Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-Z Mic Activator with Phantom Power
Elevate Your Sound to the Power of Z
Boost your mic’s performance with the Cloudlifter CL-Z, a premium mic activator that delivers up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain while letting you shape your sound with variable impedance control. It enhances clarity, reduces noise, and protects sensitive microphones.
+25dB of Ultra-Clean Gain
Amplifies low-output dynamic and ribbon microphones with high headroom, maintaining signal clarity without adding noise or coloration.
Vari-Z Control for Impedance Shaping
Dial in the perfect load for your mic with continuously variable impedance, unlocking new tonal possibilities and enhancing mic response.
Two-Stage Gain Circuitry
Provides cleaner signal boosting by splitting gain into two discrete stages for optimal transparency and minimal distortion.
Phantom Power Protection
Uses 48V phantom power to operate but safely blocks it from reaching your microphone, making it ideal for ribbon and tube mics.
Improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Reduces the amount of gain needed from your interface or preamp, resulting in lower noise levels and a more detailed, natural sound.
Enhanced Mic Performance
Reveals more of your microphone’s true character by optimizing both gain and impedance, making even affordable mics sound professional.
Made in the USA
Hand-assembled in the USA and on the Navajo Reservation, supporting local communities and high-quality craftsmanship.
