Cloudlifter CL-1

Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1: gain booster for podcasting, streaming, home recording.

The Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 is a gain booster used in microphone signal chains. A booster is not an automatic requirement for every dynamic microphone. SONORYN treats it as an extra stage that must match the connection, power arrangement and the actual gain needs of the chain.

THE IDEA IN A FEW WORDS

Where the Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 fits in a creator setup.

What it brings

Connections: XLR female · XLR male.
Phantom power: 48 V.
Gain Upper Bound Db: 25 dB.
Input Impedance Options Ohm: 3000 Ω.
Passive Only: Yes.

A good fit if…

Fits your setup.

The rest of the microphone chain is already defined and there is a documented reason to add more gain.
Its power and connection requirements fit the interface and microphone.
You want to solve a specific gain-stage requirement, not add accessories by default.

Consider another option if…

Do not overbuy.

You have not confirmed that extra gain is actually needed.
Its power arrangement conflicts with another stage in the chain.
A different microphone/interface combination solves the requirement more directly.

What you need

Complete the chain.

A microphone and interface chain that matches both sides of the booster.
The required power arrangement.
A verified reason to add the extra gain stage.

First steps
