  • Description
The Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-Zi Instrument/Mic Activator brings our popular Cloudlifter technology to guitar players, bass players, keyboard players and more, allowing you to contour your sound with variable impedance loading.

The CL-Zi's variable impedance "Z" knob and high-pass filter work in tandem to create massive tone control through the manipulation of impedance loading. This is a great way to customize your tone before the gain stage of your signal path - just turn the "Z" knob until it sounds right!

The CL-Zi has a three-position gain switch allowing for minimum gain, more gain, or the maximum gain available (up to approx. 12dB for instruments and an impressive +25db for microphones). This allows you to access clean gain and a lower noise floor for many studio or stage applications, from an electric guitar player that uses amp modeling or an acoustic guitar player performing live to singers with dynamic microphones to increase gain before feedback on stage.

The new CL-Zi also retains all of the original Cloudlifter-Z features for adding clean gain to dynamic and ribbon microphones.

Features:
  • Fully sweep-able variable impedance loading from 150ohms to 15kohms
  • High-Pass filter frequency variable from below 20hz to over 4khz
  • Three gain settings yield up to +25dB, 12dB, or 6dB with mics and up to +12dB, 6dB, or 3dB with instruments
  • Compatible with 1/4" Hi-z instrument inputs and XLR Lo-z microphones
  • Hi-z input of >1M ohm primary impedance prior to secondary loading via the Cloudlifter's Vari-Z interface
  • Improves microphone gain before feedback ratio in live & public address applications
  • Easy to use self-contained design requires only phantom power
  • Compatible with dynamic, ribbon, tube, battery, or power supply driven microphones
  • Uses patented Class A, discrete JFET circuitry and patented Vari-Z user interface
  • Rugged, road-ready, and portable for studio, stage, and broadcasting
  • Free lifetime limited warranty for parts and labor with product registration
  • Manufactured and fabricated responsibly in the USA
