sE Electronics DM1 Dynamite is an ultra-compact active inline preamplifier designed for dynamic and passive ribbon microphones, delivering clean +28 dB gain boost without adding noise or coloration. Advanced Class-A circuitry with hand-selected FETs and dedicated output buffer enables efficient long cable runs while dramatically reducing RF interference, buzz, and hum. Requires 48V phantom power and pairs perfectly with audio interfaces featuring weak preamps.
The DM1 Dynamite excels with extremely low self-noise (9 µV A-weighted) and wide frequency response (10 Hz – 120 kHz), preserving full dynamic range of the original mic signal. Gold-plated XLR contacts and slim all-metal housing (19 x 96 mm) ensure roadworthy reliability for touring and studio use. Connects directly between microphone and XLR cable – essential for every ribbon and low-sensitivity dynamic mic user.
