Cloudlifter CL-1 Activator Clean Microphone Preamplifier

Features: Phantom power supply, high impedance input. Cloud Microphones CL-1 Cloudlifter 1-channel microphone amplifier for active gain of dynamic and ribbon microphones. It's all about gain and impedance. While some of the best sound quality microphones are low-output moving-coil and ribbon microphones, pre-amplification can be challenging due to gain and impedance requirements.

Cloudlifter solves this problem by providing strong in-line gain for passive microphone signals - ultra-clean gain of up to +25db, while properly loading the microphone transformer for optimal performance. The Cloudlifter CL-1 microphone activator is easy to use and compact enough to solve common audio problems in the field and in the studio.

The CL-1 is designed for all passive microphones, including ribbon microphones, to safely use any standard phantom powered microphone input device, providing ultra-clear, transparent gain up to +25db. Cloudlifters significantly improves the performance of passive microphone signals by delivering stronger, purer signals over longer XLR cables, making it ideal for broadcast, live and studio applications. The CL-1 features a rugged steel housing with excellent shielding and can also be mounted on a stage or stand using an included harness. Cloudlifters is recommended to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and performance of the passive microphone/preamp combination as follows. Directly enter the DAW screen to record. Loud or low gain preamplifiers. Mixers/preamplifiers that have a negative effect on sound at high gain Settings. Recording softer sound sources, such as acoustic instruments and vocals. Additional active output up to +25dB for passive microphones.

Provides 2 different levels of ultra net gain. Easy to use self-contained design requiring only phantom power.

Recommended for use with all passive moving-coil microphones. Compatible with tube, battery or power driven microphones. Safe for all passive ribbon microphones, no phantom transmission. Rugged, portable and suitable for recording studio, stage and broadcast.
