SOYUZ / LAUNCHER DELUXE

A unique mic booster that allows you to get colorful saturation and tone. It is also possible to bypass boost and add only saturation.

Color In Stereo
There are various microphone boosters and boxes on the market, but there are surprisingly few products that allow you to enjoy unique and colorful sounds in stereo.
Launcher Deluxe combines a stereo in-line mic preamp with a line-level saturator to give engineers and artists the tools to give them even more tonal options.

Launcher Deluxe adds 26dB of gain and character to two ribbon/dynamic mic sources. You can also bypass the boost and get just the beautiful saturation of any active mic or line-level signal.
Not only does it give you more options for mic settings during live performances, but it also lets you pass line level, making it easy to add depth to your mixes.


Add Character to Mic and Line
Launcher Deluxe employs two independent signal paths to pass mic-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 mic boosters, Launcher Deluxe doesn't have a clean element, but it does give you a colorful saturation and tone that sets it apart from other mic boosters.


More Options
Launcher mode is the best choice for high-quality dynamic and ribbon microphones.
Once you've switched your channel to Launcher mode, simply plug your mic cable into one of the two Neutrik combo jacks on the Launcher Deluxe's ??front plate, then connect the XLR cable from the back to your mic preamp, mixer, or audio interface.
Turning on phantom power allows you to cook up 26dB of additional gain and color via Launcher Deluxe.

Saturate mode adds just the original Launcher's trademark character to mic and line level sources without any gain boost. There is no need to supply phantom power in this mode.
If you're using a condenser mic that requires phantom power, simply turn on phantom power on your mic pre, mixer, or interface, and the mic will be powered through Launcher Deluxe.
