The iCON Pro Audio HyperDrive inline preamplifier is the perfect way to increase the gain of your dynamic or ribbon microphones without the coloration of a pre-amp. The gain is switchable between 23dB or 46dB.
Take a standard dynamic microphone, add the HyperDrive and benefit from Class A discrete gain, resulting in a sound on a par to a world class condenser microphone perfect for vocals and instruments. Recording acoustic or classical guitar, for example, becomes a breeze – no more cranking up the volume on your pre-amp and without the need for capacitors or resistors in the gain staging pathway. You will hear the sound of the microphone, not your pre-amp! The HD1HyperDrive will improve the quality and noise floor of your recordings and reduce the likelihood of buzz, interference and feedback in live performances.
FEATURES
Note: the HD1 requires phantom power for operation and does not work with microphones that require phantom power, i.e. condenser microphones or some active ribbon microphones.
