Two activators add up to +25 dB of clean gain for passive microphones and include XLR cables for immediate use

  • Adds up to +25 dB clean gain to passive mics

  • Powered only by standard phantom power, no batteries needed
  • Rugged steel enclosure shields circuitry for stage and studio
  • Includes two CL-1 units plus two XLR cables

Compact Dual-Channel Mic Activator

The Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator arrives as a 2-pack designed for engineers and broadcasters who rely on passive dynamic or ribbon microphones. Each unit provides a single-input gain stage that requires only standard phantom power from a mixer or interface. The rugged steel enclosure adds shielding and allows stage or stand mounting for studio and field work.

Phantom-Powered Gain With Minimal Noise

The discrete JFET circuitry delivers up to +25 dB of clean, transparent gain without transformers, capacitors or resistors in the direct audio path. This improves signal-to-noise ratio and drives stronger signals over longer XLR cable runs. The self-contained design draws power solely from the phantom supply, adding no external power requirements or audible noise floor.

Bundled Cables Ready For Immediate Use

Two XLR-to-XLR cables are included so each activator can be connected directly to a microphone and mixer input without extra purchases. The pack enables dual-microphone setups for interviews, podcasts or stereo recording straight from the box. A limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer covers the activator units.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the CL-1 between my dynamic microphone and the mixer?

Plug the mic into the CL-1 input, run the supplied XLR cable from the CL-1 output to the mixer channel, then switch on phantom power at the mixer.

Does the CL-1 need any batteries or internal parts replaced over time?

No — it draws operating power solely from phantom power and has no user-serviceable components.

What is the maximum clean gain the CL-1 can add before noise becomes noticeable?

The circuit provides up to +25 dB of transparent gain for passive microphones.
