SOYUZ / LAUNCHER DELUXE

A unique microphone booster that delivers richly colored saturation and tone. It can also be used to bypass the boost and add only saturation.

Color In Stereo

While various microphone boosters and boxes exist on the market, surprisingly few products offer a unique and colorful sound in stereo.

The Launcher Deluxe combines a stereo in-line microphone preamp and line-level saturator, providing engineers and artists with a tool to offer even more tonal options.

The Launcher Deluxe adds 26dB of gain and character to two ribbon/dynamic microphone sources. It's also possible to bypass the boost and obtain only the beautiful saturation of any active microphone or line-level signal.

This not only increases the options for live microphone settings, but also makes it easy to add depth to mixes by allowing line-level signals to pass through.

Add Character to Mic and Line

The Launcher Deluxe employs two independent signal paths for microphone-level and line-level signals.

Each circuit features two custom hand-wound toroidal transformers and the same analog circuitry as the original Launcher.

Unlike other microphone boosters, the Launcher Deluxe doesn't offer a clean element, but it provides a rich saturation and tone unlike any other microphone booster.

More Options

Launcher mode is the ideal choice for enhancing the sound quality of dynamic and ribbon microphones.

Simply switch the channel to Launcher mode, plug your microphone cable into one of the two Neutrik combo jacks on the Launcher Deluxe's ??front plate, and connect the XLR cable from the back to your microphone preamp, mixer, or audio interface.

Turning on phantom power allows you to cook up an additional 26dB of gain and color through the Launcher Deluxe.

Saturate mode adds only the original Launcher's trademark character to microphone or line-level sources without gain boost. Phantom power is not required in this mode.

If you are using a condenser microphone that requires phantom power, simply turn on phantom power on your microphone preamp, mixer, or interface, and the microphone will be powered through the Launcher Deluxe.
