Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator + Extra Two (2) XLR Cables Bundle

Works great with our new microphone at our radio station.

I actually am much more impressed than I thought I'd be with this. The quality is incredible. Very sturdy and I love that it comes with two different cables so you can plug and play. It's essential when working on some podcasts to enhance the audio and reduce all of the noise and interference that comes with some of these audio decks or mics themselves. If you have a hard time getting good sound for your podcast mics, this might just help.

Phantom power here I come :)

Awesome sauce!

First and foremost, the Cloudlifter does it’s job and does it fairly well. The only problem I had was the XLR inputs were extremely tight and I felt like I was having to force the cable in. Ultimately, I found the CL-2’s boxy design and requirement of dual cables per input device to be impediments for me. I opted for the FetHead solution as it was far more portable and doesn’t require a second cable in the chain. Not to mention I got a pair of FetHeads and pocketed almost $100 in the difference. For my purpose of a mobile podcast setup the FetHead solution was far more convenient. This is likely confirmation bias, but I also found the Cloudlifter sound to be just a bit duller than that of the FetHead. For a stationary setup, I can see this CL-2 making a lot of sense for someone. And by no means is it a bad purchase. Also the shipping and seller were great.

This enhances the sound so well that when I play back the recording I can hear things that I can't hear without the microphone. I've had my hearing tested and I have perfect hearing, so that means this makes the microphone hear better than the human ear.

When setting up a Shure SM7B, this is a necessity. You have other competitors, but I had to trust in the longstanding top choice, the Cloudlifter. It has not failed me. My mic quality is top tier and I've never had a single problem. It's incredibly easy to set up. Just an XLR in, XLR out, and doesn't even require an external power source.

My wife bought me a Shure SM55 (Elvis) microphone for my birthday. She was starting to get pissed at me for not using it at gigs, but the output was much lower than my EV microphone. I did some research on the SM55 mic and found this mic pre-amp. Let me tell you that this little box is a total game changer. I used to need to set the gain on the SM55 at about 80% and it would feedback like crazy, but with the Cloudlifter my gain is at 10% with no feedback. I bought a second one to put on our lead singer's SM58 and we don't have feedback problems anymore. Well worth the price

Does what it promises. Very clean gain. Runs cool.

One of the cables didn't work. Kicking myself because I read the reviews AFTER I bought the cables (rookie mistake!) - reviews of people saying "Don't buy this bundle" for this exact reason. Lost hours of my life trying to work out the source of buzzing and lack of audio through my DAW.
