Details
I/O: 3-pin male/female XLR in/out; does NOT pass phantom power through to the connected mic
Notes: FLAG: device_class set to 'Preamp' per instructions (functions like a Cloudlifter — inline phantom-powered gain booster with custom hand-wound transformer, +26dB gain, primarily for dynamic/ribbon mics). FLAG: does NOT pass 48V phantom power through to the connected microphone (safe for ribbons) — this is the opposite behavior of a typical phantom-passthrough device, worth noting for search/filtering. FLAG: country_of_manufacture is USA (hand-built at Soyuz's Los Angeles facility), NOT Russia — differs from the Russian-made microphone line. Max output 8.3 dBV (2.6V) at 0.5% THD; output noise 8 uV (JIS-A); current consumption 5.0 mA.
