Low-output mics need help. The CAD Audio PA28 sits between your microphone and your mixer, interface or wireless transmitter and adds +28dB of clean, consistent gain, so you're not cranking a preamp into its noisy top end just to get a usable level.

It's made for quiet microphones: broadcast and podcast dynamics, live vocal and instrument mics, and passive ribbon mics. The compact all-metal body plugs straight onto the mic cable, so there's no extra box on the desk or the floor.

Features

  • Adds +28dB of clean gain to low-output dynamic and passive ribbon microphones
  • Compact inline design: XLR in, XLR out
  • Low output impedance keeps the signal clean, even on long cable runs
  • Buffered output delivers consistent gain regardless of load
  • All-metal construction
  • Great for podcasting, broadcast, streaming, home recording and live sound

Using it with a wireless in-ear or mic transmitter

The PA28 runs on 48V phantom power. Most mixers and interfaces supply it, but wireless transmitters usually don't. To run a mic through the PA28 into a transmitter, for example a kick drum mic feeding a bass player's wireless in-ear system, add the battery-powered Xvive P1 phantom power supply between the PA28 and the transmitter.

Note: use the PA28 with dynamic or passive ribbon microphones only, not with condenser or active ribbon mics. The gain is fixed at +28dB, with no level control.
