Cloud Microphones - Cloudlifter Mini CL-25 Microphone Activator | 1-Channel + 25dB In-Line Microphone Preamp - Black
About this product
Offering the same award-winning circuitry and performance specs as the original, patented Cloudlifter CL-1, the Mini CL-25 is a custom engineering collaboration with Neutrik. The unit’s ultra-compact in-line design interfaces directly with dynamic, ribbon, and tube microphones to provide up to +25 dB of ultra-clean gain, and is the smallest and most portable Cloudlifter ever produced for studio, broadcast, and live sound professionals. Plugging directly into microphones, preamps, mixers, stage boxes, and wall panels, the Mini CL-25 is built utilizing a custom Neutrik gold-plated XLR connector system. Employing hard-soldered, wire-free internal circuitry designed to meet the demands of thousands of insertion cycles, the device offers reliability within live and studio environments where daily hard use is the norm.

Cloud Microphones, maker of the original, award-winning Cloudlifter, has unveiled their latest addition to the Cloudlifter family. The brand new Cloudlifter X offers a custom-designed Cinemag transformer along with two selectable output levels that expand the range of output gain offered by the industry standard CL1. Featuring Cloud’s signature ultra-clean gain, the nickel-core Cinemag transformer delivers an incredible amount of bandwidth at normal input levels, and can also provide a variable amount of harmonic content and saturation as the input signal is increased, adding extremely musical flavors to the CLX’s output, which can change dynamically based on the input level of the source material. Inspired by the two-position MORE/MAX switch found on the Cloudlifter Z, the default setting (up to 12dB) on the CLX is ideal for use with hotter signals like an SM57 on a snare, whereas the “Max” setting (up to 35dB) is perfectly suited for quieter source material such as a soft instrument or ASMR applications..

The simple design offers plug-and-play functionality and makes it easy to customize your tone with impedance control, high-pass filtering and gain controls.
