When we first started this podcast, inline preamp mic boosters were not well known or widely available until the Cloudlifter. Now, there are countless varieties in wide ranging prices. Jon just built the MB-2 kit from DIY Recording Equipment so we thought this would be a good time to revisit the mic booster topic.
