The Mic Booster CM-1 is an excellent tool your getting crisp and clean mic signals in a variety of applications:

Podcasting
Stages and venues of any size
Recording studios and home studios
Band practice spaces

The CM-1 can work with almost any dynamic or passive ribbon microphone. Its high-quality preamp adds +25 dB of gain to your mic preamps, which increases headroom and allows you to dial in the perfect mic level at a much lower gain setting at the mixer, thus leading to a cleaner sound.

The simplicity and size of the CM-1 means you can set it up as close as possible to any mic anywhere in your studio or on stage. This minimizes the risk of any potential noise being picked up by long cable runs.

It also runs on phantom power and needs no external power source. Just plug and play.

The CM-1 is designed and engineered in the UK to withstand the rigors of the road. With a tough metal enclosure, the CM-1 is built to last for years of dependable use.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How is this product different than the Rode VXLR+ ? Voltage ? Impedance ?

A: The Rode VXLR Plus does not provide the same voltage that the Sennheiser provides. The Rode does 3-5v. For example: the Sennheiser ME 2 requires 7.5v. The Rode VXLR Plus would not supply that voltage.

Q: 2. Would this device work with the Countryman b3 Lav Mic mini 1/8 connector for Sennheiser? a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/294555-REG/Countryman_B3W4FF05BSR_B3_Omnidirectional_Lavalier_Microphone.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/294555-REG/Countryman_B3W4FF05BSR_B3_Omnidirectional_Lavalier_Microphone.html/a

A: This device should work fine with the Countryman B3 (for Sennheiser EW series transmitters).

Q: 3. i have a scralett 2i2 signal processor will this be compatible or do i need a bigger signal processor with more outs and inputs?

A: The Scarlett 2i2 would not feature the connectivity to allow you to use this unit in addition to the preamps built into your unit. You can however use this unit as an alternative to the preamps in the Scarlett 2i2 by connecting the 1/4 outputs on the ART PRO MPA II to the 1/4 line inputs on the interface.

Q: 4. Does this stack up in Windows PC so that i can get 48+ bidirectional channels in 96khz?

A: No stacking. The DN9630 features a single AES50 connector, while the single USB 2.0 port connects directly to a Windows/Mac computer, offering up to 48 bidirectional channels at 48 kHz and 24 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz sample rates

Q: 5. I have a Zoom H6 recorder and want to use it with the Senheisser MKE-2 lav mic (which needs 7.5V). Would I need to turn the Phantom power on in the recorder to 48V?

A: Yes, that is exactly correct.

Q: 6. Does this unit have RIAA EQ compensation?

A: The Pyle Pro PP444 will provide built in RIAA EQ compensation, and will play back correctly when connected to a line level input source.

Q: 7. Will I be able to use this to connect my vintage Technics turntable to my Yamaha AV receiver?

A: Yes it has the RIAA equalization built in. Otherwise it would not work with output of a turntable. It would sound like crap. I have on and have tested it and it sounds fine.

Q: 8. Can you use two DN9630's at one time on a Mac? Can you create an aggregate device with both devices plugged into a mac?

A: Just one at a time may be used. They cannot be aggregated via the Mac's USB port.

Q: 9. will it work with a moving coil cartridge, connected between my turntable and my integrated amplifier?

A: This product is not a good choice for a Moving Coil cartridge. You'll get a weak signal that will need to be boosted, and there will probably be a lot more noise. Moving Coil carts tend to be very high quality, so it would be a shame to use the wrong preamp and not get all of the potential quality.

Q: 10. Can I use it with a YOGA HT-81 to increase gain and reduce noise? Thanks

A: No; you can't. That is not what this is or what to does. This is designed for one specific purpose: it takes a low-level phono signal from a turntable, and increases the gain (by a specified, non-adjustable amount) while adding a specified (RIAA) equalization curve.What aren't you just looking at microphone preamps and mic-related products?

[1] I use this as an alternative to selenium for warmer tones. Has always worked great for me. 5

[0.48 lb] This is one of the many things I have shipped from B&H this year and it works like a charm. Though the manufacturer had been out of stock for some time the tea from B&H kept me updated until the entity was available and it was s hipped immediately. I'm always looking forward to shopping with you guys fro your diligence. 5

[1] This is a fun way to add some colorful creative effects to your instant photography. The look can range from subtle to very pronounced depending on your subject and which filter you use from this pack. I say if you like the samples shown on the product package, you'll probably have a lot of fun with this. Included are two photos I made, one with the Austin filter and one with the Northern Lights filter. 5

[Preamplifier] I purchased this card because I long suspected the card that came installed in my M32r was no good. I do a lot of professional multitrack recordings and was having a lot of trouble getting my computer and the console to read each other. It would take a lot of plugging, unplugging, and replugging, reboots of the console and the computer, and rebooting pro tools a million times before they would read each other. I replaced the card with this one from B&H and it fires up first time, every time. No problems. 5

[1] This thing is well worth the price, as we use a separate computer to mix our broadcast audio through a DAW. This thing allows us to have that computer in our broadcast studio with no loss of audio quality! Much better than running 100ft of USB, if it would even send anything at that range. 5

[-15 dBu] I’m very happy to own these speakers. I’ve done several events with just the Bluetooth capabilities. Not only can you stream your music but also control all your audio sounds levels with app and to top it off, you can pair 2 speakers to run in stereo via Bluetooth. I have controlled my music, mics and speakers wirelessly from my iPhone/iPad. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on sound and it never fails that someone will come up to me to ask what brand speakers I’m using. Turbosound is not a well known commercial brand but don’t let that fool you. These provide excellent bass and mid/high sound. My only con is the weight but the sound will make you forget about that. For all the features ,well built and durability , they are well worth the price , seriously. 5

[1] It holds 6-7 cards plus 4-5 notes. Easy to access any card you need while keeping the overall thickness very low. Like the design. 5
