Microphone preamp for Klark Teknik MIC BOOSTER CT1 dynamic or ribbon microphones Review

The MIC BOOSTER CT 1 is a compact and easy-to-use high quality mic preamp, the tool you need to get crisp and clear mic signals, ideal for podcast setups, recording studios and live rigs. The MIC BOOSTER CT 1 is designed for situations where the inputs of a mixer or audio interface provide insufficient gain, and is able to work with almost any dynamic or passive ribbon microphone. The CT 1 model amplifies the low output signal from any microphone and works like any other similar device: through phantom power, the preamplifier boosts the signal by +25 dB. According to the company, this amount of gain makes the signal noticeably more powerful, and the preamp itself provides sufficient sound purity without causing overloads and possible noise when laying long cable lines between the microphone and the preamp. Just plug and play! No external power supply required! Designed and engineered in the UK, the MIC BOOSTER CT 1 is designed and built to withstand the rigors of the road with its rugged, durable construction for years of use.
