Cloudlifter Goes to the Rack! Cloudlifter CL-4 Mic Activator is based on Cloud’s award-winning Cloudlifter technology that converts phantom power into an additional +25 dB of ultra-clean gain for low output dynamic and ribbon mics. Cloudlifters solve problems posed by noisy preamps and can be used to drive stronger, cleaner signals over long XLR cable runs. The single rack space CL-4 is simple and compact, featuring four rear-mounted sets of balanced XLR inputs and outputs and is ideal for broadcast, live sound, public address, and professional studio applications.

Cloudlifters dramatically improve the performance of passive microphone signals by driving stronger, cleaner signals over long XLR cable runs and providing significant ultra-clean gain, before the mixer or preamp. This allows the microphone’s preamp to operate using much lower gain settings, resulting in significantly reduced noise and improved clarity. The CL-4 is enclosed in a rugged rack-mount enclosure offering excellent shielding and durability.
Using patent pending technology that keeps the direct audio path free-and-clear of transformers, capacitors, and resistors, the CL-4 houses Class A, Discrete JFET circuitry that delivers world class, ultra-clean gain while preserving the natural sonic characteristics of the source.
Like all Cloud Microphones products, the Cloudlifter Mic Activator series is handcrafted using environmentally friendly methods, entirely in the USA.
Warranty: 1 Year on Ribbon Microphones; 5 Years on Everything Else

The Cloudlifter
I have so far enjoyed this product as it has enhanced the quality of sound filtered though my microphone when recording. It’s been great and my recording process has been super fun experiencing.

Plenty of gain!
I bought this to push a Shure SM7B. Decided to buy this instead of the CL-1 so that I would be covered for pushing multiple dynamic mics for my podcast. Couldn't recommend it more! Must buy for a low output mic like an SM7B or RE20.

A truly great piece of gear.
I use the cloudlifter on my drum mics when I'm playing, or any dynamic mics when I am recording other people. I use an EV RE20 for kick, Sennheiser MD421s for toms and a modified SM57 for snare. All of those mics are low output mics. With the cloudlifter I can send them phantom power (+48) which the...
