Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1

Product Information

In fact, I used it extensively in my recent podcast microphone shootout, because it let me run my DAW inputs comfortably in the middle of their gain range, leaving plenty of headroom for matching gain across microphones. It inevitably takes time to find out just how much worse user conditions can be than what a designer like me originally anticipates. There's usually some sweet spot (often around 1 or 2 o'clock), but depending on where I want this source to sit in the mix, I may go darker or brighter (to taste). Considering the megawatt electromagnetic assault coming from across the street the CL-2 performs very well indeed. The mic activator lets your microphone preamp work more efficiently and provides an ideal solution for common audio problems such as hiss and crackles.

Step into the world of Cloud Ribbon Microphones, delivering a vintage RCA lineage for a rich and detailed classic ribbon mic sound tailored to contemporary music's demands. Main FeaturesGives passive mics up to +25dB additional active outputProvides 2 distinct stages of ultra-clean gainEasy to use self contained design requires only phantom powerRecommended for use with.In this section, DRT learns the drumbeat you want to keep and the plug-in finds all similar beats on the track.

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.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. Vintage King co-founder Michael Nehra shares some of his love, knowledge, and practical advice for diving into the world of vintage audio gear, and then takes us behind the scenes for a walk through. The ClouldLifter is handcrafted in Tucson, USA, using only environmentally friendly methods and has a Lifetime warranty for parts and labour.

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.The CL-1 is ideal for 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. In large venues, it boosts the signal enough to drive your signal over long XLR cables ensuring optimum sound quality. If you have problems with radio interference from long cables to your ribbon mics, then the CL-1 would probably help you. Putting the Cloudlifter in-line did usually result in a slightly more forward and robust sound from the microphones, but I found the difference to be fairly subtle with all the microphones I tested.

This means that once the product is delivered, you'll have 60 days to decide that you definitely want to keep it.The Cloudlifter CL-1 is only necessary when you can’t get your microphone loud enough on your recording when the gain knob is turned up.
