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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapture Every Detail with a Cloudlifter\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUnlock your microphones’ true potential. Cloudlifters dramatically increase the sensitivity of your microphone, fully capturing the nuance and detail of the source. Many of the most incredible sounding microphones typically require the most gain. Ribbon, dynamic and even tube microphones can be difficult to amplify, even with high quality preamps. Previously, it has been difficult to capture very quiet sources with these mics, without hearing noise and frequency loss caused by the preamp being operated in its upper gain range. The detail and nuance, the true character of your mic comes to the foreground with the Cloudlifter. This is in remarkable contrast to the tone achieved by pushing the preamp to its upper gain range to produce a similar level of gain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot Just Louder, Better…\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe patented technology dramatically increases microphone output sensitivity without coloring or altering the natural character of the source. Cloudlifters are free of capacitors, resistors, and other distortion-causing components. They utilize a patented Class-A Discrete signal path that directly couples the noise-canceling JFET chips to the microphone and preamp. These innovative JFET chips were initially designed for top-secret military and science applications where quality and clarity are essential to national security, safety and education. With these ultra-high tech chips available for use in Cloud products, you can take advantage of these advancements in order to Elevate Your Sound to the highest level while fueling the creative process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActivated by Cloud… The Industry Standard, Licensed\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe award-winning technology is used by audio professionals worldwide and is the industry standard for low-output mics such as the Shure SM7b, EV RE20 and popular ribbon microphones. Additionally, Cloud licenses the patented technology to Shure for use in the popular active SM7dB microphone, the newest in the legendary SM7 lineage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Mod for Your Preamp and Microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile most preamps sound great in the middle of their gain range, that last one-third of the gain range is the most challenging, where signal degradation and noise can occur. Cloudlifters mitigate this by giving you more of the actual microphone itself, upfront and unaltered. The way the technology works, the Cloudlifter electrically becomes part of your microphone and preamp. By utilizing the preamp’s components to complete the circuit, the Cloudlifter’s design offers two distinct noise-canceling gain stages. These occur prior to the signal passing through capacitors and other components that cause distortion and alter the microphone’s natural character. The circuit is completed by the components in the preamp and phantom power supply in such a way that they are removed from the signal path. By the time the signal reaches your preamp and passes through capacitors and other electrical components, their negative impact is greatly reduced. This is because more of the signal’s authenticity is present up front, meaning the preamp doesn’t have to work as hard to achieve optimal performance. Your microphone becomes active, and your preamp is supercharged to operate within its most comfortable range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLevel Up with More Mic, Less Preamp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll gain is not created equal. The ultra-clean gain of the Cloudlifter coupled to your preamp offers a sound that removes not only the noise, but unwanted coloration and frequency degradation that occurs in proportion to the amount of gain provided at the preamp or interface. Even with a preamp that has a coloration that you like, Cloudlifters open up a different sonic option by having more of the mic’s natural character sitting upfront. Simply put, all Cloudlifters give you more of the actual mic itself while allowing the preamp to operate within its comfort zone. The result is less noise floor, distortion, and alteration to the frequency response. Hearing more of the mic itself and less of the coloration from the preamp is a nice choice to have, creating new options that simply didn’t exist before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmpower Your Creativity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBring sonic depth and authentic character to the forefront of your sound. The Cloudlifter brings your sound to life with detail and clarity that is unmatched. This innovative device provides up to +25dB of clean gain, bringing out the subtle details and nuances that could otherwise be lost. Whether you’re recording vocals, instruments, or podcasts, or Foley, the CL-25 ensures your microphone captures every detail with exceptional clarity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for Professionals, Made in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExperience the transformative power of clean gain with the Cloudlifter CL-25, and take your sound to new heights.
