Is your preamp tapped out and introducing noise? You might need a Cloudlifter.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is a Cloudlifter?<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i114863.net\/yRL3Wy\">Cloudlifter CL-1<\/a> is an inline gain boost designed and made by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudmicrophones.com\/cloudlifter-cl-1\">Cloud Microphones<\/a>. It takes phantom power and converts it to up to +25 dB of clean gain.<\/p>\n<p>Hooking one of these up between your microphone and preamp helps you get the most out of low-output dynamic and ribbon mics. And luckily, it won&#8217;t pass phantom power to the mic, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about damaging anything.<\/p>\n<h3>How Does a Cloudlifter Work?<\/h3>\n<p>It uses Class A discrete JFET circuitry to amplify a quiet signal cleanly. There&#8217;s no coloration here; it&#8217;s meant to sound natural and preserve the tone of the mic.<\/p>\n<p>You can think of it as an extension of your existing preamp. When you&#8217;re trying to drive a super low-output mic, like a passive ribbon or famously the <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/shure-sm7b-review\/\">Shure SM7B<\/a>, sometimes your preamp gain isn&#8217;t enough. You might start bringing unwanted noise into the signal when you&#8217;re pushing a preamp too hot. However, an inline gain boost like this solves that problem.<\/p>\n<h3>Is a Cloudlifter a Preamp?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes and no. It does help amplify mic-level signals to line level for recording. Just like your outboard <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/what-is-a-preamp\/\">preamp<\/a> or the preamp on your interface. But while those devices draw power from an external DC supply, the Cloudlifter works on phantom power.<\/p>\n<p>You also can&#8217;t control the amount of gain with a knob or dial like you can on regular preamps, and it doesn&#8217;t impart any unique characteristics on the signal\u2014it&#8217;s super clean and transparent.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s perhaps better to think of a Cloudlifter as a &#8220;pre-preamp&#8221;; it gives your quietest microphones a healthy lift before they reach your real preamp for recording.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-microphone-preamps-every-budget\/\">The Best Microphone Preamps for Every Budget<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>When Should You Use a Cloudlifter in the Studio?<\/h2>\n<p>Whenever you&#8217;re using passive, low-output dynamic and ribbon microphones and your standard preamp isn&#8217;t cutting it. Sometimes we really love the sound of running a nice preamp like a 1073 hot. It starts to saturate a bit and the sound takes on a really cool character. But not every preamp sounds great pushed, and sometimes all the gain on tap still isn&#8217;t enough for a healthy, clean recording from a very low-output microphone.<\/p>\n<h2>Should I Be Using a Cloudlifter?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53653 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2.jpg\" alt=\"What Does a Cloudlifter Do (And Should You Be Using One)?_2\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-227x170.jpg 227w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-40x30.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-20x15.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-453x340.jpg 453w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-13x10.jpg 13w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-12x9.jpg 12w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-385x289.jpg 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/What-Does-a-Cloudlifter-Do-And-Should-You-Be-Using-One_2-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If all you own is a condenser microphone, you probably don&#8217;t need a Cloudlifter.
