The CL-1 uses any standard phantom-powered mixer or microphone input device to provide up to +25 dB of clean, transparent gain. This improves signal-to-noise ratio and improves the performance of passive microphone signals by driving stronger, cleaner signals over longer XLR cable runs, making them ideal for broadcast, live, and studio applications. The CL-1 is housed in a rugged steel enclosure which offers shielding and durability. Additionally, the CL-1 has provisions for stage or stand mounting. Gives passive mics up to +25 dB additional active output and keeps the direct audio path free-and- clear of transformers, capacitors, and resistors. The CL-1 houses discrete JFET circuitry that delivers clean gain while preserving the natural sonic characteristics of the sourceIt comes with a The HPC-A30 Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones from Polsen are designed for monitoring audio in studio, field, mobile, and DJ applications. They feature 50mm drivers that provide a frequency response of 18Hz to 22kHz for accurate reproduction of your audio. The ear cups on the HPC-A30 have an around-ear (circumaural), closed-back design, allowing for the increased isolation often desired while tracking or monitoring playback. Plus a 20' XLR-XLR cable.

I began having some equipment related issues with a ticking sound. I couldn’t figure out what was causing it. Ended up the ticking and interference sounds were being caused by my powerful wifi signal. Nothing was wrong with my cloudifier, but it wasn’t able to handle the strong WiFi signal and created interference in my recordings. They went above and beyond to help me figure out what the issue was and, not only that, replaced it with a newer upgraded cloudifier that handles those things better at no charge! They sent me out the new on on a Friday and I received it by Monday afternoon. The CEO even talked to me to try and help me. Thank you so much to the Cloud company! You guys are the best and I appreciate your going above and beyond to help me! Review: Does what it’s supposed to, plus the extra value - The cloudlifter acts exactly how I was told it would. It boosts the signal of my MD-421 to a perfectly desirable level so that I don’t have to add any gain at all, eliminating any possible hiss. It seemed expensive, yes, but I’ll happily buy another if I end up with another dynamic mic that needs it. I was especially able to accept the somewhat high price by virtue of this package: an extra long XLR cable never hurts, and the headphones that come with are decent enough for monitoring purposes. Even if I would never want to mix on them (that goes for most headphones though) having them thrown into the bundle made it easier for me to justify trying out a cloudlifter just for my top snare mic, and I have no regrets. ## Features - 1x Mic Input - Use with Passive Dynamic & Ribbon Mics - Improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio - +25 dB of Clean, Transparent Gain - Utilizes Patent Pending Class A, Discrete JFET circuitry ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0844YFPBT | | Best Sellers Rank | #40,729 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #60 in Microphone Preamps | | Brand | Cloud Microphones | | Color | black | | Connector Type | 3 Pin XLR | | Connector Type Used on Cable | 3 Pin XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 50 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Alloy Steel | | Form Factor | Compact box" or "Compact, rectangular device | | Item Weight | 1.26 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Cloud Microphones | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Mfr Part Number | CL-1 | | Model Number | Cloudlifter CL-1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cloud Microphones - **Color:** black - **Connector Type:** 3 Pin XLR - **Item Weight:** 1.26 Kilograms - **Material:** Alloy Steel ## Images ![Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator with HPC-A30 Studio Headphones & XLR Cable Bundle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RiVrX9OaL.jpg) ![Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator with HPC-A30 Studio Headphones & XLR Cable Bundle - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41QNWrfN3lL.jpg) ![Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator with HPC-A30 Studio Headphones & XLR Cable Bundle - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41X2aYpHAeL.jpg) ![Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator with HPC-A30 Studio Headphones & XLR Cable Bundle - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/411GyqdS53L.jpg) ![Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator with HPC-A30 Studio Headphones & XLR Cable Bundle - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31HTjvkYYBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this require a cable or can a mic plug right into it? i have an sm7b** A: Yes.

Made my ShureSM7B sound like a PODCAST. I don't think the headphones are good, which is fine I bought this just for cloudlifter but the headphones are straight garbage lol. I wouldn't even give my worst enemy these headphones. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator with HPC-A30 Studio Headphones & XLR Cable Bundle - Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium Short XLR to XLR Cables - 3ft, Male to Female Microphone Cable, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Mic Cord, Black - Rode PodMic Cardioid Dynamic Broadcast Microphone, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/179636903-cloud-microphones-cloudlifter-cl-1-mic-activator-with-hpc-a30](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/179636903-cloud-microphones-cloudlifter-cl-1-mic-activator-with-hpc-a30) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
