1. Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator

  • Uses Phantom power to give passive mics (mainly used for dynamic and ribbon mics) up to +25dB without passing Phantom power on to mic
  • Easy to use self contained design requires only Phantom power to work. **Does not use Phantom power to power mics
  • Recommended for use with all passive dynamic microphones
  • Compatible with tube, battery, or power supply driven microphones – safe for all passive ribbons with no transfer of Phantom
  • Does not power the mics themselves using Phantom power (that is not what this is designed for). instead, place the cloudlifter at the front of your dynamic mic, then hit it with Phantom Power and your basic mic (even an SM58 style mic) will shine like never before

4. Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIII Mic Preamp

  • Vintage Style electronics, no intergrated circuits in the signal pathEnough gain to handle passive ribbon mics with quiet sound sourcesGAIN/LINE mode switch, gain is reduced by 30 dB in LINE modeSelectable two position high frequency AIR boost eq, 3 or 6 dB @ 30 kHzSelectable 6 dB/octave two frequency high pass filterTantalum capacitors in the signal pathSwitchable impedance in MIC modeSwitchable phantom power and absolute phaseA high-impedance instrument inputA simple but effective 4-step LED o
  • The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors
  • The input and output is transformer balanced, using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose
  • This is the way audio components were built before integrated circuits became available
  • The circuit used in the PRE-73 MKIII is similar to the preamp section in the classical 1073 module with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet and musical

  • DREAM IN COLOR – Whether on the stage, in the booth, or in your bedroom, the Launcher is plug and play and gives your dynamic and ribbon microphones the ability to perform incredibly with virtually any interface or preamp by optimizing the sound of your source, boosting your gain by 26dB, and lowering the amount of audible noise in your signal chain.
  • COUNTDOWN TO THE PERFECT SOUND – The Launcher is the culmination of years of beta testing and feedback from musicians and engineers around the world. We did not stop until the winning combination was found. The Launcher’s custom transformer and proprietary circuit have become one of Soyuz’s most closely guarded secrets.
