Add colors in stereo In a world full of boosters and microphone enclosures, there's a surprising lack of options that deliver unique, colorful sounds in stereo. The Launcher Deluxe changes that. This in-line stereo mic preamp and line-level saturator expands on the original Launcher's winning formula to give engineers and artists an indispensable tool they can use anywhere. The Launcher Deluxe lets you add 26dB of gain and color to two separate ribbon and dynamic mic sources or bypass the amplification and simply get a dose of nice overdrive on any active microphone or signal line level. Whether you need to boost a bland mic, spice up a sterile source, add depth to your mixes, or expand your sound live, Launcher Deluxe can help make your sound stand out.
Impeccable quality The Launcher Deluxe uses two separate signal paths to pass mic and line level signals through the unit. Each individual path features two custom hand-wound toroidal transformers and the same analog circuitry that gave the original launcher its distinct color and vibe. Unlike other microphone amplifiers, the Launcher Deluxe has nothing of its own. You'll get a powerful dose of stereo color, which you can control by driving your preamp as little or as much as you want.
A Squared Launcher When we launched the original Launcher in 2019, the audio world fell in love with our pint-sized ivory box. This simple tool provided easy access to the dreamlike warmth and rich character of classic-era studio equipment. With more and more creators using multiple launchers for live performance, recording sessions, stereo summing, and creative experimentation beyond microphones, we began to consider a stereo version of the box with more flexibility. And, just like that, Launcher Deluxe was born.
