MA-1 is a microphone amplifier specifically designed for dynamic microphones and ribbon microphones, focusing purely on functionality and eliminating any redundant design. Without indicator lights or adjustment buttons, its minimalist metal housing features only balanced XLR input and output connectors.

The sturdy all-metal housing provides reliable EMI shielding and physical protection, while the non-slip rubber pads on the bottom further ensure stability. Suitable for both stage and studio environments, it effectively resists vibrations and impacts, offering stable protection.

MA-1 key advantages：

Any dynamic microphone can achieve clean gain.  

Eliminate the possibility of the microphone being damaged by phantom power. 

Simple to use, no complex operations required. 

Higher cost-effectiveness.

The MA-1 preamp is mainly used in the recording of dynamic microphones and passive ribbon microphones, providing clean and stable gain enhancement to delicately present their signature sound.

The choices of MA series preamps are far from limited to this - in addition to the single-channel MA-1, there are also multi-channel designed MA-2, as well as the more professional MA-3 and MA-3P.

For recording engineers or streamers who have higher requirements for sound quality and a wider range of use environments, the variable impedance adjustment and high-pass filter function provided by MA-3P can easily cope with complex recording environments and achieve more flexible frequency response adjustment.

User Evaluation

So, how does the MA-1 actually perform? No need for excessive words. In the following video comparison, you will directly hear its sound charm.

The MA-1 preamp, which has collectively won the hearts of professional content creators, is so impressive. Please watch the following video to find out what makes it so powerful.

If you are using the Shure SM7B, you should really consider pairing it with the MA-1. What impresses me the most is its ability to keep the noise floor extremely clean without having to push the gain to excessive levels. Many preamps, in an attempt to reduce noise, end up pushing the sound too hard, resulting in a harsh and unnatural tone. However, the MA-1 does not do this. It preserves all the intricate details that should be retained and eliminates any background noise without leaving a trace.

Active Ultra-Clean Gain

+25dB pure signal enhancement with optimal impedance matching, to unlock the best performance of dynamic microphones and ribbon microphones. Eliminates the common issue of inherent noise found in traditional preamps.

Plug and play

Simply connect the dynamic microphone or ribbon microphone to the input (INPUT), and the mixer or audio interface to the output (OUTPUT). The rest is handled by the MA-1 preamp.

High-Quality Circuit Design

-Discreet FET amplifier circuitry for passive signal processing.

-Eliminates secondary interference from transformers, capacitors, and resistors, preserving the natural sound of the audio source.

Phantom Power Supply

The MA-1 preamp converts the received phantom power into electrical energy required for gain enhancement and clarity improvement, without damaging the microphone.
