Review on ๐ŸŽค Cloud Microphones CL-1 Cloudlifter Mic Activator: Enhancing Audio Performance with Cloud Technology by Ryan Garrison

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Is working. pure average gain for SM7B.

If you're looking for a simple gain amplifier for the SM7B, this is it. It is not an exciting tone and sound to listen to. So if you're looking for a specific sound and texture for your mic, look elsewhere. I'm also surprised at how unnecessary this is for a good preamp. Even decent preamps have enough gain to push the SM7B through, but running cheap stuff helps a lot and you should just do it. The cloud lifter they sent me was scratched and packed in an empty box filled only with wrapping paper. I was shocked. It looked like a Class B device at best, like a returned item or a pawn shop item. At least it was hardly what I would consider new. It worked but I felt like I was being sold a lure and a switch and the SM7B I bought was exactly the same. This one had severed the ligament and was open. They were both used and sold as new, which I didn't like very much. There are a lot of people who buy this crap and then ship it back so be careful what you buy. Or if you agree. Just buy used material and save some money. The rest of the product works. Pure sound with no frills for the Shure SM7B.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Modern
