Description: Indispensable Mic Activator with Character Control The Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-Z mic activator uses phantom power from your preamp to solve an array of common issues with dynamic and ribbon microphones while maximizing your signal's quality, making it a must-have box for your studio or live toolset. It's designed to be a middleman between your mic and preamp, maximizing signal quality while driving long cable runs. The direct-coupled, discrete JFET circuitry preserves your signal's integrity while the Cloudlifter CL-Z goes to work. You get control over the input impedance to get the best out of any mic, and a variable output level (+12 to +24dB) so you can drive even the longest cable runs with ease. You even get a variable low-cut filter to clean up your signal before it ever graces your preamp. Whether you run live sound or just use a variety mics on a daily basis in Sweetwater is an Authorized Cloud Microphones Dealer Genuine Open Box Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-Z 1-channel Mic Activator with Variable Mic Activator with Variable Input Impedance, Variable Low-cut Filter, Adjustable Output Level, and Transparent Signal Path Indispensable Mic Activator with Character Control The Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-Z mic activator uses phantom power from your preamp to solve an array of common issues with dynamic and ribbon microphones while maximizing your signal's quality, making it a must-have box for your studio or live toolset.

Whether you run live sound or just use a variety mics on a daily basis in your studio, you'll love working with the Cloudlifter CL-Z mic activator!Dial in character with variable input impedance loading The Cloudlifter CL-Z provides up to 25dB of clean gain, variable input impedance, and a variable highpass filter. Cloud's patented Vari-Z impedance control is sweepable from 150 ohms to 15k ohms and allows you to creatively load a mic's output transformer, opening up a broad range of tonal variations for each microphone.Noise-free amplification Many preamps sound great until you push them, when all of the hiss and crackle produced by the amplifier itself end up in the mix. The gain boost provided by your Cloudlifter lets your mic preamp work more efficiently, allowing you to get the levels you need, without the noise.Totally transparent boost Cloud Microphones designed their Cloudlifter series around direct-coupled, discrete JFET circuitry, engineered to preserve the natural sound of your mics. So, no matter how dramatic of an impact this transparent technology may have on your tone, you can be sure you're really just hearing your mic at its best.Instant ribbon preamp mod Ribbon mics are wonderful, but many microphone preamplifiers are simply too weak to get enough signal out of them. A Cloudlifter Mic Activator will turn your preamp's harmful phantom power into as much as +25dB of extra gain, turning even a budget model into an effective ribbon preamp.Essential for long cable runs If you work in a large, multi-room studio or an auditorium like the Sweetwater Performance Theater, you won't believe what a difference a Cloudlifter will make. With its extra gain boost to drive your signal, even cable runs over hundreds of feet won't drain the life out of your sound.Cloud Microphones CL-2 Cloudlifter Features: Dual gain settings for 12dB or 25dB of noise-free amplification Variable impedance loading, sweepable from 150 ohms to 15k ohms Highpass filter frequency variable from under 20Hz to over 200Hz Improves mic gain-before-feedback ratio in live/PA applications Easy-to-use; requires only phantom power Compatible with dynamic, ribbon, tube, battery, or power-supply driven microphones Protects passive ribbon mics with no transfer of phantom power Discrete, Class A JFET circuitry and Cloud's patented Vari-Z user interface Portable and roadworthy for studio, onstage, and broadcast use Free lifetime limited warranty for parts and labor with product registration Manufactured responsibly in Cloud Microphones' Tucson, Arizona factory SpecificationDetail Type Mic Activator Channels 1 Inputs 1 x XLR Outputs 1 x XLR RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
