Samson HIGH RISE MIC GAIN BOOSTER

HighRise is a compact, inline signal booster that provides up to +30 dB of transparent gain for connecting low-output microphones to mixers, audio interfaces, and preamps. Whether you are capturing spoken word for a podcast or livestream, recording in the studio or performing on stage, the HighRise provides more headroom to ensure an ultra-clean microphone signal.

The HighRise is a pre-preamplifier that boosts the signal of very low output microphones connected to mixers, interfaces, or stand-alone mic preamps that have too narrow a gain range (typically +40 dB to +55 dB maximum), making some microphones unusable for normal speech levels or soft instruments.

Its high-quality preamplifier has a selectable +20 dB or +30 dB clean gain, which increases headroom and allows you to achieve a usable level at the connected preamp with a much lower gain setting, reducing additional noise in the signal chain. The result is the best possible audio performance for low-output passive microphones. It also has a +20 dB setting with a high-frequency boost to add vocal presence to your performance. A selectable low-cut filter removes unwanted noise to improve the clarity of the microphone signal.
