🧵 Continuing my quest to a good #DynamicMic for instruments (mainly), I am having a little detour to inline #microphone #preamp|s. Most people know the #CloudLifter, this little thingie that uses 48V phantom power to make a quiet signal louder without introducing too much noise. But will it alter your sound?

Now #Behringer, in disguise as #KlarkTeknik here, offer something like this for below 30€, while all the competitors go nuts with their prices, the #TritonAudio #Fethead is one of the less expensive ones. If you ask the web for a #diy Fethead, you'll find a couply of simple circuits with less than 10 components…

After some testing, there's only one truth for me & myself: It depends on the mic-preamp combination!

The impedances of preamp and mic might be more relevant than the product. So the KlarkTeknik CM-1 works for the #Beyerdynamic #M201, the FetHead makes it sound worse, but the CM-1 doesn't work so well for the #DieterSchoepfAudioservice #Addy2.
