Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1

The Cloudlifter CL-1 is an inline microphone preamp that sits in the signal chain between your dynamic or ribbon microphone and your recording device to boost the output of your microphone level, without adding unnecessary hiss and noise from cranking the gain on your interface.

The CL-1 is an easy-to-use, compact solution for common audio problems faced by engineers and performers while in the field or the studio. The CL-1 is designed for all dynamic microphones including ribbons to provide up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain.

An Essential Tool

The CL-1 is an essential tool, whether you are recording into a DAW interface, performing live on stage, producing a podcast, using long cable runs in the studio, miking soft sound sources and using noisy or low gain preamps are just a few of its many uses.

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

Plug & Play

Simply connect your dynamic or ribbon mic to the input and connect a mixer or preamp to the output. The CL-1 does the rest. With 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 CL-1 allows you to cut through the mix on stage with increased gain before feedback.
