Great Little Pre
If you have a dynamic mic and you have to crank the input gain on your audio interface to get a decent signal level, this is a must-have alternative. Gives you a strong, clean signal and allows you to keep the input gain down, lowering the noise floor. If you're a $10k professional music producer, you'll probably want a higher-end preamp. If you're making a podcast and just want a decent mic signal, this is a well-made, cost-effective solution.

Buen producto
Funciona como especifican. Hay que tener cuidado con la ganancia y volumen porque bota un chorro pero de calidad. No es compatible con el Yamaha stagepas 400i (distorsiona) pero si OK con Mackie ProFx12v3 y la interfaz Presonus.

Noticeable difference straight away
An amazing difference in sound; I had to turn my microphone down almost all the way. Game changer highly reccomend..

Instant vibe!
Does exactly what it says, adds clean boost to a gain hungry SM57 my bass player immediately noticed a difference at rehearsal today. Germanium adds a certain low mid girth to my vocal and gives my board's eq more juice at each setting. I got a great deal on this too at 69$ on sale. I'm happy.

Really wakes up a rubbon Mic
I needed more gazats for my ribbon mic. So I opted for for a Triton unit. Made in Holland, which is a good thing. The Dutch are great engineers, I worked for ASML (Veldhonve) for 32 years. This products took my RE144 from dismal to bliss. I recommend it.

really loose connection for some reason
I got this for my new MV7 dynamic mic thinking it would help gain but right away I noticed that its connection on the mic was super loose for some reason. I'm not sure if I got a faulty one or it's my MV7 xlr port problem. but with a regular xlr cable I used on MV7 fits perfectly fine and stays in place so I think it's indeed this Triton Fethead that's loose. I'm going to return this.

Adds gain without noise
Adds gain without noise between my SM57 and focusrite 2i2 to record my acoustic guitar. Works great! Now the mic pics up my mistakes too... guess I gotta work on that.

Great price point and value!
Works great adding gain to my SM7B mic. Really made a difference without changing character of audio too much.

Oh - my - god, what a difference
I normally don't write reviews, but this is such a game changer. I am a very experienced podcaster, and recently have been out on the road and just been in disbelief at how bad my SMB7+Zoom H6 sounds - the noise floor was SO HIGH! I had to process it to the point of it sounding robotic to get rid of it. Descript Studio sound often works miracles but even that was struggling. Who would have thought it would be this simple? With this attached, I can dial the H6 from level 8 down to level 4 or 5. At 4 the noise floor isn't even audible, around -60db compared to -50db without at the same level. I could presumably make it even better by swapping out the H6 for something lower noise, but this alone is pretty much all you need, HUGE improvement

As Advertised! Plug'n'play. Zero Hiss. Compact and effective.
As advertised. I have a AT2040 dynamic mic and was getting limited gain from my Presonus USB96 Audio Interface. I had to crank it to get enough level just to be heard on my Podcasting software. I bought this, watched a bunch of reviews on YouTube first. Literally plug and play. I now have my gain set to 50% and am way louder than before. Great headroom and so clean. Zero his. It fits in my pocket, not that it will leave my desk. Don't need a second XLR, goes right into the mic.

The purpose of this device is to amplify the power of the Mic if the Interface isn't enough
I haven't dared use my Shure without this, it's boosted the power enough for me to be able to do my work much more efficiently.
