In addition, it provides pristine gain and ensures optimal impedance loading for dynamic and ribbon microphones. So, no matter how dramatic of an impact this transparent technology may have on your recordings, you can be sure you're really just hearing your mic at its best. This means that once the product is delivered, you'll have 60 days to decide that you definitely want to keep it. And then I read a short narration (as is my custom, another fabulous excerpt from Zen and the Art of Mixing.

DPA's approach when creating the d:vote CORE 4099G Instrument Microphone was to create a mic that is equally at home on the stage and in the studio. While any recording is going to need some tweaking here and there to be perfect in every way you want it to be, a gain booster like the CL-1 Cloudlifter will make sure you don’t have to butcher your tracks too badly if you have a power-hungry mic.There's usually some sweet spot (often around 1 or 2 o'clock), but depending on where I want this source to sit in the mix, I may go darker or brighter (to taste).

Provides up to +25dB of active ultra-clean gain in two distinct stages and optimal impedance loading for dynamic and ribbon mics to perform their best. Featuring their signature ultra-clean gain combined with a custom designed nickel-core CineMag transformer.Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator is an easy to use, compact solution for common audio problems faced in the field and in the studio. Despite AKG’s claims that it was “designed in Austria,” it was actually designed in Germany, by Neumann in about 1986. The HPF certainly does add more possibilities, but since that one knob is effectively dual function now, you can't really use it the same way as a typical filter. If you have problems with radio interference from long cables to your ribbon mics, then the CL-1 would probably help you. In large venues, it boosts the signal enough to drive your signal over long XLR cables ensuring optimum sound quality.

Enclosed in a rugged steel enclosure offering excellent shielding, the CL-1 is ideal for stage or stand mounting with an included strap.

The majority of decisions are given instantly, so you could get your new gear sooner than you thought!
