Cloud Microphones CL-1 Mic Booster Bundle with 2 Extra Cables for Professional Use

The Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator is a sleek, single-input solution ingeniously designed to address common audio challenges in both field and studio settings, particularly when dealing with low-output passive microphones, including ribbons. Harnessing the power of standard phantom-powered mixers or inputs, it delivers an impressive +25 dB of clean, uncolored gain, enhancing signal-to-noise ratio and significantly boosting the performance of passive mics. By amplifying weak signals over extended XLR cables, the CL-1 shines in broadcast, live, and recording scenarios.

Built within a robust steel housing, the CL-1 ensures shielding and durability, with options for stage or stand mounting. Its key feature, the Transparent Gain, provides passive mics with a remarkable +25 dB boost in active output, maintaining a pristine audio path free from transformers, capacitors, and resistors. The device relies on discrete JFET circuitry, preserving the natural tonal qualities of the source while delivering clean gain.

Perfect for use with noisy or low-gain preamps, the CL-1 caters to situations where high gain settings may negatively impact sound quality. It's equally effective with low-output dynamic microphones and ribbon mics, gently amplifying softer sounds like acoustic instruments and vocals. Its suitability extends to long cable runs, where phantom power alone is sufficient for operation.

The Cloudlifter CL-1 boasts two stages of clean gain, ensuring easy and efficient use. Its compact, self-contained design eliminates the need for additional equipment, making it a go-to choice for all passive dynamic microphones, including those driven by tubes, batteries, or power supplies. It's gentle on passive ribbons without transferring phantom power, and its patent-pending Class A, discrete JFET circuitry optimizes performance at a standard 3 kOhm impedance.

In conclusion, the rugged, portable Cloudlifter CL-1 is a reliable companion for studios, stages, and broadcast environments. Equipped with a Cloud CL-1 unit, two 10-foot XLR cables, and a microfiber cleaning cloth, this kit offers a comprehensive solution to elevate your audio experience. Made in the USA, the CL-1 is a versatile and powerful tool for enhancing the performance of even the quietest passive microphones.
