Cloudlifter Z - Elevate Your Sound to the Power of Z. Cloudlifter® Mic Activators® use phantom power from your preamp, interface or mixer to provide up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain, maximizing your microphones’ signal strength and clarity, which lowers the amount of gain required with any preamp and lowering the noise floor. The result is a cleaner, stronger signal that delivers more of the sound of the actual mic itself! The supercharged Cloudlifter CL-Z provides new tonal possibilities with its continuously variable input impedance via a single control - the “Vari-Z knob”. With a continuous range from 150 ohms to 15k ohms, the Vari-Z knob provides ultimate control over your microphone’s character by providing the ability to precisely match – or creatively mismatch – the ideal manufacturer specified impedance of dynamic, tube and ribbon mics. https://www.cloudmicrophones.com/cloudlifter-cl-z

Get Lifted! A Guide to Cloudlifting for the Cloudlifter CL-1, CL-2, and CL-4. These models all work identically respectively providing 1, 2, or 4 channels of Cloudlifting. Maker sure the channel on your preamp, mixer or interface is capable of supplying +48V phantom power. Cloudlifters will not pass a signal without phantom power. You will need phantom power engaged for each channel attached to a Cloudlifter. Step 1: Connect the Cloudlifter's output to a preamp, mixer or interface. Make sure you're using 3-pin XLR to XLR cables (XLR to TRS 1/4" or 1/8" jack will not work. On the rack mountable CL-4, input and outputs are located on the back. Step 2: Connect the Cloudlifter's input to any dynamic, ribbon, or tube condenser microphone. Phantom power will NOT pass through the Cloudlifter, making it safe to use with ribbon microphones. To lift mics that require phantom power, such as contenders, a dedicated external phantom power supply will be needed to power the microphone. Step 3: Start with the gain turned all the way down, then turn on the +48V phantom power on your preamp, mixer or interface. Now, slowly turn up the gain to the desired level. Your microphone is now Cloudlifted! --- For more on the entire line of Cloudlifter products, visit www.cloudmicrophones.com.

http://www.cloudmicrophones.com Nominated for a 2012 TEC Award, the Cloudlifter Z adds an additional +25dB of ultra-clean gain -inline- to your low-output microphones, as well as variable impedance and continuously variable high-pass filtering. These features allow you to take total control over your mics' tone, basically turning a few mics into a new library of available sounds. This works great for dynamic mics, like the Shure SM7b, SM57/58 or EV RE20, bringing new life and greater sensitivity to your recordings. Ribbon mics will have strong clean output, and other mics benefit, too, such as Tube Condensers or Shotgun Mics that have a battery powered option. Other notes: This video uses the Cloud 44-A Ribbon Mic in "V" setting for voice interview Background music recorded at the UofA uses the Cloud JRS-34 Ribbon Mics for French Horn and other instruments Both the JRS-34 and the 44-A use the "Cloudlifter" technology built inside the mics Check out Cloud's social media: http://facebook.com/cloudmicrophones http://www.twitter.com/cloudmics http://www.instagram.com/cloudmics

Many of you have shared common preamp issues with a weak, noisy signal for your dynamic microphones (such as the SM7b). I've been using the CL-1 for years to get a cleaner, louder signal but after trying out the CL-Z, the creative tone shaping possibilities have definitely gone up a notch :) Cloudlifter Z: https://bit.ly/cloud-clz-sd Full Review + more on Variable Impedance: https://seandivine.com/cloudlifter-cl-z-review-and-demo/ Many thanks to Cloud for sponsoring this review!
