Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1

Product Information

This will start your application with Klarna Retail Finance or V12 Retail Finance, our finance partners, and completing this form should take approximately 10 minutes. Enclosed in a rugged steel enclosure offering excellent shielding, the CL-1 is ideal for stage or stand mounting with an included strap. In the demo version, the MIDI is generated at C3, but you can change that to C1 or any other configuration in the paid version.

One thing about the Cloudlifter became clear in this situation; if the mic itself is inherently noisy, the Cloudlifter is going to amplify that noise along with the desired signal. This delivers an incredible amount of bandwidth at normal input levels, whilst also providing variable amounts of harmonic and saturation as the input signal increases.Phantom-powered JFET circuitry allows for an extra jump in quiet output volume before the mic preamp. Recording quiet instruments with low-output mics can often sound wonderful, tonally, but can be problematic in terms of noise floor from the microphones themselves or from preamps without ample quiet gain.

DPA's approach when creating the d:vote CORE 4099G Instrument Microphone was to create a mic that is equally at home on the stage and in the studio. The RE15 is often good for a certain “vintage” acoustic guitar tone, but its low output can be an issue in terms of noise. While the CL-1 Cloudlifter is a somewhat niche product, it’ll help in a pinch if you’re on-location or need to clear up your desk a bit.One of the findings from my first review is that the Cloudlifter delivers at least 20dB of gain as clean or cleaner than any of my preamps.

The HPF certainly does add more possibilities, but since that one knob is effectively dual function now, you can't really use it the same way as a typical filter. This thing makes my RE320 sound like an RE3200 it adds much more needed voltage with +48v phantom power. Because of the height there are at least twenty radio and TV stations which transmit from atop the building.

From stage to studio, the Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter Mic Activator lets you get the best possible audio output from your low-output dynamic and ribbon microphones. Imagine you’re running an old Mackie mixer at a club, and the singer’s SM58 is at the other end of a 100′ snake. For this review, I focused on two applications of the device, both using moving-coil dynamic microphones.
