Each channel also doubles as a high-impedance DI.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen used as a signal booster, both channels of the dBooster2 increase the level of passive low-output ribbon and dynamic microphones with a minimum of distortion or coloration. Designed for professional applications, each dBooster2 channel offers two levels of clean gain boost: 12 dB or 20 dB, selectable by a front panel switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe dBooster2’s Class A input presents a high source impedance to microphones, minimizing loading (damping) and improving headroom. By utilizing the 12\/20 dB gain switch, optimum balance between gain and headroom can be achieved for a variety of uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe dBooster2’s low-impedance output is an increased microphone-level signal that can drive a digital interface directly or a standard microphone preamplifier. It also minimizes signal loss on long cable runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen used as a DI for unbalanced guitar level sources, the dBooster2 provides either 0 dB or 8 dB of gain, selectable from the front panel switch. The single ended high-impedance (230K-Ohm) DI input maintains headroom and gain regardless of load, with minimal distortion or coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eRECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMiking any low-volume sound source (acoustic instruments, vocals, etc.)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRecording direct to a DAW interface\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eUse on long cable runs to retain sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDI for direct electric guitar, electric bass, and other instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eBENEFITS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSafe for use on all ribbon mics\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIncreases headroom at the preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eProvides true electrical isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eProtects ribbon mics from phantom-power\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizes mic loading\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCapable of driving difficult loads, such as mic splitters and vintage style preamps, without increased distortion or loss of gain\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Royer Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450761146471,"sku":"164150","price":349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/royer-dbooster2_164150_1_a982b32d-dd89-437c-af4d-8a163cef42c4.jpg?v=1787094421","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/royer-labs-dbooster-2","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
