      Royer Labs dBooster R-DB20 dBooster In-Line Signal Booster

      The Royer model R-DB20 is a phantom-powered ribbon and dynamic microphone signal booster and impedance buffer. It increases the level of passive low-output ribbon and dynamic microphones with a minimum of distortion or coloration. Designed for professional applications, the dBooster provides two levels of clean gain boost; 12dB and 20dB, selectable by a front panel switch. The dBooster maintains headroom and gain regardless of load.

      The Class A input circuitry presents a high source impedance to the microphone, which minimizes loading (damping). This reduces coloration and distortion while at the same time improving headroom.

      By utilizing the 12/20dB gain switch, optimum balance between gain and headroom can be achieved for a variety of uses.

      The low-impedance output of the dBooster 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.

      RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

      • Miking any low-volume sound source (acoustic instruments, vocals, etc.)
      • Recording direct to a DAW interface
      • Use on long cable runs to retain sound quality

      FEATURES

      • 12dB and 20dB gain stages
      • High input impedance
      • Low output impedance
      • Rugged case construction
      • Ultra-low noise performance
      • Ultra-low distortion
      • Wide frequency bandwidth

      BENEFITS

      • Safe for use on all ribbon mics
      • Increases headroom at the preamp
      • Provides true electrical isolation
      • Protects ribbon mics from phantom-power
      • Minimizes mic loading
      • Capable of driving difficult loads, such as mic splitters and vintage style preamps, without increased distortion or loss of gain
