Cloudlifter Cl-Z
Elevate Your Sound
to the Power of 

For those of you that love your Cloudlifter CL-1, we have a question for you: what do you need from your next Cloudlifter? More Channels or More Control? Check out the full line of Cloudlifters at: www.cloudmicrophones.com.

http://www.cloudmicrophones.com 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.

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!

Cloudlifters provide up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain, maximizing the microphones' signal strength and clarity, which lowers the noise floor and amount of gain required with any preamp. By allowing preamps to operate in a more comfortable gain range, the frequency response remains more intact and the self- noise of the preamp is reduced. Character Control using Variable Input Impedance Loading The CL-Z provides up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain, variable input impedance and a variable high-pass filter. Having an input impedance control that is sweepable from 150 ohms to 15k ohms allows you to creatively load the microphones' output transformer, with the result being a wide range of new tonal variations becoming available to each mic. Variable High-Pass Filtering = Proximity Effect Control The variable high-pass filtering works in conjunction with the impedance value, allowing for even more tonal shaping and control. When engaged, the frequency cutoff is affected by the impedance setting. This allows for a sweep-able frequency cutoff range from below 20hz to approximately 200hz, just by turning the "Z" knob. This can be especially useful for tonal shaping or reducing the proximity effect of a ribbon or dynamic microphone. Variable Gain The CL-Z has a two-position gain switch allowing for more gain, or the maximum gain available. Most of the time the MAX (approx. +25db) position will be used, however, the reduced gain setting (approx. +12dB) may be useful in situations where the source does not require as much gain, or where more of the preamps' color from additional gain is desired. Features: - Fully sweepable variable impedance loading from 150ohms to 15kohms - High-Pass Filter frequency is variable from below 20hz to over 200hz - Dual gain settings allow for a +12dB or +25dB increase - Increases gain before feedback ratio in live & public address performances -- Easy to use self contained design requires only phantom power - Compatible with tube, battery, or power supply driven microphones - Protects any passive ribbon with no transfer of phantom - Utilizes Patent Pending Class A ,Discrete JFET circuitry - Rugged, road ready and portable, for studio, stage and broadcasting - Free lifetime limited warranty for parts and labor, with product registration -- Handcrafted entirely in the USA Responsibly Manufactured to Last a Lifetime The CL-Z, like all Cloudlifters and Cloud® Microphones, carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty to the original owner, with product registration, and are completely made in the USA, using environmentally responsible methods.
