Designed for professionals, it offers rugged durability and low noise performance, making it an essential tool for enhancing mic signals without external power or complicated setups. ## Description This high-quality preamp provides up to +25 dB of gain, boosting the signal from dynamic or ribbon microphones. The rugged, compact design is ideal for professional use. Review: Outstanding value - Excellent product, used on a Samson Q2U which due to the terrible drivers in windows, considerably lowers the microphone's input volume and this product easily resolved that problem adding further decibel range. Now using the SM7B and the combination is performing well with plenty room left in gain via the audio interface module. This is a very good alternative to the cloudlifter. It did introduce white noise via the Shure mic but it's easily eliminated in EQuing without any tonal manipulation. Really good product, plug and play not headaches attached. Review: Good value - works well - The little mic amp arrived well packed and I plugged it in straight away. I have some 1950s Film Industries M8 ribbon mikes, that work well with old analogue, valve equipment and a transistor Nagra recorder. However with modern audio equipment more gain is required. This little gizmo does the trick, lifting the signal by around 20dB whilst offering a compatible impedance for the mike. It operates from the +48v phantom power from the interface/mixer, but does not pass this through to the mike. This is important for older instruments. I did hatch up an battery powered op-amp lifter, but was disappointed by the noise. The Klark Teknik C1 has a low noise floor (I assume due to its use of FET semiconductors) whilst rendering mellifluous tones from my venerable old ribbon microphones. I have no hesitation in recommending this item to anyone requiring a boost to a mike signal. ## Features - Dynamic mic booster adds extra gain to your sound - High-quality preamp provides up to +25 dB of gain - Phantom powered with no need for external power supply - Works with almost any dynamic or passive ribbon microphone - Rugged, road-worthy construction for years of dependable use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08BS26QQ1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 10,168 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 11 in Preamps | | Colour | multicolour | | Compatible Devices | Amplifier | | Connector | XLR Connector | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (186) | | Date First Available | 24 Jun. 2020 | | Item Weight | 140 g | | Item model number | 000-E2N00-00010 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 6.1 x 6.43 x 19.91 cm; 140 g | ## Images ![Mic Booster Ct 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QVLp4aImL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be used with a condenser mic?** A: No. To power a condenser mic you need to apply phantom power. However, the CT 1 needs phantom power to operate, which prevents that power moving further along to the mic so it will not be powered. The CT 1 is used for low gain dynamic microphones to negate the need to increase gain on the mixer itself which arises feedback. It does an excellent job in that role. Hope this helps **Q: I was wondering what the warranty is on this product? And how its working for everyone that has one? Any cons?** A: My Klerk teknik is the ct1 mic booster .works very well .not needed the warranty .sorry.. **Q: Does it come with a cable?** A: No, you need a second mic cable to use it. **Q: Does my mixer need to have phantom power for this to work? I have a sm58 mic plugged into a pioneer djm s9 but the mixer preamp is not great.** A: Yes, they’ll need phantom power to boost the signal - I’m using the cheapest version with a behringer usb mixer and I don’t think it offers more than around 18v of phantom power but it works great. So as long as your mixer/interface has some level of power running to the device, it will work great. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding value *by P***T on 5 September 2025* Excellent product, used on a Samson Q2U which due to the terrible drivers in windows, considerably lowers the microphone's input volume and this product easily resolved that problem adding further decibel range.

I wanted to minimise my desktop clutter and free up some space. This little beauty works without issue and the difference is noticeable immediately with it's clean sounding boost and allowed me to cut the mixer out of the loop.
