sE Electronics DM1 Dynamite Active In-line Microphone Preamp with 28dB Gain Bundle with 2 20-FT XLR Microphone Cables and 7-Pack Cable Ties

While the cables feel a little cheap, unless you're gping to be rubbing your XLR cables across power cables, or you live near a radio station, you should be fine. The DM-1 itself, however, is a different story: I cleans up my mixer's garbage preamps pretty nicely, and the 28db of gain it provides is absolutely neccessary for very quiet mics like the Shure SM7B or SE Electronics V7, especially if you're using a cheap mixer or interface, or if you're even simply using a really long XLR Cable.

Use with the shure sm7b mic and yamaha MG10XU mixer and the sound is just golden, no noise induction from using it, no hiss from the gain being turned up to compensate, infact i dont need any gain at all, and the packaging it comes in is just great lol, you'll see when you buy it, and i recommend that you do as i've had this plugged in for a couple years now and never turn my mixer off, no digital settings, no updates, just good old fashioned analog tech doing its thing flawlessly

For years I have been struggling with getting my vocals to sound right and not have to amplify which makes the background buzz or noises louder. Vocals have always been too rough and hurt my ears......this solved that fully. There is now a big difference between the sound floor and the vocals, has eliminated all ambient sound issues and made everything easier. Wish I would have bought one sooner.

Nice

Easy to use. Obvious signal boost. Removes floor hiss.
