But here’s what’s really got me excited: Pretty soon I will be picking up my very own KSM313 (been borrowing one from a friend for long-form projects) and I can’t wait to see how it performs with the Cloud! Back at the mic end of the cable run, I put the Cloudlifter inline on one cable, and wired both through the JS-2 into a low-output dynamic (hello, SM57! So, no matter how dramatic of an impact this transparent technology may have on your recordings, you can be sure you're really just hearing your mic at its best.

Because I want to set up my listening position far from the musicians and stay out of sight during concerts, my typical cable run is 100′ to 150′. Usaldusmärgisega e-poodidest ostmine on tarbija jaoks turvaline, sest e-poe müügitingimused vastavad seaduses kehtestatud nõuetele ning nende tegevust monitooritakse liidu poolt järjepidevalt. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. The gain boost provided by your Cloudlifter lets your mic pre work more efficiently, giving you the levels you need, without the noise.Simply connect the CL-1 between your microphone's output and your preamp's input, then engage the +48V phantom power on the pre to kick on the CL-1's gain boost, requiring less muscle from your interface's preamp. The Cloudlifter is a plug and "forget" device which does its job invisibly without any configuration in the background. From stage to studio, the Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter Mic Activator lets you get the best possible audio output from your low-output dynamic and ribbon microphones.

If you purchase our extended warranty for this product, we'll extend the money-back guarantee period to 60 days and the warranty period to 10 years. Ribbon mics are wonderful, but many microphone preamplifiers are simply too weak to get enough signal out of them. This delivers an incredible amount of bandwidth at normal input levels, whilst also providing variable amounts of harmonic and saturation as the input signal increases. this thing just plugs straight into the line between mic and box, with XLR at each end and now the input level is approx 70% and a beautiful clear and crisp signal.

My Cloudlifter CL-1 helps me get clean gain for dynamic microphones which I use in a demanding office/studio environment. Imagine you’re running an old Mackie mixer at a club, and the singer’s SM58 is at the other end of a 100′ snake. Getting into the world of recording can seem daunting, but there’s never been a better time to do it. Then I put the CL-1 back inline, reduced the Mackie’s gain to match the signal level in Pro Tools, and recorded ambient noise again.

Because the phantom power will not pass through the CL-1 (avoiding any potential damage to vintage ribbon mics, for instance), it can only be used with microphones that do not require phantom power, so using the CL-1 to get extra gain out of a phantom-powered condenser mic is not possible without an external phantom power supply between the Cloudlifter and the mic.From award-winning ribbon microphones to innovative Cloudlifter Mic Activators, our USA-made products redefine audio excellence, delivering unparalleled quality and versatility for a world of sound possibilities. Sometimes the best equipment is the hardware you have to remind yourself that you own, and a Cloudlifter is definitely a silent hero. As it always goes with Massey plug-ins, the demo version gives you a lot of functionality for free, but there are some key functions I really like in the paid version. Cloud Microphones designed their Cloudlifter series around direct-coupled, Class A discrete JFET circuitry, engineered to preserve the natural sound of your mics.

Premium electronics - the Cloudlifter`s patented discrete JFET circuitry preserves the source`s natural sound while keeping the direct audio path clear of transformers, capacitors, and resistors.If you’re using a dynamic mic with a 16-bit USB mic pre, and you want to maximize your gain staging before bus-powered A-to-D conversion, you need the Cloudlifter. This is to appease the purists who think the JS-2 or some specific fault in one of the cable runs might have interfered with my test. lacks the instantly-recognizable visual profile of its closest competitors, the Electro-Voice RE20/PL20 and the Shure SM7, and it cannot rival the RE20. If your microphone has a low sensitivity, you need a gain booster like the CL-1 Cloudlifter to give it the amplification it needs.
