Description
 
  • OUTPUT: Balanced male XLR output – used to connect to your mixer or preamp and supply power to the McBoost from standard 48V phantom
  • INPUT: Balanced XLR female input used to connect your dynamic or ribbon mic
  • LOAD: 3-position switch lets you adjust the impedance to optimize the signal transfer from your microphone
  • LEVEL: 3-position lets you select your output level - FULL for 100% gain, HALF for 50% gain or VARI to control the gain with the rotary level control
  • GAIN: Variable control lets you boost the gain of your microphone from +4 dB to +25 dB

  • The Radial Engineering McBoost is a microphone signal booster designed to elevate the output of a typical dynamic microphone for greater transient response and boost the signal of a low-output ribbon mic to bring it up to a usable level for mixing consoles, preamps and workstations that may not provide sufficient gain. It features a 100% discrete Class A dual-transistor J-FET circuit that can produce up to 25 dB of gain without introducing noise, color or artifact.

    A 14-gauge I-beam reinforced steel enclosure prevents outside stress from torquing the sensitive PC board which otherwise could lead to premature part failure. A book-end cover creates protective zones at each end to safeguard the switches, potentiometer and connectors from the rigors of the road. Powered using standard 48-Volt phantom, connect the McBoost using standard 3-pin XLR cables. Three impedance settings optimize the response. Whether you are in a recording studio, on a live concert stage or in the middle of a broadcast event, the McBoost elevates the output of your mic to improve signal-to-noise while it adds clarity, excitement and extra drive for long cables.
