DaVinci Device Infinite Box & Pre-Amp + usb interface $449.00

The DaVinci Device 571 is unmatched in versatility for connecting, taming and shaping any sound. This super quiet pre-amp box accepts virtually any source and level and control it for ideal presentation.

With the DaVinci Device you can apply the famous Lampifier dynamic reduction to any microphone, including wireless! It's also perfect for acoustic guitar and bass, to smooth the sound before going directly into a PA.

The secret weapon of the DaVinci Device is the same super-smooth compression technology found within the Lampifier microphones. Here it appears in a stand alone unit with level k**b to control the amount of dynamic reduction to be applied ("Lampification"). The Patented Dynamic Control circuit is then paired with a high-quality 5-band cascaded EQ, and topped off with speaker cabinet simulation. In addition, the 571 also happens to be the world's quietest direct box: 1/4" and XLR inputs with huge headroom due to 0db, -15db, -30db pad options plus level control k**b with peak indicator (accepts anything--instrument level, line level, piezo, XLR) plus ground lift option and even the ability to pass 48v phantom power to a connected XLR mic! Outputs include your choice of Line level, XLR direct out, and USB 44.1k/48k. In other words, it connects virtually anything to anything with unmatched dynamic and tonal shaping control. It can even function as a load box! (See below.)

INPUTS: 1/4" unbalanced, 1/4" TRS, 1/4" piezo picking, XLR. (Dual 1/4" inputs can sum a stereo input to mono.)

OUTPUTS: XLR -10dBu, USB digital 44.1k/48k, 1/4" Line Out -10dBv

To use as a LOAD BOX place the DaVinci between amp and speaker cabinet to tap the amp's signal output and utilize the on board speaker simulator rather than mic'ing the cabinet to achieve 100% isolation (no stage bleed) and therefore better mixing control of the sound. This also allows you to capture the true amp's characteristic directly into a recording system without the volume inherent in mic'ing a real speaker cabinet. For example, you could use headphones to monitor and keep the neighbors and your roommate happy when recording a 1am!

How? Insert the DaVinci in line between the amp and speaker cabinet (100 watt max). Specifically, run a speaker cord from the powered amp output into the Left (mono) 1/4" input of the DaVinci. Select "Thru" on the nearby switch. Connect a second speaker cable from the Thru 1/4" output on the DaVinci to your speaker cabinet. Now, the DaVinci will pass the amp's powered signal thru to the cabinet and tap that signal and also present it to the various outputs: 1/4" line out, USB out and XLR +4dbu out.

POWER: The DaVinci Device 571 can be powered in any of three different ways. It can accept 48v phantom power through it's connected XLR output (running to the mixing board), or it can be battery powered via 9v, or it can be powered by AC adaptor (not included). Note: If you want to pass phantom power to a condenser microphone attached to the 571's XLR input, you MUST use AC power. Neither 48v phantom power nor 9v battery power is enough to power both the 571 and a connect 48v phantom powered mic.

Try one out today. You won't be disappointed.

Lampifier Microphone Model 711 $239.00

The Lampifier Model 711 Professional Microphone is a high performance, phantom powered, large diaphram supercardioid mic paired together with the built-in, patented, fully analog, dynamic reduction circuit. The 711 also features an on-handle switch for easy and quick muting functionality.

Why do we need dynamic reduction? Live sound reinforcement always requires dynamic reduction, since the voice naturally has too much dynamic range for sound reinforcement needs. Whether in music or speaking applications, the lower volume moments will tend to drop out and become at times inaudible, even as strong moments become brash and overly emphasized. Also, the plosives "b" and "p" tend to pop, and sibilents "s" and "sh" can sound harsh. To tame such audio irregularities, we present the on-board, fully analog circuitry inside every Lampifier microphone, which reduces the dynamic range naturally, transparently, and best of all, automatically!

Okay, so we need compression. But what's so special about the Lampifier compression? Well, it's a different animal altogether. Although compression is essential in sound reinforcement, as a rule singers hate it for stage monitoring because the top-down compression on mixing boards reduces dynamics above a set threshold level. Singing into this type of compression tends to cause singers to push even harder to achieve desired (real) dynamics and thus blow out their voice early in the set. The Lampifier circuit, however, operates differently: Harsh plosives and sibilants and strong passages are controlled as light, breathy nuance and subtle detail is increased, yet dynamics are maintained... in the ideal range. So singers can still feel and work with their normal dynamic range, the mic remains dynamically responsive, yet at the same time it delivers to the sound engineer within a controlled range. So it's the best of both worlds. The singer feels their own natural dynamics, but without the harshness or getting buried in the stage mix, and it makes the sound engineers job easier because the levels delivered to the board are already in the ideal range.

