Whether you are recording in a professional studio, streaming a podcast, or performing live, the Cloudlifter CL-Z ensures optimal microphone sensitivity and tonal character. Designed for dynamic and ribbon microphones, it provides up to +25dB of ultra clean gain while protecting delicate ribbon mics from phantom power.

Manufactured in the USA and on the Navajo Reservation, the Cloudlifter CL-Z is a premium, high quality solution for achieving pristine audio.
Key Features:
- Ultra Clean Gain:
Provides up to +25dB of ultra clean gain, enhancing microphone sensitivity while preserving natural tone. - Variable Impedance Control:
The innovative Vari-Z control allows you to shape and contour the sound of your dynamic or ribbon microphone. - High Pass Filtering:
A continuously variable high pass filter at 6dB per octave works alongside the impedance control for even greater tonal customisation.
Bring Your Microphones to Life:
The Cloudlifter CL-Z increases the sensitivity of your microphone while preserving its natural tonal characteristics. With its ultra clean gain, it enables your microphone to deliver a strong, noise free signal, reducing the need for excessive preamp gain. This not only improves clarity but also minimises distortion, allowing your microphone’s true sound to shine. Whether you are working in a studio, a live setting, or a home recording environment, the CL-Z is the perfect tool for improving microphone performance.
Optimised for Low Output Microphones:
Designed specifically for low output dynamic and ribbon microphones, the Cloudlifter CL-Z ensures superior sound quality by providing a significant boost in gain. This allows preamps and interfaces to operate in their optimal range, reducing noise and feedback. Thanks to its premium discrete JFET circuitry, the CL-Z maintains the purity of your sound, making it an essential addition to any professional or home recording setup.
Reduce Noise and Feedback:
By increasing microphone sensitivity, the Cloudlifter CL-Z minimises the amount of gain required from your preamp. This helps to reduce unwanted noise and feedback, making your recordings cleaner and more professional. Its advanced impedance and filtering controls allow you to tailor your sound to suit your recording or performance needs, ensuring clarity and precision in every application.
