Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-Zi Mic Activator

Take your sound to the next level with the Cloudlifter CL-Zi — the ultimate mic activator and tone-shaping tool for creators. Whether you're recording vocals, miking instruments, or plugging in a guitar, the CL-Zi delivers up to +25dB of ultra-clean gain, powerful tone control with variable impedance and filtering, and crystal-clear clarity that makes every performance shine. +25dB of Ultra-Clean GainBoosts microphone or instrument signal strength without adding unwanted noise, allowing your preamp or interface to operate more efficiently. Phantom Powered (48V) and Ribbon Mic SafeUses standard 48V phantom power to operate, but does not pass it through—making it completely safe for sensitive ribbon microphones. Variable Impedance Control (Vari-Z Knob)Shape your tone by adjusting impedance levels—150 to 15k Ohms in Mic Mode, and 15k to 1.5M Ohms in DI Mode—for greater sonic flexibility. Variable High-Pass FilterContinuously adjustable high-pass filter at -6dB per octave works with impedance control to remove unwanted low frequencies and shape tone. Three-Stage Gain SwitchSelect from three gain settings to optimize the signal for both XLR microphones (up to +25dB) and 1/4-inch Hi-Z instruments (up to +15dB). Premium JFET Discrete CircuitryMaintains audio purity with a transformerless design that excludes capacitors and resistors from the direct signal path. Made in the USADesigned and built with high-quality components for lasting performance and reliability.
