We are personally inclined towards dbx tube preamp for voice, it is not so pricy, but it overachieves its purpose and outstanding in important aspects. The DBX gives you quite a bit of control over downward expansion so you can eliminate background noise or problematic room tone without hearing a gate slam in the end result. It is designed to clean up compress and amplify vocals. It allows you to make the voice sound very natural. The detented pots make it easy to adjust repeat setups and closely match 2 mono units.
It is designed to be used with one microphone (or instrument) source connected directly to it. The effects are very user friendly and easy to set up for any voice. The build quality is good, the controls are postive and accurately labeled, and the options it offers make it very flexible.

Really brings the quality of the vocal up a few notches

Compared with other preamp in this category, the triton audio tube preamp for voice has a convenient design. It is an ultra-low noise, high quality, in-line microphone preamplifier. It provides enough extra quiet gain to allow the preamp to silently "loaf" at a much reduced setting while cranking out a strong, clean signal. The Fethead blocks the phantom power from entering the microphone, so it's safe to use. It plugs right into the mic and into the preamp, and works just as well either way using the Shure SM7B. This opens the door to not having to eat the mic to get enough power to record.
The Fit and finish is very good and the tactile feel, the way it solidly clicks in place releases, is excellent. The usable gain range is extremely small.
Why We Like This:
Adds more than enough db for any dynamic mic
Excellent gain and low noise with shure sm7b
Really comes in handy when you need that little bit of gain

If you often find yourself scrambling for appropriate and satisfactory preamp, manayo tube preamp for voice should be your first option for buying. It is more for ribbon or dynamic mics, not condenser. It plugs inline with the microphone XLR cable and runs off of 48v phantom power. It improves signal/noise ratio, getting rid of pesky hiss in your recordings or live performances. It will make the signal coming from the microphone louder, up to a point.
Despite the diminutive size, it is quite capable of boosting the signal of your microphone substantially, giving you the sound output you need. It doesn’t pass phantom power to the mic connected, so it is safe for Ribbon Microphones. This is typically more than offset by running your mixer pre at a lower gain stage, reducing overall system noise. The build quality is excellent and it feels solid.
Why We Like This:
Will be great for ribbon microphones
Noise free gain and lots of it
Affordable clean boost for dynamic and ribbon mics
Simple and effective product designed to be a value buy

The art tube preamp for voice should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. This unit has an unbalanced 1/4” output (so use TS, not TRS cables), and you certainly could use an XLR 1/4” adapter if you want to use the balanced output. The gain control ranges from clean and subtle to fully overdriven, giving you that "telephone" sort of sound often heard in blues-rock. It also powers your condenser mic, so you might consider it in your live rig so that you can use a condenser.
This unit will only give your microphone a "boost" and help control the level while you sing plus give it a "tube" sound, but it will not power your bose sound system. The tone just cuts into the mix much more effectively and has a nice warmth. The level knobs are "dented" and stop at determined spots as you turn them, a nice feature for keeping track of your settings.
Why We Like This:
Sounds killer for guitar or vocals
Tons of gain, nice warmth once you start pushing the tube, and easy-to-use
