The Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator utilizes patented Class-A discrete JFET amplifier circuitry to provide up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain for any passive microphone.
Key Features & Specifications
• Gain: Up to +25 dB of ultra-clean gain using Class-A discrete JFET circuitry
Power Requirement: Uses standard 48V phantom power from an audio interface or mixer, but does not pass 48V through to the microphone (making it safe for vintage passive ribbon mics).
Connections: Simple XLR input and XLR output; no switches or buttons required on the CL-1 model.
Common Use Cases: Boosting quiet dynamic mics (such as the Shure SM7B or Electro-Voice RE20) or passive ribbon mics for podcasting, streaming, voiceover, and studio recording
