A Must-Have Tool for Dynamics and Ribbons! Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator is an easy to use, compact solution for common audio problems faced in the field and in the studio. Designed for all passive microphones - including ribbons- the CL-1 safely uses any standard phantom powered microphone input device to provide up to +25db of ultra- clean, transparent gain. (Note** CL-1 does not power the microphones using phantom power.) Cloudlifters dramatically improve the performance of passive microphone signals by driving stronger, cleaner signals over longer XLR cable runs, making them ideal for broadcast, live, and studio applications. Enclosed in a rugged steel enclosure offering excellent shielding, the CL-1 additionally has provisions for stage or stand mounting with the included strap. Cloudlifters are recommended for improving the signal to noise ratio and performance of passive microphone/preamp combinations with the following: - Recording direct into a DAW interface - noisy or low gain preamps - mixers/preamps that negatively impact the sound at higher gain setting - passive ribbon microphones - low-output dynamic microphones - miking softer sound sources such as acoustic instruments and voice - long cable runs (output) - Utilizes Patent Pending Class A, Discrete JFET circuitry - Ideal impedance loading for optimal performance @3Kohms - Rugged, road ready and portable, for studio, stage and broadcasting - Free lifetime limited warranty for parts and labor, with registration - Handcrafted entirely in the USA
