■ Product Features
● Enables microphone input on AV equipment without a microphone input terminal.
● The input terminal accepts φ6.3 standard plugs and φ3.5 mini plugs* to match your microphone.
● Switchable between mono and stereo microphones to match your microphone. Supports plug-in power.
● Metal body and compact size.
● AC adapter included. This microphone amplifier enables microphone input on devices without microphone inputs, such as MD decks and mini-components. Connect a microphone to your device for clear sound recording and amplification.
■Product Concept
Recent MD decks and boomboxes often lack microphone inputs and only offer line-level inputs for recording.
Therefore, there is a demand for affordable and compact microphone amplifiers that allow microphone input into devices with only line inputs.
This unit is extremely useful, for example, for recording piano performances at home using your existing deck, or for simple sound amplification using a boombox in business settings.
The unit features low-noise circuitry, and its vibration- and shock-resistant metal body is palm-sized and space-saving.

*This unit is not battery-powered.
