Review on 🎀 Cloudlifter CL-2: Handmade in the USA Dynamic/Ribbon Mic Activator Inline Preamp by Cloud Microphones by Scott Morris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An indispensable studio instrument

If you've ever used a ribbon mic on a quiet acoustic instrument like a violin or acoustic guitar, you probably know how beautifully the ribbon tone complements the tone. You also probably know how difficult it is to get a good level when using a band on a soft instrument. Even with a clean preamp, there comes a point when increasing the gain will add too much noise to the signal. Cloudlifter solves this problem by amplifying the microphone signal before the preamp. Not only will your cleaner preamp sound better, you can now experiment with louder and more colorful preamps.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Can I add something?
