Cablestretcher
IGD-1: inline gain device
The CABLEstretcher will drive your signal over thousands of feet while simplifying your setup & cleaning up your signal. Pocket-sized, no batteries needed, and no moving parts are just a few of the reasons CABLEstretcher is replacing the other leading brands!
priced at $119.99 USD
why you need it?
The CABLEstretcher is an in-line audio gain device with a focus on signal integrity. It provides 26dB of clean gain for dynamic and ribbon microphones with a powerful, low-impedance line driver to ensure your signal arrives with full bandwidth and low noise, even over extremely long cable runs.
Perfect for broadcast technicians, sound engineers, musicians, and podcasters working in both studio and live environments.
Better drive capability
Extremely low output impedance ( <5 ohms) ensures that the signal is not loaded down by by parasitic effects like capacitive and resistive loss, noise, and issues from long cable runs.
Lower noise floor
The integrated preamp provides 26dB of ultra-clean, low-noise gain to dynamic or ribbon microphones, instruments, or other sources.
Small and lightweight
It’s easy to bring a pile of CABLEstretchers to a remote location and deploy, making setup and strike extremely easy.
Self-powered
Many portable preamps in use today require a power supply or batteries. CABLEstretcher is +48v phantom powered, so no more stressing about managing battery life.
Better form factor
Using the same XLR connector form that is found on the cables themselves, no additional patch cables are needed to connect.
Expert Created
The CABLEstretcher was designed by our engineers, who have extensive experience in broadcast and professional studio recording.
how it beats the competitor
Shown below is a performance comparison of the CABLEstretcher vs a leading competitor. In this test we loaded the output with a capacitive load that simulates a beyond worst-case scenario. You will see that the CABLEstretcher is performing adequately, whereas the alternative fails to pass most of the audible signal
