About this item

  • Enhanced Signal Clarity: The Mic Preamp FC-1 effectively increases audio signal strength, adding crucial gain that allows for higher input levels; this ensures exceptional clarity, capturing every subtle detail in your recordings
  • Optimized for Live Sound: Durable for stage use yet quiet enough for the studio, the FC-1 reduces line noise over long cable runs and improves gain before feedback, providing better sound control for live performances and speaking engagements
  • For Studio and Broadcast: Designed to boost low-output sources, the FC-1 enhances vocals, percussion, and acoustic instruments, maintaining your mic’s natural sound quality; perfect for studio and broadcast environments. Note: not compatible with condenser microphones
  • Exceptional Versatility: The Mic Preamp FC-1 is ideal for podcasts, live streaming, radio broadcasts, live events, and studio recordings; it offers the performance and reliability needed to achieve professional audio results across diverse applications

I use this with an SM7B, and I you can definitely tell its giving you a good boost, as I need to adjust my gain DOWN on my interface. I don't have a way to measure noise floor, but I can tell you that no one I have talked to through voice chats or my podcast recordings seem to indicate there is a noise floor rise.Everything sounds just as it did before.Its built very well, and mimics the Cloud Lifter that is so coveted for running dynamic microphones.

This was my first time trying a pre amp, so I didn’t understand all the specs in the listing, but now I get it. I thought I could boost a Maono Podcaster mic system, but it already had pre amp in it so it didn’t work. I just got no sound. This works just fine though with a regular set up and mic. The build is solid; feels like a metal brick. It was very easy to use with 3pin XLR cables (purchased separately). I also like the vintage look of the labeling. If you’re a beginner, be sure to research mic and mixer compatibility, especially if you’re using podcast kits.
