Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-Z - Vari-Z Mic Activator - Ultra-Clean Microphone Preamp Gain Variable Impedance Control + XLR Cable + 6Ave Microfiber Cleaning Cloth + More

The Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-Z Variable Impedance Mic Activator is a versatile solution for boosting the performance of passive microphones, including ribbons, in both studio and live settings. Offering up to +25 dB of clean gain, it allows for stronger, clearer signals, improving the signal-to-noise ratio even over long cable runs. The CL-Z also features fully adjustable impedance, with a sweepable range from 150 Ohms to 15 kOhms, enabling precise tonal control by adjusting the load on your mic's output transformer. The variable high-pass filter adds further flexibility by allowing you to shape low-end frequencies, reducing proximity effect or unwanted room noise. With a dual-gain switch offering both +12 dB and +25 dB settings, the CL-Z is ideal for any passive mic, enhancing both clarity and depth. The rugged steel enclosure ensures durability for on-the-go use, while the self-contained design requires only phantom power, making it compatible with most mixers and audio interfaces. Whether you're a musician, audio engineer, or broadcaster, the Cloudlifter CL-Z provides the reliable, customizable performance you need.Bundle Items Include:Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-Z Variable Impedance Mic ActivatorXLR Male to XLR Female Microphone Cable6Ave Microfiber Cleaning ClothAdjustable Cord Straps
