Coda MB-Stealth in-Line Microphone Preamp Mic Gain Booster for Dynamic and Ribbon Mics - 48V Phantom Power Mic Preamp with 28 db Clean Gain, Ultra Low Noise, Enhance Your Podcast or Livestream

I got two for a Sure MV7x and a knockoff SM7b. In both cases, it does what it says without introducing noise. But I do not have the GOLDEN ears others claim to have. I plug it right into the back of the mic and it looks ok. BTW you need phantom power for these to work. Very happy with these

After doing a bunch of research about why I was having low input levels with my new Shure SM7B Mic + Focusrite Scarlett Solo Audio Interface I decided to try a pre-amp booster. The stealth seemed like the best bang for the buck and sure enough it worked like a charm.The Stealth went in nicely between the Shure and the Scarlett and blends in perfectly on the boom arm so I don't have an extra box and cable sitting on my desk. I can now turn down the gain on my audio interface and get much more input from the mic than I did previously and with no extra noise. Really great product and less expensive than the Cloudlifter that was recommended to me.Very happy customer here, thanks Coda!

I purchased a Triton Fethead and really didn’t notice a difference in my XLR mic setup…as in next to nothing. I had almost given up when I decided to try this brand.I am running in in between two XLR cables so it doesn’t stick out if the back of my preamp or too far out of my mic so it was an easy install. Once it was plugged in…I immediately noticed a difference and it was 10 times better than the Fethead. I was able to adjust my gain down at least a quarter of the way, if not more. There is no noise introduced and my mic audio is clear and clean.Super happy with my purchase. Not only does it sound better and work better than a Fethead but it was also thirty dollars less expensive. Huge win in my book!

I bought 2 of these abut a year ago. They worked great at first but all of a sudden I noticed the preamp on my Focusrite interface was not working. I chucked it up to the interface being old since I'd had it about 5 years. So I bought a new Mackie interface. Everything was working quite well and I don't use it a lot. But noticed that one day I had to turn up the gain in OBS, which was unusual because with the in line booster I had plenty of volume and never had to add any before. So I didn't think much about it but then about 2 weeks later, tried to use the setup and nothing. Mic preamp is blown on my new Mackie interface. I tried different cable, mics, and both of the Coda Stealth units and got nothing. So be very weary of this product.

Got this over the clark teknik because I liked the way the little bit of coloration sounded. I like it on my own voice as well and it helped reduce noise by raising my signal volume so I don't have to crank my gain as much.

(I bought both the MB-1 and the MB-Stealth. The core of this review will be the same for both)I was looking to make an SM-48S hotter. I tripped over this, and - went for it.This isn't reaaallly meant for stage use, check the MB-1 (same company) if that's your goal.This plugs in inline straight into the bottom of the mic (or at the mixer end!) if you'd like. This *DOES* use phantom power, so if your mixer/preamp doesn't provide that, you'll have an issue. When unpowered, it's a straight pass-through.*for me* this is prefect. It's on a mic used for handpan and gong. I don't need shimmering high ends, I *do* need the bottom end not rolled off.Very nice implementation, truly plug & play. I figure that the electronics are the same in the MB-1, I didn't open them to check, as I'm returning the MB-1. I only need one, and I'll be keeping this one.Highly recommended. It does what it sets out to, and at this price point, you probably need more than one, just to have around. :)

After purchasing a used Triton FetHead from Amazon Warehouse and getting a broken unit, I decided to look around for alternatives. Luckily my timing on getting this set up was around Black Friday so seeing this pretty unknown item on sale for $24.99 vs FetHead's at $79.99 I had to give it a shot. There are just a few YouTube videos about this but they all praised it from the ones I saw. From doing sound tests with all different levels of gain and compression this thing is rock solid and adds a great amount of nice, clean gain for the SM7B to work with while going into a GoXLR Mini. I'm always interesting in trying a product that seems like an underdog and this really feels like one, this thing can compete with the FetHead any time.I went ahead and purchased a second one to just have in case because at the price I got it at it just made sense haha and even without the discount getting one of these for $50 and avoiding the really weird third party sellers selling FetHeads for half price (Chinese knock off's or referbs maybe?) this is a no brainer.

I Have A Shure Mv7x and This Was just What I Needed to Give The Gain I wanted. Just Make Sure You Have Phantom Power For Your Interface or Mixer for This.
