Up to +25dB of Clean, Transparent Gain

Delivers a significant boost in microphone output without adding coloration, distortion, or noise—perfect for quiet sources and low-output mics.

Powered by Standard +48V Phantom Power

Operates via phantom power from your preamp or interface without requiring additional power supplies or batteries for convenience and reliability.

Does Not Pass Phantom Power to the Microphone

Ensures safety for sensitive ribbon and tube microphones by blocking phantom power from reaching the mic while still using it to operate.

Patented Class-A Discrete JFET Circuitry

Utilizes a unique Class-A signal path with no capacitors or resistors in the gain stage—preserving the purity and detail of your microphone’s sound.

Enhanced Microphone Sensitivity

Increases your microphone's ability to capture subtle details, nuances, and sonic depth—ideal for soft vocals, acoustic instruments, or ambient recordings.

Improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio
