Hi Friends, so many people I admire use the Cloudlifter. Simon Phillips, one of the greatest drummers I've ever met raved about it on not just Ribbons but SM57's, others have said it makes the SM7, one of the most versatile mics ever made an even better mic! So a special thanks to Cloudlifter for giving us one to try! I loved using this and will use it all the time from now on!! Please enter to win one of them here:- bit.ly/2QIwDlm

Long time viewer, love your channel, but I'm ALWAYS blown away every time you pick up an instrument... you are SO FREAKING GOOD at playing.... man... I really appreciate your talent level.

The top-end thing might be expected from a passive mic with a transformer output. Typical mic output impedance is ~200 ohms. Rule of thumb is to have an input impedance ~5x that, or 1k. Your Neve pre is right around that level on the 1.2k setting, but the 300R setting is going to load the mic quite a bit and reduce its ability to drive the input. (That is: Less output, easier to get into saturation, and a loss of HF.) The Cloudlifter CL-1 has an input impedance of 3k, according to a random quote I found online. (They don't list it on their product page... sigh.... I guess we're all too simple these days to be trusted with technical details. Less specs, more fancy scrolling effects! Behold, the mysterious magic box with magic in it which is magic. ... OK, I digress.) This is a high-ish impedance that should feel like a light and easy load to the mic's output transformer. There's some controversy over what an "ideal" input impedance is, as different mics will react in different ways. The more reactive components (caps, transformers, etc.) the more pronounced that effect will be. Active outputs (transistors, tubes) will care less. This is why some preamps have variable input impedance. It's not so much what is the "right" thing to do (otherwise, the only upper limit on input impedance would be determined by the tradeoff in noise), but the creative possibilities available by doing the "wrong" thing. The CL-1 output, for example, is active and so will not respond much to a change in input impedance of the upstream preamp -- ergo, you lose the "color" of the preamp's input impedance. Oh well. You will typically see a preamp top out at 50-60dB of gain, as 60dB is a multiplication of the input signal by 1,000 times. Amplifiers have a spec that is known as the "Gain-Bandwidth Product", which is basically a fancy way of saying that, as the gain goes up the bandwidth available decreases. Aside from any noise issues, this can be one benefit of using a pre- preamp like the CL. You're breaking that gain up into two stages, which allows the gain of your main preamp to be much more reasonable, and that keeps the amp within its prescribed GBP, and therefore stable. At above 60dB, any little thing is likely to set the amp off into oscillation, as it's walking a tightrope trying to react violently to anything happening on its input. There is also slew rate, which is how fast the output signal can change (expressed in volts-per-microsecond) to track the input when multiplied by some factor of gain. The higher the slew rate, the more quickly the amp can respond to changes. The more quickly it can respond, the higher frequencies it can amplify at high gain -- or, notably, a large signal at lower gain. This limit does not increase by stacking gain stages. It's often more a limitation imposed by the amp (or IC) designer to keep the amp from oscillating when triggered by a sharp transient, like a square wave with truly high bandwidth rising and falling edges. OK, well... that's a nerdy diversion that nobody asked for. :-) Carry on, guitar man.

Just got one, absolutely love the way it improves the level and sounds of the dynamic mics I never used because the signal to noise was too unbearable. I feel like I just got a bunch of new mics. You review pushed me over to pulling the trigger and wish I'd not waited so long.

I have the Cloudlifter CL-2 (2 channel version) and LOVE it!! I would totally recommend getting at least two channels so you can stereo mic etc. Gives you SO much more volume without added noise or hiss and prevents you from having to crank your preamp and adding noise etc. They work Great with Ribbon mics and quiet Dynamic mics.... a real game changer really. The one channel will cost $150 so you may as well get the CL-2 right away for only $250 and have what you need

I use a couldlifter cl1 with my Shure SM7B and it gives me great results. The reason I bought it in the first place is because I had a really old interface from 1999 and had too much noise when cracking up the gain. Lowered the gain and volume, got the cloudlifter and suddenly I could record the most quiet parts without any additional noise, so it gives about 20-25db of clean gain for sure. Now I use it with my Babyface PRO, it's a little less diference then before because RME has some great preamps, but it still gives me a better and cleaner sound then if I just crack up the gain on the interface. So I use in this way: 60% interface, 40% cloudlifter and it sounds way better then interface on it's own with a cranked up gain. Those are my thoughts anyway... Used it on vocals and acoustic guitars so far.

to my (youtube jacked) ears, I think you said it best: it makes the mic sound more "dynamic" somehow. At first there was this evenness, almost compressed leveling going on, and then the cloudlifter gave it some range-y detail. Not "better", per se, because that's a contextual thing, but appears to be a great option to have at the ready in case you want to switch it in. I like!

