Got this over the clark teknik because I liked the way the little bit of coloration sounded. I like it on my own voice as well and it helped reduce noise by raising my signal volume so I don't have to crank my gain as much.

I purchased a Triton Fethead and really didn’t notice a difference in my XLR mic setup…as in next to nothing. I had almost given up when I decided to try this brand.I am running in in between two XLR cables so it doesn’t stick out if the back of my preamp or too far out of my mic so it was an easy install. Once it was plugged in…I immediately noticed a difference and it was 10 times better than the Fethead. I was able to adjust my gain down at least a quarter of the way, if not more. There is no noise introduced and my mic audio is clear and clean.Super happy with my purchase. Not only does it sound better and work better than a Fethead but it was also thirty dollars less expensive. Huge win in my book!

(I bought both the MB-1 and the MB-Stealth. The core of this review will be the same for both)I was looking to make an SM-48S hotter. I tripped over this, and - went for it.This isn't reaaallly meant for stage use, check the MB-1 (same company) if that's your goal.This plugs in inline straight into the bottom of the mic (or at the mixer end!) if you'd like. This *DOES* use phantom power, so if your mixer/preamp doesn't provide that, you'll have an issue. When unpowered, it's a straight pass-through.*for me* this is prefect. It's on a mic used for handpan and gong. I don't need shimmering high ends, I *do* need the bottom end not rolled off.Very nice implementation, truly plug & play. I figure that the electronics are the same in the MB-1, I didn't open them to check, as I'm returning the MB-1. I only need one, and I'll be keeping this one.Highly recommended. It does what it sets out to, and at this price point, you probably need more than one, just to have around. :)

Stealth in-Line Mic Preamp, Active Booster for Dynamic and Ribbon Microphones - Reduce Noise and Add Clarity to Your Podcast or Livestream, by Coda Music TechnologiesWell -- i went from a cheaper "Mayano" dynamite inline preamp to this one which is a bit better in terms of adding a bit more power behind the Shure sm7b -- i find this pretty clean sounding whilst adding a bit more juice. The only thing i that is a bit annoying is that its a bit thick so it gets in the way of the RODE PSA100 scissor mount at certain mounting positions. It works just fine --- just OCD. I'm not sure why others say "this is really noisy" because it isnt. Perhaps others have some EM noise in the area? i'm not sure but this is whisper quiet to me and doesnt introduce any noticeable noise to the signal

Esta bien, lo estoy usando con la mezcladora: Zoom livetrack L8 y esta solo tiene +54 dB (microfono shure SM7B requiere minimo 60 dB)Funciona correctamente, pero se introduce algo de ruido si se sube la ganancia. Aun asi lo recomiendo.

After doing a bunch of research about why I was having low input levels with my new Shure SM7B Mic + Focusrite Scarlett Solo Audio Interface I decided to try a pre-amp booster. The stealth seemed like the best bang for the buck and sure enough it worked like a charm.The Stealth went in nicely between the Shure and the Scarlett and blends in perfectly on the boom arm so I don't have an extra box and cable sitting on my desk. I can now turn down the gain on my audio interface and get much more input from the mic than I did previously and with no extra noise. Really great product and less expensive than the Cloudlifter that was recommended to me.Very happy customer here, thanks Coda!

I debated whether to get this over the Cloudlifter or Fethead...if you're asking the same question, I say yes! At half the cost it does exactly the same job. I'm using it with the Shure MV7x into a Rodecaster Pro and I was able to turn down the gain from 40 to 15 with the same output. It just works. A clean increase in gain.

I don't have experience with other similar products so I can't compare, but I'm extremely satisfied with this product. Without it, I would always find myself playing around with filters searching for a way to get the sound quality I was looking for from various dynamic mics, but adding this mic activator really helped my audio reach what I feel is its true potential.
