Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL X

Cloudlifter CL-X

TRANSFORM YOUR MICS

Experience the character and excitement of a new kind of Cloudlifter. The Cloudlifter X adds a high-quality custom designed Cinemag transformer and an output attenuator to give you even more creative ways to bring your mics to life! The CL-X is the perfect compliment to the original Cloudlifter, providing an even greater range of outputs: up to +36 dB or +12 dB with the attenuator engaged. Use the +12 dB output option to capture high SPL sources like Shure SM-57 on a snare, or a Sennheiser 421 on a guitar amp and you’ll hear the transformer respond dynamically with the slightest kiss of saturation! Or, use the +36dB output option to bring out the detail of especially low volume instruments and performaces, like acoustic guitar, strings, or ASMR.

X = More Gain

The CL-X is perfectly suited for using low-output microphones to capture quieter source material such as acoustic instruments, podcasting, ASMR, or even Foley. Cloud partnered with CineMag to develop a custom nickel transformer with a huge bandwidth, adding the element of dynamic character. Combined with the ultra-clean gain of the Cloudlifter core, the CL-X is responsive to the signal you give it.

"Our customers love the CL-1 for its ultra-clean, transparent gain. With the addition of a custom transformer, the CL-X will respond to different sources and input levels with dynamic character, excitement, and musical saturation.
We like to say
The hotter the signal you give it, the more love it will give back"
