Its Class-A differential DC-coupled FET circuit provides up to 26 dB of clean gain with wide frequency response, low noise and minimal distortion. With selectable input impedance, multiple gain modes and standard XLR connectivity, the McBoost is well suited to recording studios, live sound, broadcast work and long microphone cable runs where a stronger, cleaner signal is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe McBoost provides three useful gain ranges: +26 dB at full gain, +20 dB at half gain, and continuously variable gain from +4 dB to +25 dB. This allows the amount of signal boost to be matched more precisely to different microphones, preamps and working environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts Class-A differential DC-coupled FET audio circuit is engineered for transparent signal amplification, with a frequency response extending from below 7 Hz to beyond 30 kHz. A 116 dB dynamic range, low equivalent input noise and very low distortion help preserve the natural character and transient detail of the connected microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA three-position impedance selector provides 600 ohm, 2.7k ohm and 30k ohm input settings, allowing the response of compatible dynamic and ribbon microphones to be optimized. The 220 ohm output impedance provides a strong source for feeding microphone preamps and driving longer cable runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe McBoost operates inline through standard XLR connections, with an XLR female input and XLR male output. Power is supplied from standard 48V phantom power, eliminating the need for a separate local power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from cold rolled steel, the McBoost is designed for demanding professional environments including recording studios, stages and broadcast applications. Its compact inline format makes it easy to place close to the microphone so gain can be added directly at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Active microphone signal booster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio Circuit Type: Class-A Differential DC Coupled FET\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: Below 7 Hz to above 30 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Range: 116 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Gain: +26 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalf Gain: +20 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable Gain: +4 dB to +25 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Clip Level: +16 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion: 0.006%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntermodulation Distortion: 0.01%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhase Deviation: Less than 10 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance: 600 ohms \/ 2.7k ohms \/ 30k ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: 220 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon Mode Rejection Ratio: Greater than 50 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent Input Noise: -125 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise Floor: -100 dBu \/ -110 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Connector: XLR female\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Connector: XLR male\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Cold rolled steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Requirement: 48V phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Conditions: Dry locations only between 5°C and 40°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Microphones: Passive dynamic and ribbon microphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplications: Recording, live sound, broadcast and long microphone cable runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you should choose the Radial McBoost Microphone Signal Booster\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Radial McBoost Microphone Signal Booster is a strong choice when a passive dynamic or ribbon microphone needs more level without sacrificing clarity. Its Class-A FET circuit, selectable impedance, flexible gain structure and low-noise performance provide significantly more control than a simple fixed-gain booster. With rugged steel construction, phantom-powered operation and professional XLR connectivity, it is a versatile tool for studio, stage and broadcast applications where clean microphone gain matters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68236431458525,"sku":"MCBOOST","price":189.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/1680\/files\/0000_9172af87-9c02-4d90-ba0f-3b5b36084b28.jpg?v=1792510462","url":"https:\/\/shop.theartsmusicstore.com\/products\/radial-mcboost-mic-signal-booster-class-a-fet-with-25db-gain-mcboost","provider":"The Arts Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
