About this item 

  • X=MORE GAIN: The CL-X provides up to +36dB of ultra-clean gain in Max mode. Perfectly suited for using low-output microphones to capture quieter source material such as acoustic instruments, podcasting, ASMR, or even Foley. 
  • MORE VIBE: We partnered with CineMag to develop a custom nickel transformer with huge bandwidth, adding the element of dynamic character. Combined with the ultra-clean gain of the Cloudlifter core, the CL-X is responsive to the signal you give it. 
  • MORE OPTIONS: With the addition of the custom transformer, you may want to apply some of this “mojo” to additional applications. The selectable output attenuator allows you to decrease the gain from the CL-X, yielding up to 12dB, in order to capture louder applications such as an SM57 on a snare or loud guitar amp. 
  • PLUG AND PLAY: The CL-X is compatible with dynamic, ribbon, and tube microphones – safe for all passive ribbons and does not pass phantom 
  • MADE IN THE USA: All Cloudlifter electronics are made on the Navajo Nation in Arizona and entirely designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA. 
  • Transformer coupled design adds dynamic character that is responsive to the input level 
  • Significantly reduces noise and unwanted artifacts by allowing the preamps to operate in a more comfortable range 
  • Improves signal to noise ratio and microphone performance
  • Rugged, portable, and road ready for studio and stage
  • Free Lifetime Limited Warranty with product registration

    CL-X + SM7B = Win!

    Neither my old-school Mackie analog board nor my Solid State Logic SSL2 digital interface had enough gain to get a decent level out of a Shure SM7B, so I knew I had to add a boost. The original Cloudlifter CL-1 helped, and was usable with some post-processing, but I was still turning up the gain higher than I'd like, so I switched to the CL-X, which has 36db of gain, versus 25db on the CL-1, and that did the trick. The SSL2 still needs to be turned up (the SM7B really lives up to its low-output

    WOW!!!

    All I can say is Wow. You'll have to hear it to believe it. I tried it with a Shure SM7B microphone.
