Warm Lifter
Inline Active Microphone Preamp
Delivering Clean Gain to Low-Output Ribbon & Dynamic Mics with Added Tone-Shaping Features
The Perfect Partner For Low-Output Mics In Studio & On Stage
The Warm Lifter is an inline active microphone preamp designed to provide powerful gain to low output dynamic and ribbon mics and comes with premium features for live & studio use. Warm Lifter puts a balanced, 2.4k Ohm high-impedance mic pre with analog gain, tone filtering, and balanced JFET input at your fingertips at an incredible size and price.
Built To Handle Anything Audio
Having 26dB on tap before hitting digital prevents a mixer or digital interface from being taxed beyond 40dB of onboard digital gain where the likelihood of artifacts and thinning of sound increases. Additionally, the Warm Lifter ensures you have extra headroom necessary to bring out the rich lower-midrange detail and presence that passive ribbons and many dynamic mics are known for, without adding digital gain artifacts or losing tone from aggressively long cable runs. Beyond gain, Warm Lifter also has a 100Hz high-pass filter and a 3kHz high-shelf boost to sculpt tones.
The Warm Lifter JFET input impedance is 2.4k Ohm, and will consistently act as a matchmaker between low output microphones and interfaces/mixers to solve common impedance mismatch problems like signal loss, altered frequency response, and phase issues.
The selectable 100 Hz high-pass filter removes unruly low end frequencies for added clarity and detail. Great for reducing the proximity effect present on vintage ribbons and dynamics.
The selectable 3 kHz high-shelf boost to emphasize the upper-mids and highs for clarity and detail boosted on darker mics. Great for adding clarity and top-end to vintage ribbons and dynamics.
Every single Warm Lifter is meticulously hand tested & inspected at Warm HQ in Austin,TX by real musicians and engineers with passion for superior sound.
