CLOUD MICROPHONES AT AX
Clean gain for quiet mics.
From Cloud Microphones, AX carries the Cloudlifter CL-1: an inline mic activator that sits between a dynamic or ribbon microphone and your interface, adding up to 25dB of clean gain.
It helps most with low-output dynamic mics on interfaces that must run near maximum, where hiss starts to show. It runs on 48V phantom power from your interface but does not pass it on to the mic, and it is not used with condenser mics.

CLOUD MICROPHONES FAQ
Before you buy.
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about the Cloudlifter CL-1 mic activator.
What does the Cloudlifter CL-1 do?
The Cloudlifter CL-1 is an inline mic activator that adds up to 25dB of clean gain to dynamic and ribbon microphones, so your interface preamp can run lower and quieter.
Does the Cloudlifter need phantom power?
Yes. It draws 48V phantom power from your interface or mixer to run its own circuit, but it does not send phantom power on to the microphone, which keeps ribbon mics safe.
Do I need a Cloudlifter for my microphone?
It helps most with low-output dynamic mics on interfaces that must be turned near maximum to reach a good level, where noise and hiss start to show. It is not used with condenser mics, which need phantom power directly.
