The Cloud® Microphones Cloudlifter® Z Mic Activator® uses phantom power from your preamp to solve an array of common issues with dynamic & ribbon microphones while maximizing your audio quality, making it a must-have box for your studio or live toolset. It’s designed to be a middleman between your mic & preamp, maximizing the signal quality by providing an additional +25dB of ultra-clean gain. This can dramatically improve the sound quality when using preamps that are noisy in their upper gain range, & with long cable runs.

The Z provides a spectrum of new possibilities with its comprehensive feature set. Continuously variable input impedance from 150 ohms to 15k ohms allows for ultimate control over your microphones character, while the variable low-cut filter allows for custom tonal shaping & control over the mic’s natural proximity effect. This is really useful for voice & other sources where lower frequencies need a gentle or drastic reduction.

The Z, like all Cloudlifters, requires phantom power to operate, yet does not pass phantom to the input. For this reason, Cloudlifters are an ideal solution for ribbon, dynamic, & tube microphones alike!
