Free delivery and returns on eligible orders. Review: FINALLY, I can sound LOUD! - I've used both a Blue spark mic and a Shure SM7B and both require post production edits to raise the volume. Turning up the gain on my pre-amp simply wouldn't cut it since it introduced the inevitable hiss. I noticed that many people recommended the Cloudlifter and a 'must-have' if you own an SM7B. Since I just bought an SM7B and was witnessing the same need to pump up the volume, I took the plunge. No power is necessary which is a bonus, since it draws the phantom power from the pre-amp and essentially powers itself (and obviously the mic). There's nothing to shout about other than the unit does EXACTLY what it reports to do. It raises the volume of the mic without any unwanted noise. The phantom power is not eradicated using a dynamic mic, it's EMPLOYED - as it should be! The result is that I'm managed to be able to reduce my gain by a quarter on the dial...and no post-production volume changes are necessary! Perfect! This takes away from my workload since I churn out instructional videos by the dozen and something forget that I need to pump up the volume. The unit is solid metal and built like a tank. I imagine this to be the ideal solution fr those people who might use this in the road. though mine is 'on display' lying on its side with the logo showing, the unit has large rubber feet which allows it to sit securely on a desk. The XLR's snap in nicely and firmly. There's shady copies of the cloudlifter on the market for a fraction of the price, but people have stripped them down to see that the 'meat' inside is far inferior in contrast. The copies produce a loud of unwanted noise too. I'm with those people who recommend the cloudlifter for the SM7B, since it works a charm. I see no reason why it wouldn't work great for other dynamic mics too. If you're looking for that boost in volume, just buy one. Review: Really good for ribbon mics - I have had one for five years. Use phantom power to 1) preamp for ribbon mic. great preamp with minimal noise-floor where you have to EQ it up a bit in hi mids, and 2) same for all dynamic mics to give you a bit more level to play with. Would recommend unconditionally. for anyone recording with ribbon mics, which I have found makes more forward sound in the mix. Especially good for female vocals and acoustic guitars. ## Features - FOR HOME STUDIOS & PROFESSIONAL RECORDING: In the studio, boost the signal of quiet audio sources like vocals, percussion, or acoustic instruments while maintaining the natural sound of your microphone. - REDUCE NOISE WHILE ADDING MICROPHONE CLARITY & SIGNAL STRENGTH: The Cloudlifter CL-1 mic activator uses Phantom power to give passive mics up to +25dB without passing Phantom power onto the mics themselves.

If yes, it is not supposed to work. **Q: Does it work with Blue Yeti?** A: no, the yeti microphone is powered by USB and also routes its audio via USB. you won't physically be able to plug it into this. **Q: Will this improve my Zoom calls?** A: Completely depends on what microphone you have, this tool simply makes your microphone louder without having to have high gain, basically removing all the static noise in the background. **Q: Does it work without phantom power? can i use my sm58 ?** A: This requires phantom power but thats not for the microphone it's to power the cloudlifter itself. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FINALLY, I can sound LOUD! *by D***I on 26 February 2020* I've used both a Blue spark mic and a Shure SM7B and both require post production edits to raise the volume.

I record podcasts for the company I work for and these products give the mics that little boost I need to get solid recordings every time. Super easy to set up, just make sure you can provide them with phantom power. They can be pricey, but having used a fethead and I can safely say these give b superior performance in every environment I find myself in when recording. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cloud Microphones - Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator - Ultra-Clean Microphone Preamp Gain - USA Made - Shure SM7B Microphone - Vocal Dynamic Studio Mic for Broadcast, Podcast, Recording, Gaming & Streaming, XLR, Rugged Construction, Detachable Windscreen, Smooth Sound, Warm Vocals, Wide-Range Frequency - Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium XLR to XLR Cables - 6ft, Male to Female Microphone Cable, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Mic Cord, 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.pe/products/53746119-cloudlifter-cl-1-mic-activator-ultra-clean-microphone-preamp-gain](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/53746119-cloudlifter-cl-1-mic-activator-ultra-clean-microphone-preamp-gain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
