Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-X In-Line Preamp

Available from Gear4Music at £149.99 ($190).

The Cloudlifter CL-X Mic Activator is ideal for recording engineers musicians and live performers who need extra gain and tone control for dynamic and ribbon microphones. It provides up to +36 dB of ultra-clean gain lifting low-output mics to usable levels while reducing hiss and unwanted noise. Its custom nickel-core CineMag transformer introduces musical harmonic content giving recordings extra warmth and depth without muddying the sound. By using standard +48V phantom power but blocking it from reaching sensitive mics the CL-X keeps valuable ribbons and tubes safe. Users can switch between a full boost or a more subtle lift to suit changing performance needs. This makes it easy to adapt to any setting from home studios to live stages. With the CL-X achieving clear natural and professional audio becomes much simpler for any user.
