Are you wondering what the item pictured below is? It’s the preamp used with a low output dynamic microphone. I completed it a couple of days ago. It’s used for boosting the output level of a microphone so that the sound is louder and the noise level is lower. There’s no need to increase the gain control on your mixer. There are at least a couple of manufactured products out there [‘cloud lifter’ and ‘fet head’] that sell for an average cost of $200-$230 but you have a chance to win this one made and tested by me on June 1 by simply sending your name and address to oshawarocks@hotmail.com. Your information will go into a drum along with the names of others and one will be chosen on air. It has a female XLR input jack and a male XLR output jack. The preamp is powered by the phantom power coming from a mixer. Of course the phantom power’s voltage does not get to the microphone. I have been putting off using my ribbon microphone because I needed to increase the gain level on my mixer and this, of course, brought up the noise level. But after connecting the ribbon mic to my preamp- what a world of difference!! I could hardly believe it. Sitting over a foot away from the mic sounds as though I am three inches away from it. You will be listening to me from now on as I use boosters on the microphones at Oshawa Rocks. I call them ‘fet-lifters’. Your chances of being chosen so far are excellent because NO ONE has...

Hi and welcome once again to the archive of my live music program. Please let a friend know about this website so that I will see the numbers of listeners increase each week. It it happening very slowly and I am grateful for that. Remember that I have a contest on where the winner gets one of my preamps that allows a dynamic microphone to work with the phantom power from an audio mixer, for example. Just write me at oshawarocks@hotmail.com and I will place your name along with others for a chance to win. This preamp is almost identical to one called ‘ The cloud Lifter’. I know that anyone who is a musician and/or has a recording studio knows what these are. The manufactures ones sell close to $200.00 and your chance is a good chance of winning this for yourself or a musician friend. Just ask her or him and you will find out what I am talking about. Now enjoy the music for this week and see you next Monday night beginning at 8pm eastern time. Len Jeffrey. ...

http://www.oshawarocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/rec_03_02_2020_0.mp3 Hi once again and welcome to a new month and to a new program where I play a little bit of country and a little bit of rock and roll. I quickly mentioned a small contest at the end of my broadcast where the winner will receive a microphone preamp. It’s my version of the one called ‘Cloud Lifter’. Cloud Lifters sell from anywhere between $200 and up. They amplify the low level outputs of certain microphones like the Shure model SM7. Plus mics such as ribbon microphones. These mics are dynamic types and do not require phantom power. The voltage from your phantom power coming from your mixer does not reach these microphones. It just powers the preamp that boosts their output. If you are interested in this contest, just send your name and mailing address to oshawarocks@hotmail.com. Your name will go into a drum and on June 1’s Monday night broadcast the winner will be announced. Enjoy the music and tell your friends about this ‘station’. Thanks. Len. ...

First off I want to let you know that, as I mentioned when I was live, I do not make any money operating this website. I rely on the listeners to donate whatever they wish so that I can keep this going. You can really help me out by donating any amount that you can afford or if you are not able to, please let your media friends, family and even co-workers know about this site. Heck, I let strangers know about it. What if I were to send you a bunch of Oshawa Rocks business cards? I also mentioned that I would be happy to send you photos of the Oshawa rocks studio plus other interesting items at no cost. Just drop me a line at oshawarocks@hotmail.com requesting them. Be sure to tell me where you’re writing in from. I’ll be back next Monday night at the same time-8pm eastern. Now enjoy the music! Len. ...
