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.
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.
Ribbon mics are wonderful, but many microphone preamplifiers are simply too weak to get enough signal out of them. A Cloudlifter Mic Activator utilizes an active circuit powered by your console or preamp’s phantom power to provide as much as +25dB of extra gain, turning even a budget console into a better ribbon preamp.
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. This is one of the best amplifier of all time.
