I was hesitant buying this for my Shure SM7B. as you probably know this is a very gain hungry mic. But I wasn't very found of spending another $150 on top of me purchasing a $400 microphone. But man am I glad I bought this. I was using a Focusrite Scarlett Solo as my interface when I purchase the cloudlifter and it worked like a charm. 25db of clean gain just like everyone said. EVEN now I use this with my Apollo Twin x. even though the Apollo has more then enough gain to power this mic. I would have to push my Apollo interface to at least 90% which I wasn't very found of doing over time. now with this cloudlifter I can have the gain on my interface to around 60%. All around, it has great sound, easy to use and great build quality. you wont regret this purchase.

Does exactly as it says and without complaining even a bit. This adapter gleeful turned my whispering SM7B into a solid contender for the best microphone I've ever had. Great value for what it does, and its small enough to fit somewhere out of the way on or under a desk without intruding too heavily on your workspace.You will need an extra XLR cable!!

Not sure why I hesitated on buying this... I spent $400 on a Shure SM7B, and $100 on a mixer and I thought that would be enough.. Nope! Sound quality still had issues, well thank god I decided to give this a try because WOW! It made a MAJOR improvement to my sound quality! And it was so easy to use! Literally just plug it in and you're done.This little device basically just boosts the volume for your mic so you can turn all your presets down to avoid static in the background. And it did that perfectly!Build Quality: Amazing, has great weight to it and is smooth to touch. It's made in America and it shows, I love supporting American companies too.Value: It's expensive, but if you dump $400 on a mic then you're doing yourself a disservice for not having this! I upgraded my Shure Sm7B from an SM58 and the jump wasn't as substantial as just adding on this cloud lifter.Verdict: This thing is a game changer and gives NIGHT AND DAY difference when using it vs not using it. Excellent quality and craftsmanship. I'm so happy I bought it, it's worth it and if you're on the fence then just BUY IT! You won't regret it!Also I paid for this in full with my own money, this review is my actual thoughts and opinions. I hope it helps you. :)

I purchased the Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator for my audio setup, pairing it with my Shure microphone and the Roland VR-1HD for phantom power. After some thorough testing, I'm ready to share my experience, which has been largely positive with a slight concern.The Good:Powerful Mic Boost: The Cloudlifter CL-1 does an excellent job of amplifying the microphone signal. It's particularly noticeable with my Shure mic, providing a significant and clean boost in gain. This enhancement is crucial for achieving professional-quality sound in recordings and live streaming. I use it for my YouTube channel. I was thinking about starting a podcast by the way.Build Quality and Ease of Use: The build quality is solid, and it's evident that it's made to last. The simplicity of the Cloudlifter is also a plus and it's pretty much plug-and-play, requiring no additional power source, which is a huge convenience. I dont even think you need a additional power such as the phantom although i do hear a difference.The Concern:Interference with my cell phone: My primary concern, and I'm still trying to pinpoint the exact cause, is that having my phone close to the setup and receiving texts or calls causes audio distortion. I suspect this interference might be related to the Cloudlifter, but it's also possible that the Shure mic is picking up these signals. This issue is something to be aware of, especially in a setup where your phone is an essential part of your workflow. I can assure you that once i move my away from the cludlift , the distorsions stop.Overall Impression:Aside from the interference issue, which I'm still investigating, the Cloudlifter CL-1 has been a great addition to my audio equipment. It delivers on its promise of providing clean, amplified sound, which is a game-changer for mics that need that extra boost. The build quality is great, and its ease of use makes it a valuable tool for both amateurs and professionals. Plug and play .Given the significant improvement in sound quality, I would recommend the Cloudlifter CL-1, but with the caveat of being mindful of potential interference from mobile devices. This might be a minor issue or something more specific to my setup, but it's worth mentioning. Overall, I'm pleased with the performance.

I use this with my Shure SM7B and Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th gen - it works great to provide you that little bit of extra gain! Just plug this in-line between the microphone and audio interface and hit the 48v button on the interface. Then adjust the volume so that it's not too loud. Perfect.Also, be sure that you have another audio cable when you buy this. Otherwise, great!

Estaba utilizando el Shure SM7B conectado directamente al GoXLR mini y tenÃa que aumentar demasiado la ganancia al grado de que se escuchaba "ruido" por tanta ganancia, con este nuevo aditamento la ganancia añadida es mucho menos y el sonido es excelente, lo recomiendo 100%

This gadget is said to amplify the audio from your microphone to an external soundcard. Alas it does not work. Do not bother with this.

Diese Bewertung bezieht sich vor allem auf Amazon.Das Produkt selbst ist klasse.Aber bestellt es nicht auf Amazon. Dies ist vor allem ein Stück Stahl mit enthaltener, toller Technik.Ich habe mir den CloudLifter geholt um ein Shure SM7B zu betreiben, was auch gut geklappt hat. Allerdings habe ich mir ein stärkeres Interface geholt, wodurch die Nutzung nach 2 Tagen obsolet war. Also wie bei jeder Rücksendung habe ich das Produkt gereinigt, desinfiziert und ordentlich verpackt zurück geschickt.Nun, ca. 2 Monate später, meldet sich Amazon und behauptet, dass dieses Produkt nicht den Rücknahmebedingungen entspricht und droht mit Kontoschließung. Für ein Produkt, wo ich nichtmal verstehe, wie es beschädigt sein soll durch eine 2-tägige Nutzung. Bestellt dieses Produkt lieber in entsprechenden HiFi-Stores, wo die Mitarbeiter der Rücknahme die Ware auch kennen...

Lo uso in accoppiata con il mio SM7B, che dire.. Permette di avere un ottimo volume in entrata senza dover spingere troppo il pre della scheda audio.Fondamentale
