KLARK TEKNIK MIC BOOSTER CT 1 Compact Dynamic Microphone Amplifier
MIC BOOSTER CT 1 / CM-1 / CM-2
Thank you for purchasing a Klark Teknik Mic Booster! These compact units add a
significant gain boost to your passive microphone signal to ensure strong,
clear delivery to a mixing board, preamplifier or interface.
note – the CT 1 can also be connected directly to most microphones
Setup Procedure
Warning – either mute the mixer channel, lower the volume all the way, or turn off the speaker system before making connections.
- Connect a fairly short balanced XLR cable (<30 feet) from the microphone to the input of your Mic Booster. Note that phantom power cannot be passed to condenser mics, and therefore they shouldn’t be used along with a mic booster unit.
- Connect the output of the Mic Booster to a mixer, preamp, or interface via a balanced XLR cable. Long cable runs can be used for this connection if necessary, but high-quality XLR cables with low capacitance are recommended to avoid high-frequency degradation.
- Engage phantom power on the mixer or other receiving equipment.
- Check the gain setting on the receiving channel of your mixer or interface since the signal will be much greater than typical mic levels.
