The Cloudlifter CL-1 provides up to +25dB of gain that partners with your preamp in amplifying your mics' signal for clean, transparent recordings. With a Cloudlifter in your rig, you can confidently take full advantage of your favorite ribbon mics and other go-to low-output dynamic mics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNoise-free Amplification\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany preamps sound great until you push them, resulting in hiss and crackle produced by the amplifier itself ending up in the mix. The gain boost provided by your Cloudlifter lets your mic pre work more efficiently, giving you the levels you need without the noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstant Ribbon Pre Mod\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRibbon mics are wonderful, but many microphone preamplifiers are simply too weak to get enough signal out of them. A Cloudlifter Mic Activator uses an active circuit powered by your console or preamp’s phantom power to provide up to +25dB of extra gain, effectively transforming even a budget console into a better ribbon preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTotally Transparent Boost\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCloud Microphones designed their Cloudlifter series around direct-coupled, Class A discrete JFET circuitry engineered to preserve the natural sound of your mics. No matter how dramatic the impact of this transparent technology may be on your recordings, you can be sure you're hearing your microphone at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEssential for Long Cable Runs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you work in a large, multi-room studio or an auditorium, then you won't believe what a difference a Cloudlifter can make. With its extra gain to drive your signal, even cable runs stretching hundreds of feet won’t drain the life out of your sound.
