The McBoost is a microphone signal booster designed to elevate the output of a dynamic or ribbon microphone for greater transparency and clarity, and provide enough clean gain to connect to any preamp.
The Radial McBoost provides clean gain at the source for low-output dynamic and ribbon microphones, driving long cable runs with ease and allowing you to connect to any preamp as if it were a high-gain ribbon mic pre. Simply connect the McBoost in-line using standard XLR cables and activate 48V phantom to provide power, then select between three impedance settings to optimize the response from the microphone. The McBoost will elevate the output to produce added clarity, excitement and extra drive for long cables whether you are in a recording studio, on a live concert stage, or in a broadcast center.
Features:
• Fully variable 25dB booster for dynamic and ribbon mics
• Extends dynamic range and microphone reach
• Uses standard 48V phantom for powering
• 3 position load switch and high-pass filter for greater control
Benefits:
• Boosts low output mic signals to a usable level
• Improves signal-to-noise on long cable runs
• Improves signal-to-noise with vintage audio gear
• High pass filter cleans up muddy low end
Cool stuff:
• Will breathe new life into your old SM57
• Makes your dynamic think it is a condenser
• Does not require any power supply
• Works on dynamics and ribbon mics
