If you've ever tried to get a loud sound out of a low-output dynamic or ribbon mic and noticed that awful hiss, add the Polsen XP-30D Inline Mic Preamp to your arsenal. The XP-30D adds 30 dB of clean gain and sidesteps a common problem when using mics like the SM7B with mixers or interfaces: the unbearably loud noise floor. Use it between the mic and your interface, and you'll have 30 dB of clean signal with no trace of noise.
The XP-30D uses balanced XLR connections to ensure a color-free sound even over long cable runs. The device runs on phantom power from your preamp, interface, or mixer. If you're using a ribbon mic, the phantom power never enters the signal path, so your ribbon will always be protected. The XP-30D has a durable metal shell, perfect for life on the road. Keep it in your gig bag or even your pocket, and take it wherever you're streaming, podcasting, or gigging.
30 dB of Clean Gain on Tap
Use the XP-30D when a low-output dynamic or ribbon microphone isn't giving you the power you need, or when turning up the preamp or console's gain only adds noise to the signal. Placed inline between a microphone and preamp, or microphone and console, the XP-30D adds 30 dB of clean gain to any low-output dynamic or ribbon microphone without noise or coloration.
XLR Input and Output
The 3-pin XLR input and output are compatible with most professional microphones. And the balanced XLR connectors ensure a clean and interference-free signal even with long cable runs.
Runs on Phantom Power
Other than phantom power�which comes from compatible mixers, mic pres, or interfaces�no batteries or external power source is needed to take advantage of the XP-30D. Activate the phantom power on your mic pre or console, and your microphone's output will be boosted by 30 dB. Sensitive ribbon microphones are protected from any damage because the XP-30D doesn't pass through the phantom power. So, plug in and don't worry about your ribbon mic. The XP-30D's circuitry will protect it.
Durable Metal Construction
If you're podcasting, making a YouTube video, recording an ENG interview, or playing with a band, the XP-30D is designed for you. The rugged metal chassis can take bumps and knocks while being transported, whether it's rattling around in your gear bag, backpack, or even your pocket.
