![]() ![]() Your ears are developed, so you should be able to notice the difference immediately. So all you super audio veterans and old bitter dudes who hate hearing about inline mic boosters, I actually recommend at least trying one. Now all my dynamic mics are better.” Only thing that could do that before, was a new preamp. So yes, even if you have a lot of recording experience and never needed one, an inline mic booster can maybe allow for even more pristine recordings.Īfter all this time, I never thought an inline mic booster would make me go, “Hey, that’s pretty cool. Main confirmation: IT REDUCES NOISE FLOOR Chose it due to providing 28dB of gain, and being very affordable.Īaaaanyway- long story short- this thing is actually pretty good. So yesterday I bought an inline mic booster. I’ve never needed an inline mic booster, and so many others haven’t, either. My view now, is that yes- proper recording technique and matching mic to source is always important, and if one can do that, one does not need an inline mic booster. The “no” answers, were about how one was not needed, if using proper recording techniques, especially with the correct microphone for the source. Some “yes” answers were about ribbon mics and dynamic mics that were gain hungry. There was a post here recently from a veteran who seriously wanted to know if there was ever a reason to need an inline mic booster. So something that’s interesting about that concept, is that inline mic boosters basically transform a passive dynamic mic, into an active version. ![]() This one aspect has almost been forgotten, because so many people have been using it with increased gain as the main focus and intention.Ĭondenser mics have a similar thing inside of the mics, which uses phantom power to activate a circuit that boosts the output of the capsule. They posted audio clips, and what was most interesting, was the lowered noise floor. I first heard of Cloudlifter around the time of the Sound On Sound review of it (almost 10 years ago). Okay, so let’s have a discussion about inline mic boosters. It’s been a long ass ride of bullshit, but luckily, it looks like it’s calming down. SM7B + Cloudlifter posts, was probably the most ridiculous post trend in the past year and a half. ![]()
