clean gain before the main preamp. Function, compatibility, and efficiency - Function: active inline preamplifier that boosts mic signal before other preamps. - Compatibility: suitable for passive ribbon and dynamic microphones via XLR connection. - Performance: +28 dB gain with low-noise operation and strong load handling for better overall signal quality.
