Coda MB-Stealth in-Line Microphone Preamp Mic Gain Booster 28 dB Clean Gain

After doing a bunch of research about why I was having low input levels with my new Shure SM7B Mic + Focusrite Scarlett Solo Audio Interface I decided to try a pre-amp booster. The stealth seemed like the best bang for the buck and sure enough it worked like a charm. The Stealth went in nicely between the Shure and the Scarlett and blends in perfectly on the boom arm so I don't have an extra box and cable sitting on my desk. I can now turn down the gain on my audio interface and get much more input from the mic than I did previously and with no extra noise. Really great product and less expensive than the Cloudlifter that was recommended to me. Very happy customer here, thanks Coda!

100/10 Didn't save my marriage but at least I'm not sad about it . I have a Black Lion Audio 2x2 interface and a Shure SM58 , even at Max gain I was barely audible without post processing of ~24db. Now I am nice and loud at 50-60% gain!!! Quality seems identical to without if not better than before. Easy install!!! ( literally plug it into the back of your mic. enable 48 volt/phantom on interface.) high quality packaging and quality feel to the plug and a surprising heft to it!!! These are probably insanely cheap to make and the margin of profit must be huge but be for real you aren't making your own, and if you do it won't be this nice. Overpriced for what it is? kiiiinnnda but idk there's far more expensive versions of these that have bad reviews. so imo, GREAT VALUE FOR ITS COMPETITION 100/10

Great product. I like this one because it is inline in the XLR setup, and doesn't require a second cable. It can plug right into your mic end or the audio interface at the other end. Works great

After purchasing a used Triton FetHead from Amazon Warehouse and getting a broken unit, I decided to look around for alternatives. Luckily my timing on getting this set up was around Black Friday so seeing this pretty unknown item on sale for $24.99 vs FetHead's at $79.99 I had to give it a shot. There are just a few YouTube videos about this but they all praised it from the ones I saw. From doing sound tests with all different levels of gain and compression this thing is rock solid and adds a great amount of nice, clean gain for the SM7B to work with while going into a GoXLR Mini. I'm always interesting in trying a product that seems like an underdog and this really feels like one, this thing can compete with the FetHead any time. I went ahead and purchased a second one to just have in case because at the price I got it at it just made sense haha and even without the discount getting one of these for $50 and avoiding the really weird third party sellers selling FetHeads for half price (Chinese knock off's or referbs maybe?) this is a no brainer.

I bought 2 of these abut a year ago. They worked great at first but all of a sudden I noticed the preamp on my Focusrite interface was not working. I chucked it up to the interface being old since I'd had it about 5 years. So I bought a new Mackie interface. Everything was working quite well and I don't use it a lot. But noticed that one day I had to turn up the gain in OBS, which was unusual because with the in line booster I had plenty of volume and never had to add any before. So I didn't think much about it but then about 2 weeks later, tried to use the setup and nothing. Mic preamp is blown on my new Mackie interface. I tried different cable, mics, and both of the Coda Stealth units and got nothing. So be very weary of this product.

Tenía el piso de ruido en -50dB y este preamplificador me lo redujo a -60dB, el cambio principalmente se nota en la reducción del siseo, que actualmente es muy mínimo, esos -60dB actuales son principalmente de "Hum" generado por el mismo ambiente del espacio de grabación, el aire y vibraciones bajas del computador, entonces si esa parte acústica y de insonorización estuviera totalmente cubierta, de seguro la reducción del piso de ruido hubiera sido mayor, además parece tener una construcción sólida y hasta ahora todo ha estado bien entonces por eso las 5 estrellas. Aunque su tuviera que mencionar algo que no me gustó, mencionaría que para conectarlo tuve que usar mucha fuerza y de hecho quise intentar quitarlo para hacer una nueva prueba del piso de ruido sin el preamp y más bien desistí, porque temí dañarlo o al micrófono, por la cantidad de fuerza que toca hacer. Fuera de eso, el preamplificador cumple! 👌🏻

Awsome

This did nothing for my setup . No increase whatsoever. I am not sure if it's my fault or the mic I used or the mixer. Idk. So I'm just rating it low because it did not work for me, as the device looked quality and came in good packaging . The mic worked on its own with an external preamp but not with this and when I tried using it on my air 192 it did not work. Just in case anyone has the same issues. I used a weymic condenser mic also found on Amazon. It was for vocal sample recordings

Esta bien, lo estoy usando con la mezcladora: Zoom livetrack L8 y esta solo tiene +54 dB (microfono shure SM7B requiere minimo 60 dB) Funciona correctamente, pero se introduce algo de ruido si se sube la ganancia. Aun asi lo recomiendo.

Stealth in-Line Mic Preamp, Active Booster for Dynamic and Ribbon Microphones - Reduce Noise and Add Clarity to Your Podcast or Livestream, by Coda Music Technologies Well -- i went from a cheaper "Mayano" dynamite inline preamp to this one which is a bit better in terms of adding a bit more power behind the Shure sm7b -- i find this pretty clean sounding whilst adding a bit more juice. The only thing i that is a bit annoying is that its a bit thick so it gets in the way of the RODE PSA100 scissor mount at certain mounting positions. It works just fine --- just OCD. I'm not sure why others say "this is really noisy" because it isnt. Perhaps others have some EM noise in the area? i'm not sure but this is whisper quiet to me and doesnt introduce any noticeable noise to the signal

It works as advertised.

Its great for the price but not the best

I don't have experience with other similar products so I can't compare, but I'm extremely satisfied with this product. Without it, I would always find myself playing around with filters searching for a way to get the sound quality I was looking for from various dynamic mics, but adding this mic activator really helped my audio reach what I feel is its true potential.
