Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-2 Overview

The two-channel Cloudlifter CL-2 and the single-channel Cloudlifter CL-1 both provide up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain with fixed impedance loading at 3kΩ, optimized for a wide variety of microphones. Designed to improve the sensitivity and performance of lower-output microphones dramatically. Whether you’re using an expensive, professional-grade microphone/preamp combination or common microphones with a basic home setup, Cloudlifters provide way more signal from the microphone itself, allowing the preamp to operate in its optimal gain range by reducing the amount of gain needed. This reduces noise and distortion, bringing more of the microphone’s natural character into focus. For those recording professionally, at home, or performing on stage, Cloudlifters are valuable tools that produce high-quality, professional audio.

Up to +25 dB of Gain

Hear more of your dynamic and ribbon microphone’s natural character and increase the clarity with +25dB of ultra-clean gain. Cloudlifters provide ultra-clean gain in two distinct stages while optimizing impedance loading. The Cloudlifter uses +48v Phantom Power but does not pass power to the mic. For this reason, the Cloudlifter is a great way to keep your ribbon and tube mics safe from exposure to Phantom Power while providing the extra gain they need.

Reduce Unwanted Feedback

As a result of increased sensitivity and ultra-clean gain, the amount of gain required by the preamp is reduced significantly. This also reduces noise and improves the natural frequency response of the mic by allowing the preamp or interface to operate within its comfort zone!

Active Ultra-Clean Gain

Provides up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain in two distinct stages and optimal impedance loading for dynamic, ribbon and Tube mics to perform their best.

Plug & Play

Simply connect your passive mic to the input and connect the output to a mixer, interface or preamp with +48v phantom power engaged. The Cloudlifter does the rest.

Premium Electronics

The Cloudlifter’s patented discrete JFET circuitry preserves the source’s natural sound while keeping the direct audio path clear of transformers, capacitors, and resistors.

Reduce Feedback

The Cloudlifter allows you to cut through the mix on stage with increased gain before feedback.

Phantom Powered

Turns Phantom Power into gain and clarity without passing it through to your delicate ribbon mic.

Made in the USA

Rugged, road-ready, and portable. Manufactured responsibly in the USA. Free lifetime limited warranty.
