Product Overview

Silent Power for Your Microphones

The HyperDrive acts as a "turbocharger" for your mic signal. Many legendary dynamic and ribbon mics (like the SM7B or vintage ribbons) have very low output, often forcing users to push their preamps into noisy territory. The HyperDrive solves this by providing a massive, high-fidelity boost at the source, allowing you to hear the pure sound of your microphone rather than the limitations of your interface's gain stage.

Product Description

Class A Discrete Gain:

The internal circuitry is a Class A discrete design, which means it uses high-quality individual components rather than cheap integrated circuits. This results in a gain stage that is exceptionally linear and transparent. When you add the HyperDrive to a standard dynamic mic, the result is a detailed and open sound that rivals expensive studio condenser microphones.

Switchable Gain Levels:

Unique in its class, the HyperDrive features a toggle switch that allows you to choose between 1X (23dB) or 2X (46dB) of gain. This flexibility ensures you can tailor the boost to the specific needs of your sound source—using the lower setting for louder instruments or the massive 46dB boost for extremely quiet sources like a distant acoustic guitar or a soft-spoken podcast guest.

Rugged and Versatile Setup:

Housed in a sleek black metal chassis, the HyperDrive is built to withstand the rigors of touring and daily studio use. Its compact size allows for two convenient connection methods: you can plug it directly into your microphone or connect it directly to your preamp/interface input. This flexibility helps minimize signal degradation and interference over long cable runs.
