Get the most out of your ribbon and dynamic mics in the studio or for your podcast. The MB2 is a two-channel inline mic booster with better performance than more expensive competitors.

Boosted performance. Sometimes ribbon and dynamic mics need a little more gain than a typical mic preamp can provide. In these cases the MB2 provides 26dB of extra gain with ultra-low noise and distortion.

The MB2’s high input impedance is optimized to capture the full audio spectrum of ribbon mics without damping the ribbon. And MB2’s buffered, low-impedance outputs are great for driving long cable runs without noise or gain loss.

Superior specs. Don’t be fooled by the low price—the MB2’s premium parts and no-compromise design make for better specs than the leading inline mic boosters.

($150/channel) ($90/channel) MB2 ($50/channel)
Output Impedance 6.8kΩ 6.7kΩ 10kΩ
Distortion (THD+N) .01% .038% .005%
Noise (EIN) -122dBV -122dBV -127dBV
Gain 10-26dB* 12-27dB* 26dB

*Actual gain depends on input impedance of preamp following booster

Fantastic Product & Service alike

Got this recently and built it quickly (quality is great and soldering is very easy and forgiving on these boards). Used it fine for a few days until one of the channels started buzzing more than the other. Turns out a transistor had a internally shorted. I emailed the service dept. and they sent a replacement transistor priority mail, which arrived not 2 days later. Now the product is right back to service and sounding/working great with my R88 stereo ribbon. Just an absolute pleasure doing business with this company.
