Cloud Microphones CL-1 Cloudlifter 1-Channel Mic Activator

It’s all about gain and impedance. While some of the best sounding microphones out there are low-output dynamics and ribbons, pre-amplification can be challenging due to the gain and impedance requirements. Cloudlifters address this by giving passive microphone signals a major inline boost -up to +25db of ultra-clean gain- while properly loading the microphones’ transformer for optimal performance.

The Cloudlifter is ® ® CL-1 is completely self contained, driven only by the phantom power from your mixer or preamp. Ideal for dynamics and ribbons alike, the CL-1 turns phantom power into the extra gain required for using passive microphones. The immediate dose of extra gain can make even a budget microphone/preamp combination sound clean and professional. For broadcasting and live sound, the active output signal of the CL-1 can prevent added noise over long cable runs. With endless uses, Cloudlifters are quickly becoming a standard workhorse solution for audio and broadcast professionals.

A Must – Have Tool for Dynamics and Ribbons !

Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator is is is an easy to use , compact solution for common audio problem face in the field and in the studio . design for all passive microphone – include ribbons- the CL-1 is uses safely use any standard phantom powered microphone input device to provide up to +25db of ultraclean , transparent gain .

Cloudlifters is improve dramatically improve the performance of passive microphone signal by drive strong , clean signal over long XLR cable run , make them ideal for broadcast , live , and studio application . enclose in a rugged steel enclosure offer excellent shielding , the CL-1 is has additionally has provision for stage or stand mount with the include strap .

Using patent pending technology that keeps the direct audio path free-andclear of transformers, capacitors, and resistors, the CL-1 houses discrete JFET circuitry that delivers world class, ultra-clean gain while preserving the natural sonic characteristics of the source.

Cloudlifters are recommended for improving the signal to noise ratio and performance of passive microphone/preamp combinations with the following:

• Recording direct into a DAW interface
• noisy or low gain preamps
• mixer / preamp that negatively impact the sound at high gain set
• passive ribbon microphones
• low – output dynamic microphone
• miking softer sound sources such as acoustic instruments and voice
• long cable run ( output )
