Your audio sounds quiet.
It's not the mic.
Great broadcast mics need more gain than most interfaces can cleanly give. The Cloudlifter CL-1 adds up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain before your input — no hiss, no noise, no new interface. Just plug it in and hear the mic you paid for.
without the noise.
HOW IT WORKS
One solution between your mic and your interface.
The Cloudlifter turns the phantom power your interface already has into clean gain — before your preamp ever touches the signal. No batteries. No settings. No learning curve.
SM7B, RE20, PodMic — any dynamic or ribbon mic. XLR out.
Adds up to +25dB of transparent gain using your interface's phantom power — none of it reaches the mic.
Preamp relaxes at low gain. Result: broadcast level, silent noise floor.
Cranking your mixer or interface is where noise gets introduced. The Cloudlifter does the lifting so your preamp doesn't have to.
Our patented Cloudlifter circuitry keeps the signal path clean. It's your mic's authentic sound, loud and clear.
Cloud licensed the patented technology to Shure for use in the popular active SM7dB microphone, the newest in the legendary SM7 lineage. The original still lives in this box.
PICK YOUR LIFT
Same clean gain. Three ways to get it.
The full +25dB in an inline barrel that plugs straight into your mic or stand. Built with Neutrik. Zero desk space.
The box that started it all — the industry-standard companion to the SM7B. One channel of patented, ultra-clean gain.
The original CL-1 for the studio plus the Mini CL-25 on a keychain for the road — every setup covered, one bundle.

IN STUDIOS EVERYWHERE
The box behind the voices you already listen to.
“Perfect little device! Got this to boost my Shure SM7B on my Scarlett 6i6. Does it fantastically! Painless and easy setup.”
“Literally a must-have if you're using your SM7B for anything professional; voiceovers, work, whatever it may be. Feels premium, works great, no issues out of the box, and super easy to set up - literally just plug and play.”
“This thing is a game changer and gives NIGHT AND DAY difference when using it vs not using it. Excellent quality and craftsmanship. I'm so happy I bought it, it's worth it and if you're on the fence then just BUY IT! You won't regret it!”
STILL DECIDING?
Do I actually need a Cloudlifter?
Yes, Cloudlifters dramatically improve your microphone's performance. While most preamps sound great in the middle of their gain range, that last one-third of the gain range is where noise can occur. Cloudlifters mitigate this by giving you more of the actual microphone itself, upfront and unaltered.
No, Cloudlifters are completely self contained. They run entirely on the +48V phantom power provided by your interface or mixer.
Cloudlifters are designed to last a lifetime. Every unit includes a lifetime-limited warranty to the original owner. Whether you have questions setting up your new Cloudlifter, or you have issues down the line, Cloud's support team has always got you covered!
