Today I compare 5 Mic Activators / Preamps for Dynamic & Ribbon Microphones to improve the output level: Cathedral Pipes Durham, Simply Sound SS-1, Triton Audio Fethead, Cloudlifter CL-1, and Radial McBoost. I test the output level, impact on tone, and impact on noise floor. NOTE: If you only have budget of $75 & Cathedral Pipes Durham is not available then I would recommend the SS-1.
