About this item
- FOR HOME STUDIOS & PROFESSIONAL RECORDING: In the studio, boost the signal of quiet instrument sources like vocals, percussion, or acoustic instruments while maintaining the natural sound of your microphone. The Cloudlifter CL-Z is the perfect podcast equipment piece for creators who want to take their production to the next level!
- REDUCE NOISE WHILE ADDING MICROPHONE CLARITY & SIGNAL STRENGTH: The Cloudlifter microphone activator uses Phantom power to give passive mics up to +25dB without passing Phantom power onto the mics themselves. Reduce unwanted feedback while increasing the clarity of your microphones. The Cloudlifter CL-Z adds variable impedance and additional features for specific tonal shaping and control and impedance matching.
- 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. Use the innovative CL-Z to shape and contour the sound of your ribbon or dynamic microphone.
- TRANSFORM ANY BASIC MIC: Our mic activator does not power the mics themselves. Instead, place the Cloudlifter at the front of your dynamic mic, hit it with Phantom Power, and watch how the sounds amplify from your basic mic like never before!

I didn't see too many reviews for this product so I was a little unsure. It works tremendously well, almost like magic considering my signal originates with a USB 2.0 audio interface (Steinberg UR22), so, NO AC is being used from the Steinberg, but it has phantom power, which powers this unit. It is UNBELIEVABLE how much gain I am getting, and how much noticeable improvement results from my Rode Promaster, I rarely turn the dial on my UR past the halfway mark, whereas before it was just barely getting the job done at 100%. The extra features on this unit are nice to have, and though I can hear the difference at the extreme ends of the center wheel, there is more experimenting to be done, but it is nice knowing I have the versatility to use this same module with other microphones, even if the exact differences in sound might be difficult to perceive, in order to optimize the signal. Build quality is exceptional, and the lifetime warranty is nice to have. Tremendous product from a great company!
Love it. Have a Heil PR-30B that I use for broadcasting that needed some tone adjustment and after switching from the basic cloudlifter to this, the change is perfect. With the APF setting enabled I was able to finally get the right amount of pickup for my voice and volume level while the APF Switch improved my sound clarity and consistency which was an issue I'd had with that mic long before mostly due to its wide frequency pickup range
The APF Setting eliminates this and keeps the tone noce and consistent. A perfect buy for Broadcasters using certain mics.
I Found that vocal mics with built in bassrolloff seemed not to need more than a standard cloudlifter.
Got this for my AEA R84 ribbon and it works perfect allowing me to use my preamps. Without the device the pre's could not drive the mic. This Cloudlifter is necessary. It is bigger than I expected and feels heavy and well made. Also straps to mic stand if you want. The controls are easy to understand and very useful.
