【Dynamic Microphone Preamplifier】 Using class A transistor amplifier circuit, low noise, effectively solve the problem of low volume of dynamic microphone due to low sensitivity. (Note: It needs a 48 Volt Phantom Power.)

【Low Noise and Low Impedance] 】 With a strong load capacity, the cloundlifter can effectively suppress radio frequency interference and noise. Even in the process of long-distance signal transmission, there will be ideal sound quality performance.

【Excellent Sound Quality】The amp can provide +28dB of pure and clean gain without sound coloration, which is equivalent to a direct increase of 28dB for the sound card mic preamp with almost no sound quality loss, but can reduce the sound card itself because the gain is too large resulting noise problems.
