Mic Booster Ct 1

Excellent product, used on a Samson Q2U which due to the terrible drivers in windows, considerably lowers the microphone's input volume and this product easily resolved that problem adding further decibel range. Now using the SM7B and the combination is performing well with plenty room left in gain via the audio interface module. This is a very good alternative to the cloudlifter. It did introduce white noise via the Shure mic but it's easily eliminated in EQuing without any tonal manipulation. Really good product, plug and play not headaches attached.

The little mic amp arrived well packed and I plugged it in straight away. I have some 1950s Film Industries M8 ribbon mikes, that work well with old analogue, valve equipment and a transistor Nagra recorder. However with modern audio equipment more gain is required. This little gizmo does the trick, lifting the signal by around 20dB whilst offering a compatible impedance for the mike. It operates from the +48v phantom power from the interface/mixer, but does not pass this through to the mike. This is important for older instruments. I did hatch up an battery powered op-amp lifter, but was disappointed by the noise. The Klark Teknik C1 has a low noise floor (I assume due to its use of FET semiconductors) whilst rendering mellifluous tones from my venerable old ribbon microphones. I have no hesitation in recommending this item to anyone requiring a boost to a mike signal.

Buying the cheap option was definitely a false economy. The fittings are so bad, the male end won't click into place in the xlr cable, and the female end jams into the mic so firmly you struggle to remove it. I fear for my gear by putting this thing near them and am returning asap.

Prior to this purchase I was running my Shure SM58-LC though a Behringer X1622USB mixer connected to a Focusrite Clarett 4Pre USB. I wanted to minimise my desktop clutter and free up some space. This little beauty works without issue and the difference is noticeable immediately with it's clean sounding boost and allowed me to cut the mixer out of the loop. Worth every penny!

It arrived today, and I immediately did an a/b with and without using a range of dynamic microphones I have lying around. I record a weekly sermon podcast and I've been struggling to get the sound just right - always needing the gain to be really high on the usb interface just to get a sufficient signal. This booster has totally resolved this - my gain is now just under 12 o'clock where it was previously pushing 4 o'clock, and the channel volume is likewise dropped down from max to around halfway. It's clean and clear - hasn't introduced any unwanted noise in the chain. What more could you ask for, especially considering it's under £20. Even using cheaper microphones, such as the AKG D5 and Behringer XM8500, it's made a significant difference in both volume and 'weighty-ness' of audio quality. Delighted.

Only takes 15 seconds to setup (plug it into your mic, plug xlr into the booster, then turn on 48V phantom power) and it irons out dynamic mics problems of being too quiet at times - currently using this with my podmic

I use a Rodecaster for my home studio but needed some more gain on my SM7B Shure Mic .For £24 this works perfectly .Genuine cloudlifters cost £125 .I tested both and could not hear any difference.Buy this and save £100

Dreadful product, forces me to use phantom power in my Shure SM7B and then makes an awful noise with my mic turned on. Cannot recommend.

Il marche à merveille. Même en rapprochant mon téléphone mobile à coté, je n'ai aucune interference.

Utilizzo il Booster con un RØDE Procaster e interfaccia Audient iD24, il risultato è esattamente quello che cercavo. Aggiunge un ottimo boost di segnale, permettendo di lavorare con molto meno gain sui preamp, senza colorare l'audio. Un altro aspetto molto positivo è che non tira su il rumore di fondo dei preamp, mantenendo il segnale pulito e controllato. Considerando le prestazioni offerte, anche il prezzo è decisamente un punto di forza.

I think years ago there was a distinct lack of options on the market that allowed for prices to be way over reasonable for such products. Thankfully this has changed now and we have a few cheaper options that do pretty much the same thing for half the price or more in some cases. I don’t use mine every day but I’m sure you could and they would be fine.

For the price it's unbeatable. I really can't tell a noise difference when recording.
