Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator
The Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 adds up to +25 dB of clean gain to a passive microphone, using the phantom power of the preamp it plugs into.
It sits between a dynamic, ribbon, or tube mic and a preamp, mixer, or audio interface with +48 V phantom power turned on. The CL-1 does not pass phantom power on to the mic, so ribbon and tube mics stay protected.
With more signal coming from the mic, the preamp can run at a lower gain setting, which reduces noise.
It works for podcasts, voiceover, dialog, live streaming, Foley, and nature recording, in the studio or live. It can also go after a passive DI box or a wireless receiver in the signal chain. A condenser mic that needs +48 V must get it from its own phantom power supply.
The CL-1 is one channel in a rugged steel chassis. For two mics, the Cloudlifter CL-2 puts two channels in one box for dual mono or stereo use. Cloud Microphones covers the CL-1 with a limited lifetime warranty when it is registered within 60 days of purchase.
