Selling my used but excellent/mint condition Cloudlifter CL-1 that was barely used since I bought it from Sweetwater in March 2026 (selling because I just upgraded to a 1073 clone microphone preamp).

Pasted from Sweetwater:
The Cl-1 is a 1-channel mic activator that provides up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain for passive microphones. It's designed to boost the signal of low-output dynamic and ribbon mics, making them louder and clearer before they reach your mixer or audio interface. This helps improve your signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring a professional sound.

The Cloudlifter CL-1 is ideal for anyone using low-output passive microphones, such as popular dynamic mics like the Shure SM7B or classic ribbon microphones. It's perfect for podcasters, broadcasters, vocalists, and engineers who need to get a strong, clean signal into their preamp without introducing unwanted noise, especially with quieter sources.

Connecting the Cloudlifter CL-1 is straightforward. You simply plug your passive microphone into the CL-1's XLR input. Then, connect the CL-1's XLR output to your mixer, audio interface, or preamp. The Cloudlifter draws its power directly from the phantom power (48V) supplied by your preamp, so no external power supply is needed.

The Cloudlifter CL-1 is specifically designed to enhance passive dynamic and ribbon microphones. These types of mics often have lower output levels, benefiting greatly from the CL-1's clean gain boost. It is not intended for use with condenser microphones, as they already require phantom power and typically have higher output levels.
