Review: Boosts Mic Performance with a Minor Concern - I purchased the Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator for my audio setup, pairing it with my Shure microphone and the Roland VR-1HD for phantom power. After some thorough testing, I'm ready to share my experience, which has been largely positive with a slight concern. The Good: Powerful Mic Boost: The Cloudlifter CL-1 does an excellent job of amplifying the microphone signal. It's particularly noticeable with my Shure mic, providing a significant and clean boost in gain. This enhancement is crucial for achieving professional-quality sound in recordings and live streaming. I use it for my YouTube channel. I was thinking about starting a podcast by the way. Build Quality and Ease of Use: The build quality is solid, and it's evident that it's made to last. The simplicity of the Cloudlifter is also a plus and it's pretty much plug-and-play, requiring no additional power source, which is a huge convenience. I dont even think you need a additional power such as the phantom although i do hear a difference. The Concern: Interference with my cell phone: My primary concern, and I'm still trying to pinpoint the exact cause, is that having my phone close to the setup and receiving texts or calls causes audio distortion. I suspect this interference might be related to the Cloudlifter, but it's also possible that the Shure mic is picking up these signals. This issue is something to be aware of, especially in a setup where your phone is an essential part of your workflow. I can assure you that once i move my away from the cludlift , the distorsions stop. Overall Impression: Aside from the interference issue, which I'm still investigating, the Cloudlifter CL-1 has been a great addition to my audio equipment. It delivers on its promise of providing clean, amplified sound, which is a game-changer for mics that need that extra boost. The build quality is great, and its ease of use makes it a valuable tool for both amateurs and professionals. Plug and play . Given the significant improvement in sound quality, I would recommend the Cloudlifter CL-1, but with the caveat of being mindful of potential interference from mobile devices. This might be a minor issue or something more specific to my setup, but it's worth mentioning. Overall, I'm pleased with the performance. Review: Set it up with Shure SM7B mic, no issues! - Bought this to set up a Shure SM7B, which was much needed since the SM7B is a very quiet mic in stock condition. I had no issues with static or audio quality with this, and would recommend this to anyone looking to set up a microphone that needs a preamp! ## Features - FOR HOME STUDIOS & PROFESSIONAL RECORDING: In the studio, boost the signal of quiet audio sources like vocals, percussion, or acoustic instruments while maintaining the natural sound of your microphone. The Cloudlifter is the perfect podcast equipment piece for creators who want to take their production to the next level! - REDUCE FEEDBACK WHILE ADDING MICROPHONE CLARITY: The Cloudlifter CL-4 mic activator uses Phantom power to give passive mics up to +25dB without passing Phantom power on to the mic. Reduce unwanted feedback, while increasing the clarity of your microphones. - DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONAL RESULTS: Our home studio equipment is perfect for podcasts, live streaming, radio broadcasts, live sound, and studio recording. It's designed to seamlessly integrate with your preamp, maintaining ease-of-use for any professional. - EXCELLENT COMPATIBILITY: This microphone activator is compatible with tube, battery, or power supply driven microphones – safe for all passive ribbons with no transfer of Phantom power. - TRANSFORM ANY BASIC MIC: Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-4 mic activator does not power the mics themselves. Instead, place the Cloudlifter at the front of your dynamic mic, turn on Phantom Power and hear the sounds from your mic like never before. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IX1B48A | | Antenna Location | Singing, Recording, Voiceover, Music | | Audible Noise | 25 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 25 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | #741 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #2 in Microphone Preamps | | Brand | Cloud Microphones | | Built-In Media | CL-4 | | Color | Blue | | Compatible Devices | Standard Microphone Inputs with Phantom Power | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connector Type | 3 Pin XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,251 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Alloy Steel, Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00793573774217 | | Item Dimensions | 4.5 x 21 x 1.75 inches | | Item Type Name | A-B Box | | Item Weight | 1.51 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Cloud Microphones | | Mfr Part Number | Cloudlifter CL-4 | | Microphone Form Factor | A-B Box | | Model Name | Cloudlifter CL-4 | | Model Number | CL-4 | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recommended Uses For Product | Singing, Recording, Voiceover, Music | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 25 dB | | Special Feature | Noise Reduction | | UPC | 793573774217 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Manufacture. | ## Product Details - **Audio Sensitivity:** 25 Decibels - **Brand:** Cloud Microphones - **Color:** Blue - **Compatible Devices:** Standard Microphone Inputs with Phantom Power - **Connectivity Technology:** XLR - **Connector Type:** 3 Pin XLR - **Included Components:** CL-4 - **Model Name:** Cloudlifter CL-4 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Singing, Recording, Voiceover, Music - **Special Feature:** Noise Reduction ## Images ![Cloud Microphones - Cloudlifter CL-4 Mic Activator - Ultra-Clean Microphone Preamp Gain - USA Made - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Wsx2twgEL.jpg) ![Cloud Microphones - Cloudlifter CL-4 Mic Activator - Ultra-Clean Microphone Preamp Gain - USA Made - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81eNoA5c9dL.jpg) ![Cloud Microphones - Cloudlifter CL-4 Mic Activator - Ultra-Clean Microphone Preamp Gain - USA Made - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81a1Xh5YRKL.jpg) ![Cloud Microphones - Cloudlifter CL-4 Mic Activator - Ultra-Clean Microphone Preamp Gain - USA Made - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81urGJ77aLL.jpg) ![Cloud Microphones - Cloudlifter CL-4 Mic Activator - Ultra-Clean Microphone Preamp Gain - USA Made - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814115ERTHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What microphones do Cloudlifters work with?** A: Cloudlifters are designed for use with any dynamic or passive ribbon microphone to turn +48v of phantom power into up to +25dB of ultra clean gain.

Feels premium, works great, no issues out of the box, and super easy to set up - literally just plug and play. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cloud Microphones - Cloudlifter CL-4 Mic Activator - Ultra-Clean Microphone Preamp Gain - USA Made - RØDE RØDECaster Pro II All-in-One Production Solution for Podcasting, Streaming, Music Production and Content Creation,Black - Shure SM7B Microphone - Vocal Dynamic Studio Mic for Broadcast, Podcast, Recording, Gaming & Streaming, XLR, Rugged Construction, Detachable Windscreen, Smooth Sound, Warm Vocals, Wide-Range Frequency --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/2918487-cloud-microphones-cloudlifter-cl-4-mic-activator-ultra-clean-microphone](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/2918487-cloud-microphones-cloudlifter-cl-4-mic-activator-ultra-clean-microphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