Can you get the same thing out of other mics? Sure, with a good soundman and a rack of expensive processing. But for this you must rely on the soundman to get it right. (And let's face it... how often does that really happen?) With the Lampifier mic, it's "set it and forget it." Just plug it in and go! Comparing a Lampifier's self adjusting dynamic tones to a standard dynamic vocal mic is simply an unfair comparison. It's comparing a polished pro sound to a harsh, untamed amateur sound. There is a difference! And it's huge.

Furthermore, the fully analog Lampifier circuitry adds no digital conversion, because it's not a digital circuit. That means we have zero added digital noise or coloration. The sound is warm and real. It's a game changer! Note: Although the dynamic reduction is significant, it's designed to be transparent, without the common artifacts of standard compression technology. So you may not even notice it... it just "sounds better" when you A/B between a Lampifier and another mic. And that's exactly what it's supposed to do!

Built in noise gating, combined with a cardioid pickup pattern, offers added feedback rejection. Also, both the noise gate and the dynamic compression levels are user adjustable (by altering jumpers inside the mic handle) but this is generally unnecessary as the circuit is to a degree, self adjusting--the result of the compression ratio changing automatically based on input signal level. That's largely the magic of the Lampifier technology.

What's the difference between the 711 and the 111(b)? Besides the capsule design and switch, the EQ of the mics are notably different. Where the 111 features an upper midrange boost to help cut through a dense mix (a la the Shure SM58 or Beta58), the Model 711 offers a wider frequency response. The lows are a bit stronger as are the high highs. So the 711 excels on vocals in a less dense mix environment... singer/songwriter or other less competitive sonic environment... where the voice stands apart easily in the mix. In other words, the 711 delivers a "bigger" sound that allows the voice to stand alone in a wide range of frequencies, while the 111 cuts through a dense mix more easily. It's not a matter of better or worse, it's a matter of what EQ is best suited to your voice and your application. Both mics are equally smooth, forgiving, and transparent.

Lampifier Microphone Model 111 $239.00

The Lampifier Model 111 Professional Microphone is a rugged, high performance, phantom powered, large diaphram supercardioid mic with a patented, fully analog, transparent dynamic reduction system built in.

The Lampifier 111(b) is the latest and greatest of the Lampifier microphone lineup! A redesigned circuit board gives an even smoother, crystal-clear sound.

******

Why dynamic reduction? Live sound always has too much dynamic range for ideal sound reinforcement. The on-board, fully analog circuitry inside every Lampifier microphone reduces this range naturally and transparently, rendering dynamics in a more ideal range. But it does so in an entirely different manner than conventional compressors.

Compression and limiting is almost exclusively "top down" which singers generally can't stand! This is because singing through such compression tends to cause singers to push overly hard to get even a bit of the intended dynamics out, and in the process, blow out their voice. So in typical live settings, the signal remains uncompressed, which causes a different problem: Quiet vocals get buried in the stage mix, while loud bit are overemphasized.

The Lampifier circuitry solves this problem ingeniously. Unlike standard compressors, Lampifier's unique compression technology reduces harsh plosives and pushes up light breathy nuances from BOTH directions (up and down) without "crushing" dynamics entirely. So singers can still feel and work with their normal dynamic range and the mic remains dynamically responsive, yet at the same time it actually delivers the levels more within the ideal live range. So singers love it... they can hear both dynamics and nuance... and don't get lost in the stage volume in softer passages.

Can you get the same thing out of other mics? Well, sort of... with a good soundman and a rack of expensive processing. But now you are reliant on the soundman to get it just right. (And let's face it... how often does that really happen?) With the Lampifier mic, it's "set it and forget it." Just plug it in and done! Lampifier's built in self adjusting dynamic circuitry renders any comparison between this mic and others just unfair. There is no comparison!

In addition, the fully analog Lampifier circuitry is basically a high end opto circuit also the lines of the sweet, sought after vintage compressors of days gone by. So it's ultra smooth and warm, with no digital conversion noise or coloration. The sound is real.

Make no mistake; It's a game changer! However, be aware that while the dynamic range reduction is significant, it sounds subtle because it's transparent, without the common artifacts of standard compression technology. So you may not even notice it, apart from the fact that it just "sounds better." And that's exactly what it's supposed to do! Let the mic bring out your best so you can do what you do best... become one with the music!

Finally, built in noise gating, along with a supercardioid pickup pattern, offers significant feedback rejection. And as both the noise gate and the dynamic compression levels are user adjustable (by altering jumpers inside the mic handle), the mic can be customized to your use and volume environment. But alteration is generally unnecessary as the circuit is quite forgiving and largely self adjusting--a result of the compression ratio changing automatically based on input signal level.

Order your Lampifier 111(b) today! You'll be glad you did.
