Inline Microphone Gain Booster Battle (Cloudlifter CL-1, Fethead, Soyuz Launcher, Samson HighRise)
In this video I review and compare 5 different inline gain boosters, including the Cloudlifter CL-1, Soyuz Microphones Launcher, Triton Audio Fethead and Fethead Transformer, and Samson HighRise.
Inline gain boosters, also known as mic activators, or inline preamps, increase the gain of your dynamic or passive ribbon microphone, without introducing any added noise.
Some are meant to be transparent, while others purposefully add color and character to the tone of your audio. Each one in surprisingly different in form and function, and one size doesn't necessarily fit all.
The Cloudlifter CL-1 has been the go-to inline gain booster for a long time, especially for microphones like the Shure SM7b, but is it still the best mic activator available?