Yes, I bought the Cloudlifter specifically because my SM7b's output was low and I was getting background noise--even from a 5ft cable straight into my Apogee duet. Now I keep the CL-1 strapped right on the counterweight of the boom stand for my SM7 (which also helps because that's a pretty heavy mic). I even use it live every week. 2ft XLR cable from the mic to the CL-1, then a 50 ft XLR to a 100ft snake before it gets to my FOH mixer/recording interface--and I can crank it up with no perceptible background noise.

I have the CL-Z model and use it with an SM57 to mike my amps. It puts the SM57 right in the sweet spot for gain without having to run my preamp gain on my Apollo way up. The icloud does it with no noise that I can hear. I can actually change the tone slightly with the impedance adjustment too which is just icing on the cake. The icloud made several of my dynamic mics that I wasn't using sound good enough that I'm back to using them again. Worth the money.

Interesting trying it out on the Vox Brian May. I love Vox amps in general, but that thing is harsh, shrill, and papery. Then again, it's also really a practice amp. I had it for about two years and never used it for anything, not even practising.

*In my DAW/Digital Mixer - Saw Studio and SAC, I have no need for that device, all I do is BOOST the gain in the system and BAMM. I think it has 20+db of additional gain, above what ever preamp. Truth be told with a simple BEHRINGER ADA8200, I get all the gain I need and analog silk smooth, with the audio engine architecture!*

I have a CL 4 in a rackmount. One of the things I have found is that a firmly hit snare plus Sm57+cloudlifter gives way too much gain to avoid digital clipping. This is where its use could be more for using dynamics and ribbons as room mics. Even on a medium-volume guitar amp, your signal can get very hot!

The cloud lifter is just a mic pre, so you are putting a mic pre in front of another mic pre. You could use hundreds of pres for that job. The interesting thing is the variable impedance, that is a feature more mic pres should have. I would be worried that the reactivity between the mic and expensive preamp would be compromised by putting a cheaper pre in between at that crucial point in the signal chain. Mic Pres don't simply present a hard impedance, it provides a moving load to the microphone and that is where some of the magic happens.

Thanks for this video, I've been eyeing devices like this for a pair of old RCA DX-77s but never had a chance to try one. I assume that the CL is in effect a neutral sounding "wire-plus-gain" type micpre. However, with the CL being the first ( transformer-less relatively high impedance) device the mic's output transformer sees, wouldn't one forego the sonic signature a transformer input micpre or switchable impedance micpre would impart on the signal were it connected directly to the mic. I guess what I'm asking is whether the CL will sound different plugged into a high quality micpre vs a cheap interface micpre ( an interesting comparisson test to do) and what would it mean to folks who like to use their high-dollar micpres as tone shaping devices. Would the CL turn expensive character pres into generic gain stages?

Check out the Cloudlifter Z. That model gives you the same gain boost of the CL-1 and adds a variable impedance control knob that is continuously sweepable from 150-15k ohms and has a HPF as well. I believe the McBoost impedance is adjusted with a fixed 3-position switch. Cloud has a chart on their website that shows the impedance spec of many common dynamic and ribbon mics and where to set the "Z knob" to match it. Then you can adjust the tone from there. Very versatile.

I´ve used the Cloudlifter for many years now... Let me tell you foks this... THROW YOUR FREAKING MONEY AT THEM... that´ little devil does more for ya mic´s then anything else and can be used on most anything with a low input. Clean Ultra gain is what we need, and this provides it :-) -they could charge much more, then what they do at the moment, it´s well worth it.. I´m using it on the dynamic mic Shure SM7B...

Warren, your the 1 -that´s amazing.. You´ve made my teaching-music-life a Ton easier ;-) Thanks for all you´r videos.. i can´t say that loud enough. I see you got the Gen-1032 monitors -Well, i got the 1039 and using a Cloudlifter means everything to the recorder. Since i can hear everything on my monitors, i highly recomend the cloudlifter on anything you can (dyn/ribbon mis´c and so on..) - Let me say this, it´s very noticable when i don´t use it (which is why i always use it ;-) ... Anyway, keep up your awsooooooome work... I´m doing my best to spread the word :-) Lot´s of Music Love Max aka. Ian Moone on FB. (My Facebook name) Denmark.

the only time a cloudlifter should be recommended is when it is being used for it's intended purpose, which is for boosting the gain of ribbon mic's and block phantom power from harming them. There are a lot of guys out there who don't know what they are talking about posturing themselves as professionals

I can not hear any difference.
