Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-Z Microphone Activator with Variable Impedance

Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-Z Mic ActivatorThe Cloudlifter CL-Z is a variable impedance mic activator designed and manufactured by Cloud Microphones. The CL-Z provides +12 dB up to +25 dB of ultra-clean gain, which maximizes the signal clarity of your microphone. It lowers the noise floor and required gain with any preamp. Thus, letting preamps to operate in a more comfortable gain range. You get a wide range of new tonal variations with the CL-Z, thanks to the variable input impedance loading of 150 Ohm to 15 kOhm. The CL-Z has dual gain switch that allows you for more gain or maximum gain. The max gain is approximately +25 dB. You can also reduce the gain setting to +12dB for recordings where the source does not require as much gain.TECHNICAL SPECS:I/O: 1x XLR input | 1x XLR outputInput Impedance: 150 Ohm to 15 kOhmGain: +12 dB or +25 dB increaseHigh-Pass Filter Frequency: 20hz to 200hzCircuitry: Patented Class A, JFETCompatibility: dynamic, ribbon, tube, battery, power supply driven microphones

• The Cloudlifter CL-Z features a variable impedance control, Vari-Z, that contours the sound of your dynamic or ribbon microphone. It has a variable impedance loading, sweepable from 150 Ohm to 15 kOhm.
• The dual gain setting yields +12dB up to +25 dB of ultra-clean gain for low output, eliminating the crackle and hiss produced by the amps. Cloudlifter allows your mic preamp to work without the unwanted noise or feedback.
• Cloud Microphones designed the CL-Z with patented Class A, discreet JFET circuit. This compact unit preserves your mic's natural sound.
• The CL-Z is compatible with ribbon, dynamic, tube, power-supply, or battery driven microphones. It is also roadworthy for outdoor gigs such as onstage and broadcast. You can also use this for studio recording.
• The direct-coupled, discrete JFET circuitry preserves your signal's integrity while the CL-Z goes to work
