Royer Labs has launched the dBooster2 Dual Channel Mic Lifter and DI, providing two-channels with either channel able to double as a super clean DI for electric guitars and bass or any unbalanced mono or stereo input.

dBooster2 adds quarter-inch audio inputs with the same high fidelity as its Lo-Z inputs. The unit’s Hi-Z inputs can be switched between 0dB and +8dB of gain, and the two channels are completely independent from one another, enabling use of one channel, for example, on guitar while the other channel accommodates a microphone.

Wioth class-A input stages, the unit is designed like the front end of a high-end preamp, more than doubling the mic’s original input signal to quadrupling it while maintaining an headroom with no loss of gain, regardless of the mic and preamp being used.

When using the dBooster2’s DI inputs, users can select 0dB (unity) gain, or switch to 8dB of gain if more level is required, still taking advantage of the dBooster’s ultra-clean high-end electronics. In mic mode, the 20dB setting quadruples the input signal, providing clean boost for recording softer instruments and vocalists. For higher level sources, users can switch to the 12dB setting to keep from overloading the preamp or digital interface with unmatched dynamic range.

‘The dBooster2 is the audiophile mic lifter,’ says Royer Labs VP of Sales & Marketing, Dave Bryce. ‘There truly is nothing else on the market that performs or sounds anywhere near it. Being designed like the front end of a high-end preamp, it delivers immaculate sonic performance. The dBooster2 is not just louder, it’s better in every way. I encourage musicians and audio engineers alike to check it out.’
