Cloud’s Ribbon Microphones and patented Cloudlifter Mic Activators are used by artists, engineers, podcasters, creators, broadcasters, and venues all over the world. Cloud Mic's Cloudlifters are manufactured in the US and on the Navajo Reservation, supporting small businesses in the southwest. Reduce Feedback While Adding Microphone Clarity Cloudlifters increase the sensitivity of your microphone and bring its natural tonal characteristics into focus. The single-channel Cloudlifter CL-1 , two-channel Cloudlifter CL-2 , and rack-mountable four-channel Cloudlifter CL-4 all provide up to +25 dB of ultra-clean gain with fixed impedance loading at 3 kΩ, optimized for a wide variety of microphones. Each one is designed to dramatically improve the sensitivity and performance of lower-output microphones. Whether you’re using an expensive, professional-grade microphone/preamp combination or common microphones with a basic home setup, Cloudlifters provide more signal from the microphone itself, allowing the preamp to operate in its optimal gain range by reducing the amount of gain needed. This reduces noise and distortion, bringing more of the microphone’s natural character into focus. For those recording professionally, at home, or performing on stage, Cloudlifters are valuable tools that deliver high-quality, professional audio. Up to +25 dB of Gain Hear more of your dynamic and ribbon microphone's natural character and increase the clarity with +25dB of ultra-clean gain. Cloudlifters provide ultra-clean gain in two distinct stages while optimizing impedance loading. The Cloudlifter uses +48v Phantom Power, but does not pass power to the mic. For this reason, the Cloudlifter is a great way to keep your ribbon and tube mics safe from exposure to Phantom Power, while providing the extra gain they need. Reduce Noise and Distortion As a result of increased sensitivity and ultra-clean gain, the amount of gain required by the preamp is reduced significantly. This also reduces noise and improves the natural frequency response of the mic by allowing the preamp or interface to operate within its comfort zone! Perfect for Podcasts, Professional & Home Studios, AV, and Live Sound Whether you are a pro studio looking for more gain from your ribbon or tube mics, or narrating a podcast or video with a dynamic mic, it’s easy to create quality content with the Cloudlifter. Review: If you use dynamic mics, you probably need a Cloudlifter. - Brilliant box. Has given my favorite dynamic mics (Shure SM7, Sennheiser MD 421, Royer R-121, Beyerdynamic M 201 TG, etc.) new punch and volume. I also have a few of their single channel CL-1 boxes that I keep attached to mic stands. The Cloudlifter delivers a solid 20db boost with no coloration and no noise. Suddenly I have lots of headroom on my input gains, and now have the freedom to select any mic in the locker based on its tone, response curve and pattern, without regard to output levels. These wont make tube pre-amps obsolete but they fill a very real need and have become an indispensable addition to my toolkit. Review: The Cloudlifter is a fantastic product. Had a small issue with some XLR ... - The Cloudlifter is a fantastic product. Had a small issue with some XLR cables and thought I had made a mistake. Switched out to shorter cables and the gain is perfect/very clean for my dynamic mics. A must have for the serious podcaster. ## Features - FOR HOME STUDIOS & PROFESSIONAL RECORDING: In the studio, boost the signal of quiet audio sources like vocals, percussion, or acoustic instruments while maintaining the natural sound of your microphone. The Cloudlifter is the perfect podcast equipment piece for creators who want to take their production to the next level! - REDUCE FEEDBACK WHILE ADDING MICROPHONE CLARITY: The Cloudlifter CL-4 mic activator uses Phantom power to give passive mics up to +25dB without passing Phantom power on to the mic. Reduce unwanted feedback, while increasing the clarity of your microphones. - DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONAL RESULTS: Our home studio equipment is perfect for podcasts, live streaming, radio broadcasts, live sound, and studio recording. It's designed to seamlessly integrate with your preamp, maintaining ease-of-use for any professional. - EXCELLENT COMPATIBILITY: This microphone activator is compatible with tube, battery, or power supply driven microphones – safe for all passive ribbons with no transfer of Phantom power. - TRANSFORM ANY BASIC MIC: Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-4 mic activator does not power the mics themselves. Instead, place the Cloudlifter at the front of your dynamic mic, turn on Phantom Power and hear the sounds from your mic like never before. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IX1B48A | | Antenna Location | Podcasting, Live Streaming, Radio Broadcasts, Live Sound, Studio Recording | | Audible Noise | 25 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 25 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | 13,236 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 18 in Preamps | | Box Contents | preamp | | Brand | Cloud Microphones | | Brand Name | Cloud Microphones | | Colour | Blue | | Compatible Devices | Audio Mixer | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connectivity technology | XLR | | Connector Type | 2.5 mm Jack | | Connector type | 2.5 mm Jack | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 out of 5 stars 24 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00793573774217 | | Item Dimensions | 11.4 x 53.3 x 4.4 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Microphone preamp | | Item Weight | 1.51 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Cloud Microphones | | Manufacturer Part Number | Cloudlifter CL-4 | | Microphone Form Factor | A/B Box | | Model Name | Cloudlifter | | Model Number | CL-4 | | Model name | Cloudlifter | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of Items | 4 | | Power Source | Ghost Energy | | Product Warranty | Limited-Lifetime Manufacturer | | Recommended uses for product | Podcasting, Live Streaming, Radio Broadcasts, Live Sound, Studio Recording | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 25 dB | | Special Feature | Universal Compatibility | | Special feature | Universal Compatibility | | UPC | 793573774217 | ## Product Details - **Audio sensitivity:** 25 Decibels - **Brand:** Cloud Microphones - **Colour:** Blue - **Compatible devices:** Audio Mixer - **Connectivity technology:** XLR - **Connector type:** 2.5 mm Jack - **Included components:** preamp - **Model name:** Cloudlifter - **Recommended uses for product:** Podcasting, Live Streaming, Radio Broadcasts, Live Sound, Studio Recording - **Special feature:** Universal Compatibility ## Images ![Cloudlifter CL-4 Mic Activator - Ultra-Clean Microphone Preamp Gain - USA Made - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Wsx2twgEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Model** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What microphones do Cloudlifters work with?** A: Cloudlifters are designed for use with any dynamic or passive ribbon microphone to turn +48v of phantom power into up to +25dB of ultra clean gain.

I've tried other gain boost but they do not provide the clean gain that the cloudlifter does. I opted to buy the cl-4 to save money and be able to mount it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cloud Microphones - Cloudlifter CL-4 Mic Activator - Ultra-Clean Microphone Preamp Gain - USA Made - RØDE RØDECaster Pro II All-in-One Production Solution for Podcasting, Streaming, Music Production and Content Creation,Black - Shure SM7B Microphone - Vocal Dynamic Studio Mic for Broadcast, Podcast, Recording, Gaming & Streaming, XLR, Rugged Construction, Detachable Windscreen, Smooth Sound, Warm Vocals, Wide-Range Frequency --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/112973310-cloudlifter-cl-4-mic-activator-ultra-clean-microphone-preamp-gain](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/112973310-cloudlifter-cl-4-mic-activator-ultra-clean-microphone-preamp-gain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
